What you might not know about the man behind Mr. Miyagi, is that there were many facets to Noriyuki "Pat" Morita. He was more than a sensei that broke boards on the big screen, he broke stereotypes and racial barriers with his comedy and acting, and in darker times in his life, with a drink in his hand, he broke himself sometimes too.
An icon to kids who grew up in the 1980s especially, Pat Morita's most famous role came in 1984 with the release of The Karate Kid. His role as Mr. Miyagi is still considered one of the most beloved father figures in film to this day.

OW critics pick what’s new to streaming and VOD for the weekend of February 5. Plus: Everything new to VOD and streaming platforms.
Falling
(Viggo Mortensen)
Mortensen’s first feature as a writer/director finds the actor shaping a simple father-son story into a powerful meditation on compassion at any cost. It’s not perfect, but it’s powerful. Mortensen plays John, a gay man who’s taken a week off to bring his ailing father Willis (Lance Henriksen) out west from his rural New York farm. Willis is suffering from dementia and rapidly deteriorating, and John is looking to make things easier on the old man – but Willis’s illness has only amplified the fury, misogyny and homophobia that drove his family away decades earlier. Falling is rough in the way that first films can be, but even when something doesn’t quite work you can see the intention behind it. Mortensen’s heart is in the right place; he wants us to understand these characters, as difficult as it might be to do so. With a more conventional director at the helm, Falling could have been reassuring, polished awards bait; instead, it’s something richer and more discomfiting. I’ve been thinking about it a lot since I saw it. So will you. 112 min.

Director Kevin Derek provides an intimate look at the man as he rose to stardom finding success on stage and the screen from loved ones achieving the balance focusing on his success while placing his problems within proper perspective.
There's something to be said about the nature of humanity and the need to feel a sense of worth through selflessness, especially within the world of performing arts. In the realm of comedy, we have many iconic figures that fall within the "sad clown" category, who spent their entire lives entertaining the world like

The documentary "More Than Miyagi: The Pat Morita Story" tries to peel back the public layers of a private man to get beneath the facade of a calculated image.

TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) â Few cinematic icons are as stalwart as Mr. Miyagi, the aphorism-spinning sensei who taught martial arts to bullied kids in the four "Karate Kid" films.
The role not only earned actor Noriyuki "Pat" Morita a best supporting actor Oscar nomination, but lifted him to the highest echelon of film icons, serving as a sage figure for the children of the 1980s and 90s. Morita became so associated with Miyagi -- as well as Arnold in "Happy Days" -- that his public persona was almost indistinguishable from the roles.
