Wax On, Wax Off has Shuffled Off. Mr. Miyagi, Pat Morita dead at 73
(Posted In Film News Random Geek Talk )
Well, here's a bit of crappy news. Granted, he wasn't at the forefront of my watch list as far as actors go, but he certainly has a mainstay in my chapters of fond childhood memories. And who isn't familiar with the whole "Wax On, Wax Off" phrase?
It looks like natural causes according to an article by the associated press. So I guess it was simply his time. Rest Well Sensei. Thanks for the memories.
