Chad McQueen Appreciation Thread (1960-2024, R.I.P.)

[Moviefan2k4]

Actor and race-car driver Chad McQueen, son of famed screen star Steve McQueen, passed away two days ago. He was 63 years old.

His most famous acting credit was arguably that of a Cobra Kai student named Dutch in The Karate Kid, friend to Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) and fellow enemy of the film's hero Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio). Aside from that, Chad worked mostly in lower-profile films until quitting the business in 2001 to pursue racing. USA Today was apparently the first to break this story; you can read the whole thing right here.
