I finally had the chance to sit down one-on-one with actor Jeff Kaplan, following our earlier group chat with 12 Cobra Kai cast members back in March. Jeff shares his experiences being part of the worldwide hit show, from the humorous (and sometimes painful) moments like being slapped by William Zabka to his admiration for the Big Three – Josh, John, and Haydn.
Our conversation also dives into Jeff’s work outside Cobra Kai, including his entry into the Savannah 48 Hour Film Festival, a unique challenge where filmmakers receive criteria at the last minute and must create a complete short film within 48 hours. The film will screen online at 8 PM on October 27th, with tickets available via Eventbrite.
Jeff’s mix of humor, insight, and dedication to his craft makes this an enjoyable and enlightening chat for any Cobra Kai fan or film enthusiast. Sit back and enjoy his stories from set, festival adventures, and reflections on being part of a global phenomenon.
