Mary Mouser has built up quite the resume over the years, but there’s no denying that Cobra Kai is a special one. Not only is the show a phenomenal continuation of the classic Karate Kid film, but it’s also a series that’s amassed quite the fanbase over the course of its two-season run on YouTube. The Cobra Kai fandom is a mighty passionate group and I’ve got a very good feeling that fandom is going to get even bigger courtesy of the shift to Netflix. Mouser steps in as Samantha LaRusso, Daniel La Russo’s (Ralph Macchio) daughter. Dad did teach her a thing or two about karate when Samantha was young, but as a teenager, she got a bit distracted by the high school social scene. However, when Sam falls for Johnny Lawrence’s (William Zabka) star student at the revived Cobra Kai, she finds herself being drawn back into the world of competitive karate.With Cobra Kai Seasons 1 and 2 hitting Netflix on August 28th, Mouser took the time to join us for an episode of Collider Ladies Night to talk about her journey from being Abigail Breslin's photo double on the movie Signs to joining the Karate Kid franchise!
