Ridiculously underrated actor. One of the greatest comebacks in the history of movie villains. Brilliant acting, writing, and production

Thomas Ian Griffith deserves HUGE paydays! He MADE season 4, I had chills Everytime he was in scene. And listen to how he talks, great human being. What a good man!

This man deserves more roles and work. He’s very talented

Such a genuine, good hearted soul Thomas is. He did an exquisite job bringing Terry Silver on the screen. Absolutely amazing.

It still cracks me up to this day that Thomas Ian Griffith is younger than Ralph Macchio. But he’s playing a character so much older than Ralph Macchio‘s character.

Silver lived up to all the expectations created by all fans, prediction videos, and Cobra Kai based channels. Seriously what a bad ass character.

This guy went from a “practically unknown” to one of my favorite actors in a matter of days

What a thoroughly nice, humble and engaging gentleman Mr.Griffith is.

He was the best character in season 4 along with Kreese. Both need to win an Emmy for their performance

"ASAH!" "OK pretty boy LESS GO let's see what you learned." EPIC! It was amazing to see Johnny "the bully" finally get bullied himself.

Seems like a super nice guy in real life. Points to the fact he is a fantastic actor

Thomas Ian Griffith is phenomenal. Gotta be one of the coolest dudes on the planet. Side note, he was excellent as Valek in John Carpenter’s Vampires.

Thomas is the most bad ass actor character that everyone wants in this show and I'm so happy he came on board and did such a wonderful job. Nuff said. A+++++++

I never realized that in Karate Kid 3, but Thomas is a FUCKING GREAT actor, just the way he expresses himself, he is truly amazing as Terry.

This man MADE part 3 worth the watch then sold the absurdity that he, himself, infused in the role, and did it convincingly. It takes a great actor to run with a role like Terry Silver and make it THAT memorable, then bring it back and somehow top it. Plus, the guy seems like he's legit super nice.

Terry Silver is my personal favorite character in Cobra Kai. Foreshadowing the notion of "one's weakness" and following it through in the end, wow!

He made season 4 for me. Incredible actor. All the scenes with him were amazing to watch. When he was down in the wine cellar, and had that look in his eyes.. Silver is back. Roundkick Ah--sah!

I'll be honest, never expected a performance from Cobra Kai to contend for an emmy against the likes of Succession or White Lotus, but Thomas Ian Griffith really does turn in Emmy caliber work. Phenomenal.

Terry Silver has to be the comeback villain character of the year. He was amazing in Karate Kid III and even more amazing after 30 years later

He's fantastic this season. He was a bit of a cartoony villain in Karate Kid 3 but he's much more complex now and Thomas Ian Griffith has really given this character depth. Great to watch!

Thomas Ian Griffith is a phenomenal actor. He did amazing with his character, Terry Silver. I'm happy he returned to acting and reminding us of what Terry Silver's about... I can't wait to see what he'll do with his character next in season 5. Terry Silver: Ultimate Chess-master.

Thomas was amazing in Cobra Kai. By the end of season 4 he's Lex Luthor.

When Terry was on screen I just felt gripped! Amazing actor.

Terry Silver is the best villain. That move he pulls at the end of the season is legendary 😈

What a smile.

2:38 = She asked a great and revealing question. Thomas Ian Griffith does such a good job at answering the question in an ambiguous way that doesnt spoil S5 or S6, while also giving insight to how Terry thinks. That was slick!

He absolutely killed it with his performance! I couldn’t wait for that character being brought back into the series. Such an iconic villain!

THIS MAN STOLE THE SHOW! He was brilliant!

I love how he unravels at the end with the classical music lol

He's also held his end up in the martial arts world with the fight scenes. Those weren't doubles. Nice to see legitimate martial artists like Ian Griffith still contribute in their older age.

Love how it shows the effect of what Kreese was trying to do to him, that "minefields" episode where it shows kreese exploiting Silver's ptsd because he apparently said a word out of line, I like the grey area because in some ways you could say that although extreme Terry's actions otherwise were justified.

I like Thomas Ian Griffith since I saw him in Vampires, that John Carpenter movie. For me, that was the best work of his career. Now, Cobra Kai in the second position. Great actor! 08/01/22

The beauty of this show is you understand where the bad guys are coming from. You can't help but be angry at them but on the other side Root for them. Terry is suffering from PTSD probably from both the war and his dad. I understand why he's frustrated with Kreese bringing up the war and the cage all of the time. Can silver become a good guy? I think we all hope so. Kreese is for sure going to redeem himself

Badass actor playing a badass antagonist in a badass show. Everything about Cobra Kai is BADASS!

I was rooting for Terry up until episode 7, he even showed signs of being a good sensei telling his students to face their fears and was more of a pacifist, contrasting Kreese's aggression. He had turned his life around and was a good man so I hope he is redeemed.

I can't wait to see Cobra Kai Season 5🙏🙏🙏🤞🤞🤞🤞🙌🙌🙌

Growing up, I watched Karate Kid III over and over again because the way Terry manipulated Daniel was evil, yet so fascinating to me. I'd regularly check to see if Ian had any acting projects lined up and was so happy to see him back in this show. It's the perfect return to acting, and long may he be a part of this saga.

Thomas is such a nice and sophisticated guy and a very underrated actor. Great Interview!

He was amazing in Season 4. Especially for someone who retired from acting over 10 years ago.

I just love his smile so much!

Not only that Terry is back but Terry is now really Silver. 😏

Terry Silver did not disappoint, he was as treacherous as ever.

Terry and Hawk are the best characters. Can't wait until season five.

There's no one better than him to play Terry Silver

What an amazing actor! Love him.

I havent watched many Thomas Ian Griffith movies (I have Watched Karate Kid 3) But after this season of Cobra kai I must😊 Hove he holded himself at this role was ingredible, cunin,calmly intelligent, seemingly shaken, unhinded, grazy, circeling back to suave😎😊

Terry and Terry. It's just perfect.

I'm probably the only kid who watched KK3 and wanted Terry to have redemption. I remember wanting him to show up in the cartoon(yes, I remember watching the cartoon) as a redeemed character, or even in The Next Karate Kid..... I was a strange child lol I love that he came back this season and I love what they did with the character... I still hope he is redeemable and I hope Daniel can forgive him for what he did.

Those were great questions and his answers were even better

Great stuff by Griffith. The thing is even as "Terrance" he gave off a very convincing performance and was unhappy at bumping into Kreese again. My favourite scene is the bathroom "flip" scene, Griffith didn't say a word but conveyed so much. I actually do think he can be redeemed, eg whereas before he blocked out Kreese and his new circle of friends weren't even aware that he was a Vet we see he then started blocking out Cheyenne instead. Putting all the Tofu aside I actually think it is Cheyenne who will be the key to bringing Silver out of his PTSD descent into madness and help him release his guilt over getting "Ponytail" killed. I suspect that whatever was a part of the "thoughtfulness" app will be the counter point to all the CObra Kai Quicksilver stuff

This man is the action hero we all want!! Great acting on the show. Just great! He made this season my favourite so far

I thought he was a kinder gentler Terry until that last episode. Then bam! I was like Terry is back baby! Can't wait for Mike Barnes!

Character development is top notch! I didn't like Thomas Ian Griffith as Terry Silver in Karate Kid 3 because I thought he was over the top acting the character, but bringing him back completely changed my view. He is seasoned now and he played his character perfectly this time around. Everyone is great! I'm hoping season 5 and on we will see the characters use martial arts lessons they learned in their life, like Miguel being able to use defense against bad people where he is going. I can't wait for the next season... Chozen Toguchi will also be BACK!!!

I kinda hope he's not redeemed. I love that show is all about the gray area, but I think it needs a genuine big bad for the final two seasons. You can still be a complex and interesting character while being a villain.

the way this guy acted you forget its been years since he been in anything..

I am so happy to see him back, he is a such a great character. But now i wonder..what happened to Mike Barnes ?

Have been loving the entire series so far and although the entire cast did an amazing job, without disrespecting any of the cast members, Terry Silver aka Thomas Ian Griffith truly stole the show!! 4 is my favorite season so far and looking forward to the 5th!

Ammmazzing Interview 🐍🥋🤟🏾 🏆👑🎹Terry Silver is an Amazing villain 🥋🐍🤟🏾🏆👑🎹

What an awesome guy; he and Billy give great interviews!

Good interview

This man is younger than Ralph Maccio.. He look so Adult in comparison..

His room looks like the kind of place Silver would live in

Glad to see Terry Silver back!! He totally stole Season 4. His manipulation to everybody was golden. Stealing the tournament, throwing Kreese in jail and keeping a straight face in all of it. That was awesome. To be honest, when I first saw Cobra Kai when it was on You Tube, I was really nervous to watch it. I was thinking to myself, "another Karate Kid? What's next. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or something." Given the last "Karate Kid" was a debacle. Totally sucked and why call it "Karate Kid". Shouldn't it "Kung Fu Kid"? Anyway, like everybody else, I gave it a chance and to this date, I'm loving every moment of it. Bringing back characters from the movies really fills in the gaps and opens new stories. Terry Silver was amazing in this season. Can't wait until S5. And Chozen Sensei is back!? I have a feeling Mike Barnes might be back real soon as well.

*Uncle Terry* !!!!!!!!! Love ya man :)

just imagine how wonderful a vision the Cobra Kai team have, enough to bring this man out of retirement.

Utter Legend!

Kudos to the interviewer with great questions

Great actor. Id love to see him in a MCU movie

I’m madly in love with him I’m not even gonna try to hide it

When I grow older I really hope I do so gracefully like him....He charming and badass all in one.

Silvers is the best character!

I can’t wait to see Terry silver to be in cobra Kai season 5 later on this year.

Title should have been "Perry Interviews Terry" XD

AWESOME.

Terry Silver is so baddass that you just love to hate him.. Thomas Ian Griffith is an incredible actor to be able to pull that off. Every scene he's in he just kills it. Like Tim Roth in Rob Roy.

"John, what did you do?" LMAO!!!!

He killed it, made the entire show can’t wait for season 5

I don't think Silver can be redeemed, or Kreese for that matter, but then again, they redeemed Chozen, which I could have never imagined they would be able to do, but they did it. Only thing though was Chozen had the benefit of time, he did horrible things, but he had 35 years to reflect on what he did, and change. Kreese or Silver would have to basically change in a very short period of time, they are in their 60's and 70's, they are set in their ways, Chozen was maybe 17 or 18 when he did the things he did.

Thomas Ian Griffith is the Steven Seagal we all really deserved.

A man can't play piano like a madman, he can't fight.

Thomas plays Terry Silver so good you think it is actually him 😄 top actor at its best 🏆🏆🏆🏆

Iconic Terry silver.

Terry Silver is awesome

Thomas Ian Griffith nailed it season 4. Exceeded all expectations. You laughed with him and terrified by how he was with the students. The writers/showrunners fleshed his character well.

love him

1:10 loving her halloween pumpkin from the 1st one , with the slit from mouth to nose ..

Terry Silver is basically the Green Goblin of the Cobra Kai Series especially since he’s crazy & dangerous 💚💜😈🥋🐍🔥🤟🏾 🎹 🩸

He absolutely killed it!

at the end of cobra kai series final fight is gonna be kreese vs silver over a pit of snakes

He was fantastic!!!

Love the character and the actor seems like a genuinely nice guy also.

This guy would make a great star wars Sith

Good stuff.

Collider, you should have Ian Griffin if Kim Sun Yung is real in Cobra Kai. The reason I say this was because Silver mentions Kim Sun Yung in KK3 and he was mention by Captain Turner. Also, Capt. Turner mentions he was trained in Tang So Doo by Kim.

Thomas Ian Griffith would have made a great Bond villain in the 80's I think he would have fit the role of Max Zorin in" A View to a Kill" better than Christopher Walken. They almost look the same but Walken a much more known actor. Griffith is a mystery why he didn't get more roles after KK3 he's a very convincing villain.

I love this actor,, yes, he can change into a better character on the show if the writers make it like that, I don't want to see the character of Terry Silver being destroyed, I'd much rather see him change into a kinder, loving character,, that's what I would love to see,, if he does change into a better character that will take a long time though, but that's ok,, I'm ready for alot more seasons of Cobra Kai, and alot more of Terry Silver,, much love from me to Terry Silver, and the actor that plays him. :)

He needs to be in John Wick or something similar.

HE IS FUCKING AWWWWWESOOOOME!!!!

Great actor ❤️

Amazing performace. He became more and more like silver over time. Agree or disagree; In karate kid history. Toughest characters Myagi/Sato? Chozen Silver Barnes Kreese Laruso/Jonny
