SPOILERS: The following story reveals important plot points from Cobra Kai Season 6, Part 2.

Hayden Schlossberg (Cobra Kai) makes his acting debut in Netflix’s Cobra Kai in Season 6, Part 2.

He portrays the character of Ezra, Terry Silver’s (Thomas Ian Griffith) flashy lawyer. Yes, Terry Silver is back! Ezra and Terry make their first appearance in episode 9 titled “Blood In Blood Out”.

Schlossberg and his two best friends and collaborators Jon Hurwitz and Josh Heald created together Cobra Kai as a love letter to their favorite movie franchise, The Karate Kid. While the trio is already deeply embedded in the legacy of Miyagi-verse, Schlossberg can also tout his contributions to the screen.

“I didn’t necessarily (always want to be) on the show, but I always liked the idea of ​​acting,” Schlossberg shared with Deadline during a recent Zoom with the Counterbalance Entertainment trio.

“But I’m not an actor who wants to pursue it unless it’s the right type of thing. And when it comes to being Terry Silver’s lawyer, that felt like the type of role that’s in my wheelhouse. And ever since season 5 we talked about him being arrested. I just imagined what Terry Silver’s legal team is like and knew I wanted to be a part of it,” he added.

Hurwitz and Heald teased their buddy a bit about becoming a big star after this, and Schlossberg confirmed that he’s still the same guy he’s always been. The trio remained mum on whether Hurwitz and Heald might appear in a scene or two of the show’s final episodes. Deadline exclusively confirmed that there are still plenty of surprises ahead.
