On Thursday, April 8, 2010, at 9:49 AM (EDT), Ralph Macchio (actor, writer, director) called and left a voice-mail in support of our World T’ai Chi & Qigong Day — Patchogue on the Water Tiger School’s phone line. Although Mr. Macchio has had a varied and successful career in the entertainment industry, most will remember him as Daniel LaRusso in the 1984 movie The Karate Kid. |
