Noriyuki 'Pat' Morita (June 28, 1932 – November 24, 2005) was an American actor of Japanese descent who was well-known for playing the role of Matsuo "Arnold" Takahashi on Happy Days and as Mr. Miyagi in the The Karate Kid movie series, in which he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in 1984.
ACADEMY AWARD/OSCAR NOMINEES THAT SHOULD HAVE WON BASED ON MY OPINION
There were some Nominees throughout Oscar history that I thought or felt they should have won over the real winners. Like Tom Hulce for "Best Actor" in Amadeus. Ian McKellen for "Best Supporting Actor" in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Also, Avengers: Endgame should have won "Best Visual Effects" instead of 1917. And Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse should have won "Best Animated Feature Film" instead of The Boy and the Heron.
