Chadwick S. "Chad" McQueen (born December 28, 1960) was an American actor, film producer, martial artist and race car driver. He was born in Los Angeles, California to actor Steve McQueen and Filipino-born actress Neile Adams. McQueen began his career as an actor, playing the character Dutch in The Karate Kid and The Karate Kid Part II. His further acting work included main roles in direct-to-video action films including Martial Law, Death Ring, and Red Line. He also worked as a producer, winning a Telly Award for his documentary Filming at Speed. After his retirement from acting, McQueen appeared as himself on various television programs related to motorsports, including Hot Rod TV and Celebrity Rides. Attempts were made to arrange for him to reprise his role as Dutch in the series Cobra Kai, but commitments to his company, McQueen Racing, and problems with his racing injuries, prevented this. He almost appeared in the show's final season before backing out due to scheduling conflicts. McQueen dated Jill Henderson White Pasceri in the 1980s, a USEF Equestrian rider and horse trainer. He was married to Stacia Toten from 1987 to 1990. The couple had a son, Steven R. McQueen (b. 1988), also an actor. McQueen married Jeanie Galbraith in 1993.[ McQueen died from organ failure at his ranch in Palm Desert, California on September 11, 2024, at the age of 63. According to a friend, Arthur Barens, McQueen had never fully recovered from an injury he sustained in a fall in 2020.

In the heart of the San Fernando Valley, a new kind of danger emerges. Demons, creatures of darkness, begin to appear in the dead of night, terrorizing innocent people. As the familiar rivalry between Miyagi-Do, Eagle Fang, and Cobra Kai intensifies, a new, more dangerous challenge arises: a supernatural force that even the toughest martial artists can’t easily defeat. Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence are forced to put aside their differences when they realize that their students are at risk from these monsters. But when a group of Demon Slayers, led by Tanjiro Kamado and his sister Nezuko, arrives from Japan, the two martial arts legends quickly realize their skills are no match for these creatures. With the help of the Demon Slayer Corps, they must train their students to harness powerful techniques known as the Breath Styles, blending their karate with new, otherworldly abilities. However, Terry Silver, ever the manipulator, sees an opportunity to use the demons to his advantage. Seeking ultimate power, Silver strikes a dangerous deal with an Upper Moon Demon, gaining supernatural abilities that make him even more ruthless than before. As Cobra Kai becomes a breeding ground for demon-enhanced warriors, Daniel, Johnny, and their students must choose: will they embrace the power of the demons, or fight back and defend their world from a threat that could destroy everything they know?
