GOSSIP:
|
- Listed as one of twelve Promising New Actors of 1984 in John Willis' Screen World, Vol. 36.
- His career started back in the late 70s doing commercials for Bubble Yum and Dr. Pepper.
- When Joel Siegel first did a review for THE KARATE KID (1984), he pronounced his name MA-Key-O instead of Ma-chee-o. The latter pronunciation was the way Ralph Macchio pronounced his name, but the former is the proper Italian pronunciation. Siegel was called in at 4:00am the day of his review's airing to correct the pronunciation. He later expressed annoyance at being called in at 4:00am in the morning because Macchio didn't know how to pronounce his own name.
- Is a big fan of songwriter/singer Bruce Springsteen.
- Born in the same Long Island town as superstar Mariah Carey.
- Once saved a baby porpoise that was beached on the shores of Malibu. When reporters tried to cover the story, he asked to remain anonymous.
- In his movie CROSSROADS, Macchio has a final cutting-heads guitar showdown with a demonic rock guitarist, played by real life guitar hero Steve Vai. Both Macchio and Vai were born and raised on Long Island.
- Is featured in a brief cameo at the end of the No More Kings video for Sweep the Leg.
- Plays the saxophone, harmonica, and bass guitar.
- Was interested in being an actor from the age of five, when he would watch them on television, and act out the scenes for himself.
