Brandon H. Lee on Kwon’s Journey & Shocking Moments in 'Cobra Kai' Season 6 Part 2

[00:00:09] Brandon, thank you all for joining me today. Hey, what's up Elias? Thanks so much for having me back. I'm excited.

[00:00:15] Exciting times, man. We got Part 2, Cobra Kai Season 6. Man, first of all, how does it feel now? You're part of Cobra Kai. We spoke, what about July? Is that what it was we spoke last time? About Part 1, around there?

[00:00:29] Yeah, around that time. Yeah, yeah.

[00:00:31] What's been the fan reaction from seeing you on Part 1 and continuing?

[00:00:36] Oh my goodness. It's been so, so welcoming and loving in every way possible. I mean, I said this probably in our last interview, but I've been a huge fan of the show. So me as a fan, it would be hard for me to be welcoming towards new characters, especially six seasons in. But, you know, the Cobra Kai fan base, it's like a giant happy family, you know, they just, they've embraced my character and the other new characters.

[00:01:06] Characters with open arms. So I'm just, I'm super grateful, man.

[00:01:09] Speaking of new characters, a few minutes ago, I spoke to Patrick, who plays Axel.

[00:01:14] Oh, really? Nice.

[00:01:15] How awesome is that guy?

[00:01:17] Dude, Patrick is amazing. You guys, you guys are in for a treat for Part 2 to see him. Yeah, he's awesome.

[00:01:24] Total difference between the character and him in real life.

[00:01:28] Mm-hmm. Yeah, exactly.

[00:01:29] Yeah.

[00:01:32] So, man, you know, Kwan's got a big reputation in this show. How did you like dive in for Part 2 with this guy for Kwan? How did you approach this character?

[00:01:43] Hmm, that's a good question. I, it was interesting because we had about a month in between shooting Episode 3 from Part 1.

[00:01:54] And then when we finally shot the episodes in Part 2.

[00:02:01] So there was a lot of like, there was this real feeling that I had of excitement that I think Kwan had too, of like, there was a whole month in between.

[00:02:11] And I still hadn't met most of the main kids cast, you know, I haven't interacted with them.

[00:02:18] Because when we were shooting Episode 3, obviously, we didn't have any scenes together.

[00:02:22] So I was super excited to like, finally meet them and stuff like that as a fan.

[00:02:27] But I think Kwan has, he's probably not a fan of them.

[00:02:30] But he has, he has a feeling of excitement to like, see these guys and see what they're all about, you know.

[00:02:36] So I feel like I channeled a lot of that real feeling into it, you know.

[00:02:41] And to be able to like, share scenes with them and share the screen with them was just surreal.

[00:02:47] But a lot of that like, excitement, I really channeled into the character too, you know.

[00:02:53] Like, I think literally like his first line coming up to them is like, oh, you're the famous Miyagi-Do.

[00:02:58] Like, you know what I mean?

[00:02:59] Like, there's a real feeling behind that too, you know.

[00:03:02] Because I'm like, whoa.

[00:03:04] I'm just like showing it in a different way where Brandon inside is like fanboying.

[00:03:08] But like, Kwan is obviously like, who the heck are these guys?

[00:03:12] Like, really?

[00:03:13] You know.

[00:03:14] So yeah, I think I kind of just channeled what was, you know, the real feelings that were there.

[00:03:21] And I guess, yeah, it was just trying to find, I feel like all characters and whatever show,

[00:03:30] especially show as big as Cobra Kai, we're all puzzle pieces, you know.

[00:03:35] So I was just trying to, you know, they already have had this foundation for six seasons.

[00:03:40] And I was trying to find my puzzle piece in here, you know.

[00:03:43] I kind of noticed that, for example, that Dimitri is kind of like, you know, he's getting a little cocky.

[00:03:50] So that's why when that first interaction, I give him a little, you know, try to make him flinch a little bit there.

[00:03:58] So just trying to find my place in the story was mainly what I was focused on, yeah.

[00:04:04] How long was, when you guys filmed part one, how long of the break was it before you jumped into part two?

[00:04:09] Do you remember?

[00:04:10] Yeah, it was about a month break for us, at least.

[00:04:13] I know they were probably shooting episode four and five, but at least for Daniel and I, Daniel Kim and I, who plays Yoon, it was about a month.

[00:04:23] Yeah.

[00:04:24] Okay.

[00:04:24] Now, did you know what was going to happen to your character in part two?

[00:04:29] Or did you read that in the month going in?

[00:04:31] So this is the funny part was while we were shooting episode three in part one, Hayden was pulling me aside and telling me the arc of the character.

[00:04:41] Because while we were shooting episode three, we only had the script for episode three.

[00:04:48] We didn't know anything.

[00:04:50] So in between shot setups, he was pulling me aside and telling me everything.

[00:04:54] And I was like, what the heck?

[00:04:56] This is the craziest thing ever.

[00:04:58] Um, so yeah, I, I found out pretty late in the, in the process, but I was, uh, very, very honored and super excited for part two.

[00:05:07] So that's why I was even more excited having that month in between.

[00:05:10] I was just training my butt off, um, you know, back in LA and just like getting ready for the, the games, the psychitek.

[00:05:19] Were you, uh, were you a little bit disappointed about what's happening to you?

[00:05:23] What's going to happen to your character?

[00:05:24] Well, spoiler alert, what happens to your character?

[00:05:27] Yeah.

[00:05:27] Yeah.

[00:05:28] I mean, huge, huge spoiler alert.

[00:05:30] Anyone listening to this right now, if you haven't watched it, go watch it before we dive into this right now.

[00:05:35] But, um, I think I, I was kind of just shocked.

[00:05:39] I was more excited than disappointed too, because the way Hayden, I mean, Hayden's hilarious.

[00:05:45] I love Hayden.

[00:05:46] Um, he's, he gets so passionate when he's like nerding out about the show.

[00:05:50] So he was like, he was telling me like, we've never killed off a character on screen, especially a kid.

[00:05:58] So this is, he was like letting me know how big of a deal this was.

[00:06:04] And it felt like even more pressure, you know, but I was just, I was just so honored to be, you know, a part of me is like, oh man, I wish I could, you know, shoot more or, you know, but like to be part of such a alone, just be a part of this show.

[00:06:20] And then on top of that, to do something historical in the show, to be, to be a part of that is just, uh, surreal.

[00:06:26] So I was more honored if anything.

[00:06:29] Um, but yeah, on the, on the last day, it was definitely mixed emotions.

[00:06:33] It was like bittersweet.

[00:06:34] I was like super excited, but also like, oh dang, I got to leave these guys.

[00:06:40] How emotional is that scene?

[00:06:41] You know, we see you, you get stabbed by accident.

[00:06:45] Was it by accident?

[00:06:46] Would you say a little, it was a little bit of both because of the big brawl.

[00:06:48] Tell us about that scene when you're, you're on the ground, but then Ralph is standing right over you.

[00:06:54] Yeah, that was, that whole day was like a blur.

[00:06:58] What was, what was crazy about that whole brawl?

[00:07:00] And I don't think people will believe it when I say it, but I would say 90% of the fighting was done within, within the last day of shooting.

[00:07:10] I was completely convinced because we had about a week to shoot all of that.

[00:07:15] I was completely convinced that I was going to stay in Atlanta for another week.

[00:07:18] Because there was no way we were going to finish everything.

[00:07:20] So we were just done and going as fast as we can.

[00:07:23] But that last day when we shot all of that and the ending, it was like, there was some magic in the air.

[00:07:31] Everyone was perfectly in sync, cast and crew down.

[00:07:36] And I just remember thinking like, oh crap, we're, we're, we're actually here.

[00:07:41] Like, I didn't think we were going to be there, but I was like, oh, we're, we're here at this moment, you know?

[00:07:46] And so that was, man, we had to combine like five different shots for that.

[00:07:51] It was like, um, we combined, you know, Quan hitting that camera.

[00:07:56] And then picking up the knife and then screaming and then getting bumped in by you and then doing the fight bit and then doing, and then falling on the knife and then Ralph coming in and turning him over.

[00:08:06] Um, but we did have to pause afterwards, um, to do all the, the blood effects.

[00:08:13] And, um, that was just, that was super surreal.

[00:08:16] Cause it was like, it was, they take it, they take it very seriously, you know, when they have like a, even prop knives on set, you know?

[00:08:23] And, um, it was a very big moment.

[00:08:25] So it's like a hundred people over a hundred people in there, just all in a circle around me.

[00:08:32] And, um, I just remember like having the time of my life, you know, just like, cause I didn't realize like how real everything looked.

[00:08:42] Cause I have the effects on me.

[00:08:44] And then I just remember a lot feeling like a lot of people were looking at me and like, oh, like looking sad in real life.

[00:08:51] And I was like, what?

[00:08:52] And then I looked at photos later and I was like, Ooh, yeah, I got a knife in me.

[00:08:57] I got blood everywhere.

[00:08:59] Um, but yeah, it was, uh, that, that whole day on set was extremely magical.

[00:09:06] And I don't think I'll remember it for the rest of my life.

[00:09:11] How intense was that brawl?

[00:09:12] Because, uh, like Patrick told me it was, you guys filmed it for about two days.

[00:09:15] He told me.

[00:09:16] Yeah.

[00:09:16] Yeah.

[00:09:17] That's a lot, man.

[00:09:18] Yeah.

[00:09:19] Like people were, I feel like when people watch that sequence, they're going to think we had months for that.

[00:09:23] And the fact that we did that in two days, I still don't believe.

[00:09:27] That was just, like I said, it was like, everyone was in sync and we just, I mean, huge shout out to the, to the stunt team, Don Lee and Ken Barefield and Tony Chung.

[00:09:37] Cause, um, cause, um, they, they really like, because it was so action heavy.

[00:09:42] They really guided us down the right path.

[00:09:45] And, um, and, and also Sherwin, our director, but, and everyone there, honestly, just, it was just, everyone, um, was in sync.

[00:09:53] So it was, it was crazy.

[00:09:55] I don't know how we did it, but we did it.

[00:09:56] Right.

[00:09:57] What do you, what do you think is motivating Juan in the tournament for part two?

[00:10:03] Um, I think a lot of things, I think in the beginning, he feels like he's finally in the position that he deserves.

[00:10:11] You know, I think you, you, we see in part one that he's not the alpha, he's not the leader, but he always feels like he should be the leader.

[00:10:19] He feels like he's the best.

[00:10:21] So he, I think he's just super excited going into the tournament.

[00:10:26] Like now I can show everyone in the world, not even in just in my Tojang, but everyone in the world that I'm the best, you know?

[00:10:33] And, um, you know, he found out very quickly that it's not as easy as he thinks it's going to be.

[00:10:39] Um, so I think, I mean, at least for me, what I was taking into account when, um,

[00:10:47] just to justify all of the madness that leads up to episode 10, you know, when he, when Cobra Kai gets knocked out of the tournament, you know, in episode nine,

[00:10:56] I just remember thinking when he fights Diego and it's like a, it's a second chance, you know, I was thinking as Quan, okay, I'm not going to get emotional.

[00:11:06] I'm just going to get straight to the point.

[00:11:08] I'm going to be a killer.

[00:11:09] So I don't, I don't know.

[00:11:11] I haven't seen it yet, but as we're recording this, I still haven't watched the episodes, but.

[00:11:16] But at least for my portrayal, I was trying to go for a much more like stone cold, emotionless while he's in the ring.

[00:11:24] Like he wasn't as vocal, just like, I'm going to just destroy this guy and not let myself like, um, get too angry.

[00:11:32] Um, but then, you know, obviously during the brawl, you know, it's like, what the heck?

[00:11:38] I'm getting my butt whooped by Robbie one V two.

[00:11:41] Like this doesn't make any sense.

[00:11:42] So it, I kind of use that feeling to my advantage of like, what the heck?

[00:11:48] Like, I feel like I'm the strongest one here, but why am I losing?

[00:11:52] Like, there's no way I should be losing, you know?

[00:11:54] And so he's just getting more and more mad.

[00:11:56] And then you see the lengths that he goes through.

[00:11:58] Yeah.

[00:11:59] And everybody, and everybody's expecting to see like Quan versus Robbie or Miguel in the finals of this tournament.

[00:12:05] Yeah.

[00:12:06] Yeah, exactly.

[00:12:08] Who knows what we're going to see now.

[00:12:09] Yeah.

[00:12:10] That's why I think the creators do, and the writing team just do such an amazing job with the show is the moment you expect one thing's going to happen.

[00:12:18] They go, nope, curveball.

[00:12:20] It's going something else, you know?

[00:12:21] So, cause you know, Quan won in the semifinal, he's going to the finals and then now it's Robbie versus Axel.

[00:12:27] So you're expecting like something, you know, one of the two and then it's like, oh, nevermind.

[00:12:34] Also with, uh, I like the mind games that Quan's playing with Robbie part two.

[00:12:38] Yes.

[00:12:39] Yes.

[00:12:39] Those are, oh my God.

[00:12:41] That, I remember that those specifically too, when Hayden told me like what Quan was going to do to try to ruin his relationship with Tori.

[00:12:50] I was just so excited to do that because as a fan of the show, I love that Tori and Robbie are together.

[00:12:56] So like the fact that I get to go in there and try to mess it up, it's just like, oh, this is going to be so much fun.

[00:13:03] Yeah.

[00:13:03] How would you describe the Quan and, uh, Tori relationship?

[00:13:08] Um, I, I think from Quan's point of view, I'll speak on Quan's behalf.

[00:13:15] I don't really know too much.

[00:13:17] I actually didn't speak to Peyton too much about what her thoughts were towards Quan's character.

[00:13:23] But I think that, I guess if they're kind of both on the same page where it's like a, it's almost like a business transaction.

[00:13:30] Like it's like, we're here to just win.

[00:13:33] Like, I don't care about you as a person.

[00:13:34] I don't care.

[00:13:35] Like, that's why I think Quan's very judgmental.

[00:13:37] He doesn't think that she even deserves to be the, like a captain.

[00:13:42] So, you know, that's why he's not very welcoming towards her in the beginning.

[00:13:46] Um, and he's just like, okay, these are the cards I'm dealt.

[00:13:51] Just don't, don't suck.

[00:13:52] All right.

[00:13:53] Listen to me.

[00:13:54] Don't suck.

[00:13:54] Don't lose.

[00:13:55] So we can win this, you know?

[00:13:57] Um, so I, I think he honestly just sees her as a tool, you know?

[00:14:01] And then he sees that, oh, he's with Robbie.

[00:14:04] She's with Robbie.

[00:14:05] Okay.

[00:14:05] Maybe I can get, use this to my advantage, you know, use anything, any tool.

[00:14:10] I think that's what he probably learns from crease is like, I can use, I got to use anything,

[00:14:16] any edge that I have to win at all costs, you know?

[00:14:19] So he's using that tool, using Tori to try to, you know, get in Robbie's head.

[00:14:24] I think.

[00:14:25] Yeah.

[00:14:25] Right.

[00:14:26] Between the fighting and the tournament and the brawl, it was there anybody specific that

[00:14:30] you enjoyed having these fights with or somebody that missed an opportunity to have a fight

[00:14:35] scene with this time around.

[00:14:37] Ooh, I think all of them for sure.

[00:14:40] But, um, definitely.

[00:14:43] Cause I mean, it's the rivalry that we see in part two, Robbie, you know, Tanner, Tanner

[00:14:48] and I, from day one, we both like felt like, Ooh, this, the moment we rehearsed the fight

[00:14:55] together, um, at the stunt dojo, we were both like, Ooh, we got something special here.

[00:15:01] We just, it felt like a hand on a glove.

[00:15:04] Like we just, we flowed together perfectly.

[00:15:07] We were bouncing ideas off each other and how we want to, you know, portray the fight scenes.

[00:15:12] And, uh, I, I think, yeah, that was just so, so, so much fun.

[00:15:17] And Tanner even said himself, you know, he said it publicly that his, all of his favorite

[00:15:21] fights are, you know, part two.

[00:15:24] And like, uh, you know, when I saw that he, he, he teased that I was like, all of those

[00:15:30] fights are with me.

[00:15:31] You know what I mean?

[00:15:32] So I'm like, I was like, Oh, okay.

[00:15:34] The feeling was mutual and, uh, how, how much we had, how much fun we had fighting each

[00:15:38] other.

[00:15:39] Um, but yeah, that Tanner specifically, I think he was always from the beginning to just,

[00:15:46] um, just extremely welcoming towards me and always let me know, Hey, any questions you

[00:15:52] have, I'm here.

[00:15:53] Here's my phone number.

[00:15:54] Like anytime you want to hang out outside of, you know, work or whatever, um, anything you

[00:16:00] need, I'm right here.

[00:16:00] So he, he definitely is a very, very dedicated to his craft, but even better person.

[00:16:07] Yeah.

[00:16:08] What's your thoughts on the, the iron dragons?

[00:16:12] Oh man.

[00:16:13] The iron dragons as a fan.

[00:16:15] I think they're sick.

[00:16:17] You know, they're, Ooh, Patrick and Zara and Lewis.

[00:16:21] They're, they're so good.

[00:16:23] Um, I actually, Patrick was the first time I met, I didn't know of him.

[00:16:29] Um, but he was absolutely amazing.

[00:16:33] Um, such a nice dude and just dedicated to his craft.

[00:16:37] I mean, he had a lot of weight on his shoulders, you know, I know maybe he speaks about it,

[00:16:41] but he didn't have any martial arts experience.

[00:16:43] Right.

[00:16:43] Yeah.

[00:16:43] And so for him to have to come in and be like the biggest, the strongest threat, it, you know,

[00:16:50] there's a lot of pressure in that, you know, and he didn't have much time to train.

[00:16:52] He didn't have like any time.

[00:16:53] He told me that.

[00:16:54] Yeah.

[00:16:55] But he was always training, you know, outside of, outside of, uh, work as much as he could.

[00:17:00] He, um, I even remember like, we both saw each other in the gym outside of work and he

[00:17:06] would like, you know, he knows that I'm a lifelong martial artist.

[00:17:09] So he would ask me for help, you know, Hey, I'm working on this kid.

[00:17:12] Can you help me?

[00:17:13] And I was just like, this dude's so dedicated, you know?

[00:17:16] Um, and Raina, I knew of from the martial arts world.

[00:17:19] We both knew of each other, um, but we never met each other.

[00:17:23] So it was like really cool to like work with her and like us both like bonding over the

[00:17:28] fact that we came from the martial arts world and we're wanting to break into this business.

[00:17:32] And this is kind of like our first, you know, both of our first big roles and to be on a

[00:17:37] show like Cobra Kai is just like absolutely surreal.

[00:17:41] And then, um, yeah, Louis, um, Louis and I actually both had, um, a mutual former mentor

[00:17:50] named Andy Chang, who he's a member of the Jackie Chan stunt team.

[00:17:55] He was in all of the rush hour Shanghai noon movies with Jackie or stunt team member.

[00:18:01] And, um, Louis worked with him back in, um, back on into the badlands.

[00:18:07] And, uh, I remember when I made the commitment to go into acting, cause I was doing, I was

[00:18:14] doing a movie called nights at a Zodiac with Andy Chang.

[00:18:17] Um, he was action directing it.

[00:18:20] And he told me, he's like, if you want to act, you need to quit stunts and go all in, put

[00:18:25] all your cards on one hand, you know?

[00:18:27] And he was like, look at Louis.

[00:18:28] See, look at his career.

[00:18:29] He did mortal combat before.

[00:18:31] So he kind of always used Lewis as like, uh, as a role model for me.

[00:18:35] He's like, if he can do it, you can do it too.

[00:18:37] And so it was crazy full circle to be able to work with Louis.

[00:18:41] You know, I just remember all of a sudden seeing him on the call sheet and then we're

[00:18:45] in the van together going to set.

[00:18:47] And I was like, what the heck?

[00:18:48] Louis, that's you.

[00:18:49] And so it was really cool.

[00:18:51] Um, he, he definitely gave me a lot of, um, good career advice and stuff.

[00:18:57] So very, very, very, very, very talented actor and martial artist.

[00:19:02] Um, but yeah, all of them, the iron dragons are bad-ass.

[00:19:04] I thought that we were bad-ass.

[00:19:05] Those guys take it to a new level.

[00:19:07] What do you think we'll have a spinoff of the, uh, iron dragons?

[00:19:10] That would be sick.

[00:19:11] That would be super cool.

[00:19:13] I'd be down for it.

[00:19:14] Yeah.

[00:19:14] That'd be cool.

[00:19:15] Uh, what do you think, uh, what kind of legacy is Quan going to leave behind now?

[00:19:19] You think in the universe of Cobra Kai, Karate Kid?

[00:19:23] Oh man.

[00:19:25] I, I think that would have to be up to the fans, but I think to me, what was interesting

[00:19:31] is he, he reminded me a lot of like, almost like that young Kobe Bryant or like that Tupac

[00:19:41] energy or like Bruce Lee, like, it's kind of like, uh, you know, they died young, but

[00:19:47] they were like, oh, they were just had this untamed wolf energy.

[00:19:51] You know, um, I remember I listened to a lot of Tupac in my trailer leading up to it because

[00:19:59] he just has so much anger and just wants to prove himself, you know?

[00:20:02] Um, and you know, they, they, they went out young.

[00:20:06] And I think, uh, maybe in this world, like, because he went out so early, you know, but

[00:20:13] he, I, I, I would hope that Quan made his presence very, um, clear.

[00:20:19] Um, I think what the fans love to do when they're like, Ooh, this person versus this person, like

[00:20:25] they're going to forever kind of trying to play that, you know, um, that game of like

[00:20:31] whatever characters they, you know, if they keep doing spinoffs of Cobra Kai later, they

[00:20:35] might throw Quan's name in there and be like, yeah, this guy would versus Quan.

[00:20:39] What's that going to happen?

[00:20:40] How would that match up?

[00:20:41] But, um, yeah, I would hope that I think that for him, it, it just brings a lot of what

[00:20:50] ifs, you know, what ifs, you know, like what if he found the right mentor?

[00:20:55] What if he, uh, interacted with chosen, you know, and maybe chosen to put him down the right

[00:21:00] path.

[00:21:01] It's just kind of like, it's almost sad in that sense, even though he's such a bad

[00:21:05] character.

[00:21:06] Right.

[00:21:07] I think like, because we've seen in this show so many characters that have had such

[00:21:11] a big arc, you know, and, um, we've seen them go from bad to good, to good, to bad.

[00:21:18] It's like kind of a little bit, dang, what if he had the right mentor, but it was too late,

[00:21:23] you know?

[00:21:24] So it's kind of like, you know, tomorrow's never guaranteed.

[00:21:27] Um, but yeah.

[00:21:29] Yeah.

[00:21:29] You mentioned the fans and, you know, I said this before we jumped on interview, they're

[00:21:32] going to be very bad when they find out what happens to quad.

[00:21:37] Uh, oh man.

[00:21:39] I, I, I'm really curious to what the response will be like.

[00:21:43] I wonder if it, it'll probably be a lot of rage.

[00:21:47] I hope nobody cries, um, but we'll, we'll see.

[00:21:52] I mean, I, I, I'm, I'm really excited to see what the reaction will be.

[00:21:58] My reaction was I paused it.

[00:21:59] I looked at my wife and I was like, what just happened here?

[00:22:02] That's what it was.

[00:22:03] It was like, what just happened here?

[00:22:05] Yeah.

[00:22:06] Yeah.

[00:22:06] I think what I love is that, you know, they, you know, they cut to the, they always cut

[00:22:13] to like, uh, back at the Lurisa house, they're watching it too, you know?

[00:22:17] And like you literally saying your reaction of like, what just happened?

[00:22:20] Like they have that same reaction as well.

[00:22:23] So I love that they explore that because it's like, they're watching it on TV and they're having

[00:22:30] the same emotions as the viewer, the viewers that are actually watching the show, you know,

[00:22:34] they're like, what the heck?

[00:22:36] Like no way.

[00:22:38] Um, and I thought it was really cool that they, in the trailer, they put that little Easter

[00:22:42] egg in there.

[00:22:43] I don't know if you noticed at the end of the trailer, they got like the TV turning off

[00:22:48] kind of effect.

[00:22:49] And I was like, oh my gosh, you're foreshadowing it.

[00:22:52] You know, it's crazy.

[00:22:54] Yeah.

[00:22:55] Uh, did you take, did you take anything from the set to remember this?

[00:22:59] Do you have the knife?

[00:23:00] Maybe you got the knife that I don't know about.

[00:23:04] I, all I will say is that, um, some veterans, I won't name any specific names because I

[00:23:12] don't want to get them in trouble, but some, some veterans from the original cast helped

[00:23:18] me do some snooping and got some props.

[00:23:21] Nice.

[00:23:22] Um, that I'm extremely grateful for.

[00:23:25] Cause I was too scared to take them myself, but they, they went out of their way to, to

[00:23:31] help me.

[00:23:32] And I was like, oh, if they're doing it, then it's fine.

[00:23:35] Right.

[00:23:35] Cause you know, they're the regulars.

[00:23:37] So no, I'm really grateful.

[00:23:39] I do have some stuff that, uh, I definitely will, will cherish and frame.

[00:23:45] That's awesome.

[00:23:47] Uh, Brandon, what's next for you?

[00:23:48] Anything new coming out that you could tell us about, or you're about to go work on what's

[00:23:52] happening?

[00:23:52] Um, in terms of what I can say publicly, um, I don't think there's too much I can say.

[00:24:00] I'm just working on a lot of personal projects and stuff that I can't talk about here and

[00:24:05] there.

[00:24:07] Um, but yeah, definitely.

[00:24:09] I, I just, for me personally, I just want to continue to ride this wave, you know, hopefully

[00:24:14] go to some cons and meet some, some fans and, um, you know, um, continue to grow as much

[00:24:22] as I can as a, as an actor and as an artist.

[00:24:25] Um, I think a big takeaway for me from this show was for a long time, I was trying to push

[00:24:33] martial arts away from me cause I was trying so hard to, you know, market myself as an

[00:24:38] actor, but Cobra Kai has taught me to embrace that part of me.

[00:24:41] And so I definitely, I, I still want to explore all genres, but I definitely, you know, while

[00:24:47] I'm young, I want to take advantage of my athletic prime and see what I can do in the

[00:24:52] action world.

[00:24:53] Um, so I'm definitely motivated to do that.

[00:24:56] Um, but yeah, pretty much just trying to get better as a, as an artist and as, and as

[00:25:02] a person and, um, interact with this awesome Cobra Kai world as much as I can as well.

[00:25:08] Speaking of interaction, uh, well, let's end this by a social media handle.

[00:25:11] I, you know, you're going to get blown up with DMS when they, when, like I said, when

[00:25:14] they find out, when they see it, they're going to get mad at you.

[00:25:18] Oh man.

[00:25:19] Yeah.

[00:25:20] Let's see.

[00:25:21] I mean, it wasn't, it wasn't my decision, you know?

[00:25:25] Um, yeah, my social media handles, um, I'm Brandon H Lee underscore official on Instagram

[00:25:33] and Tik TOK.

[00:25:34] I also have a YouTube channel, um, named Brandon H Lee.

[00:25:38] I also post a lot of comedy sketches on there.

[00:25:41] I do a lot of my own indie, um, projects.

[00:25:44] So if anyone, it's very different from Cobra Kai.

[00:25:47] Um, but if anyone's interested in seeing more, more content like that, um, I do a lot

[00:25:52] of comedy sketches on there.

[00:25:54] So feel free to check me out there on there, but yeah, that's pretty much it for social

[00:25:59] media handles.

[00:26:00] Yeah.

[00:26:01] Amazing.

[00:26:01] Brandon, thank you.

[00:26:02] Uh, for giving a few minutes today, let's get you back on for future projects.

[00:26:05] Of course.

[00:26:06] Thank you so much.

[00:26:07] Thank you so much for having me on.

[00:26:08] I had a blast.
