The enormously successful adaptation of The Karate Kid flicks by Robert Mark Kamen has earned its fair spot as one of Netflix’s best shows, and up ahead, we explain who Albert Olmstead is. Olmstead was the professional that was mentioned in a Cobra Kai season 4 tribute.
Cobra Kai is a show that was created by Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg. In the show, Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence meet again in the present day, decades after their fight at the All Valley Karate Tournament in 1984. In addition, new characters are introduced into the school.
Fourth Season Tribute of Cobra Kai
A homage that was displayed during the closing credits of Cobra Kai season 4 attracted the attention of fans almost immediately.
In the final moments of episode 7, an “In Memoriam” tribute paid honor to Albert Olmstead by mentioning his name.
An In Memoriam segment was also included at the conclusion of the pilot episode to pay honor to the late actor Ed Asner, who played Sid Weinberg, Johnny Lawrence’s stepfather.

On the Death of the Professional, the Olmstead Family
In a public statement, Olmstead’s family stated that the professional’s death was the result of a bizarre event that occurred at his home in the form of a wall unexpectedly collapsing.
The crewmember’s brother-in-law, Scott Wachtel, provided the following statement to 11 Alive regarding the tragic event: “The garage door was closed and there was a van parked right here (in front of the garage), so he couldn’t run this way (towards the garage), he couldn’t run this way (away from the garage) because the rest of the wall was collapsing over here, so he had nowhere to go.”
Wachtel proceeded by saying, “If he had gone out there five minutes earlier or five minutes later, our world would be an altogether different place right now.”
