The Bold and the Beautiful’s Sean Kanan (Deacon) has been an actor for many, many years having landed his first gig back in 1987 with a role on the television series Werewolf. A few years later, he was cast in the feature film The Karate Kid Part III as Mike Barnes and from there, well, let’s just say he’s had a lot of success. So, what had the popular CBS soap actor shouting from the rooftops, “I’ve arrived Hollywood, ya hear me!”?
X user Ebraheem shared a GIF featuring Kanan’s character, Mike Barnes, from the Netflix series Cobra Kai, announcing, “It’s go time,” and it got quite the reaction out of the star. “I need this GIF!” Kanan stated. “I’ve arrived Hollywood, ya hear me! I’ve finally got a GIF.”

Another user, John Bowersox, took to the comments beneath the post to share another GIF of Kanan — a throwback with Barnes and Ralph Macchio’s Daniel from The Karate Kid Part III.

So, while we’ve known the actor for his many years playing Deacon on both Bold & Beautiful and The Young and the Restless, as well as his run as Jude on Sunset Beach, Kanan has over 70 credits to his name and spent three years playing Sam on Studio City, where he won a Daytime Emmy Award in 2021.
