I swear, I get more TV news from
Twitter these days than nearly anywhere else. To wit: I just found out a brand new piece of
Ugly Betty casting news from one of the stars himself. Ralph Macchio, the erstwhile
Karate Kid, who joined
Betty at the beginning of last season, will be reprising his role in season 4.
He tweeted: "
4 all inquiring about Ugly Betty. Just got official call that Archie will b back in Season 4. 4 how much, how long and when. Don't know yet."Continue reading Ralph Macchio to return to Ugly Betty

Here's an interesting piece of trivia from
this
weekend's story about Neil Patrick Harris in
The New York Times. If he hadn't said yes to the role of
Barney on
How I Met Your Mother, the role would have been offered to Ralph Macchio.
Hmmm ...it's
easy to sit here and say, oh, it's good Harris got it, but who knows? Maybe Macchio would have been great in the role
too and would have served as sort of a resurgence for his acting career.
With all the
"Barneyisms," maybe the writers could have thrown in a funny "Wax on, wax off" reference.

Remember Ralph Macchio, star of The Karate Kid and My Cousin Vinny? He's signed a deal with N, the teen network I've never seen (the nighttime version of Noggin, which I've also never seen) to develop TV shows. He won't star in the shows, which is good because you don't want someone older trying to pass themselves off as a teen, though it never hurt Beverly Hills, 90210.
He's also working on a TV show called The Ralph Show.
