Poner cera, pulir cera...

Como muchos ya sabeis el entrañable actor estadounidense Noriyuki 'Pat' Morita, de 73 años, falleció el pasado 24 de noviembre por causas naturales en su casa de Las Vegas. Conocido por todos gracias a su magnifico papel en Karate Kid, quien no se acuerda de su personaje Kesuke Miyagi, el mentor del joven Daniel-San con su tecnica de atrapas moscas con palillos y su famoso 'poner cera, pulir cera...' Desde este humilde blog queremos hacerle un merecido tributo.
