Griffin Santopietro, of West Hartford plays Anthony “Antonio” LaRusso on Netflix’ “Cobra Kai.”
A phone interview with Griffin Santopietro, 14, began with this reporter falling for a trick voicemail message: “Hello! [long pause] I’m just kidding. I’m not here right now.”
It’s a typical teenage prank by a teenager from West Hartford with a not-so-typical day job.
Santopietro stars in “Cobra Kai,” a Netflix series based on the “Karate Kid” movie franchise from the 1980s that premieres its third season Jan. 8. He also appeared in a Netflix movie called “The Week Of” starring Adam Sandler and Chris Rock.
