Sean Kanan "nearly died" on the set of 'Karate Kid III'. The 55-year-old actor - who starred as antagonist Mike Barnes in 'The Karate Kid Part III' and 'Cobra Kai' - suffered internal bleeding when filming a fight scene in the third instalment of the franchise and recalled the incident as the "scariest moment" of his life.

He said: "I passed out in the Dunes Casino and it turned out that the pain in my leg was internal bleeding and it was the blood dripping down on my femoral artery.

I'd been bleeding for a day and so they rushed me to the hospital. They said, 'We don't know if we can save your life - we're going to try. " The 'General Hospital' star was left "really f****** angry" when, instead of offering support and well-wishes, movie bosses warned he needed to make a quick recovery and get back to work if he wanted to keep his job.

He told MailOnline: "They obviously saved my life. And, I got a call from the studio – no flowers, no balloons – just you need to be back at work in, I think it was like, 12 days or something or we're going to recast.
