Thomas Ian Griffith was really on the fence about going back to the same character. And had reservations, but the creators [Jon Hurwitz, Josh Heald and Hayden Schlossberg] had mapped out a path for his character. They answered all the questions he had for them, like, "Why was he the way he was? What makes him tick? What has he been doing these past 30 years?" That was all part of their explanation and so appealing. Also, they were all in on the joke of a billionaire then and now walking away from his world to go back into the karate world in the San Fernando Valley. He is a super-smart guy, Terry Silver. And he has tried to build a life with all the beautiful distractions; the music, all the great art in his house by the water. He is trying to keep that inner demon in control -- and then Kreese (Martin Kove) comes back and brings it out of him. Then, it is all-consuming again. Griffith stated: "You may hate Terry, but you want to watch him because I think there are sprinkles of truth in his madness. And I think that is why people enjoy him on a visceral level."
