Kove Competed on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ Last Year
Kove was one of the celebrities to compete on the most recent season of Dancing with the Stars. Unfortunately, he was the first star eliminated, along with his partner Britt Stewart. They dance the Paso Doble and the Cha-Cha before leaving the competition.
“Martin couldn’t have been more different than Johnny [Weir, her last celebrity partner], but I love that,” Stewart said in an interview. “It pushed me as a choreographer and a dance teacher to really carry the experience for him and make sure, even though [it was] short-lived, it was really rewarding, exciting, and enjoyable for him.”
Now 75 years old, Kove has been acting in film and television since 1971. He’s been a regular on Netflix’s Cobra Kai since Season 2, and his son Jesse also had a small role on the series.
