However, he has now been accused of nearly drawing blood from the actress after biting her arm and leaving her screaming out in pain.
The incident is understood to have taken place during a fan convention the pair were booked to appear at, known as Summer Con in Puyallup, Washington.
According to a police report filed, actress Alicia told a police officer on-site that after tapping Martin on his shoulder to say hello, he grabbed her arm and proceeded to bite her “so hard he nearly drew blood”, reports Variety.
It goes on to state that after Alicia screamed at the pain, Martin began to kiss her arm where had bitten her.
Alicia then informed her husband who was at the event before the pair went to confront Martin.
Variety continued to state that the report went on to show how Martin was left enraged after being confronted and proceeded to say something to the effect of “how dare they confront him”.
The couple then enlisted the help of the police officer in the situation.
The report further states that Martin argued he was trying to be “funny” and insisted they play fought on the set of Cobra Kai.
Alicia went on to state to the officer that she was not pressing charges but “wished to have a report filed in case this continues”.
It is understood that Martin was instructed to leave the premises and told not to repeat such behaviour again.
The Sun has contacted a spokesperson for Martin Kove.
Alicia played the role of Kim Da-Eun, a powerful South Korean sensei. Martin played the role of John Kreese.
Kim’s character’s grandfather was the same master who taught John’s character.
