Chad McQueen, the son of actor Steve McQueen and a star of the 1984 film "The Karate Kid," has died at the age of 63. He was found dead in his Montana home on Monday, August 29. His cause of death was not immediately disclosed.

McQueen was born in 1959 to Steve McQueen and Neile Adams. He began his acting career as a child, appearing in several films with his father, including "The Cincinatti Kid" (1965) and "Papillon" (1973).

In 1984, McQueen landed the role of Dutch in "The Karate Kid," which became a huge hit. He later reprised the role in the film's two sequels, "The Karate Kid Part II" (1986) and "The Karate Kid Part III" (1989).

After "The Karate Kid," McQueen continued to act in films and television shows, but he never achieved the same level of success. He also struggled with drug addiction and legal problems.

In recent years, McQueen had been living in Montana and working as a horse trainer. He is survived by his wife, Jeanie, and his two children.
