Sean Kanan is known largely for playing Mike Barnes within The Karate Kid universe or Deacon Sharpe in The Bold and the Beautiful. The actor has been on the daytime soap since 2000 and fans of B&b will know how Deacon struggled with alcohol issues. Now Kanan is opening up about his own booze battle in a sitdown interview with People alongside his wife Michele. The 58-year-old actor spoke to the outlet about his fight to stay sober after quitting drinking almost five years ago. “I had been trying for a very long time to get sober, and I had intermittent periods of success followed by fairly catastrophic setbacks, let’s say,” he admits.
