William Michael "Billy" Zabka (born October 20, 1965) is an American actor, screenwriter, director and producer. Zabka is best known for his villain roles in several iconic 80s films, such as his role as Johnny Lawrence in 1984's The Karate Kid. In 2004, he was nominated for an Academy Award for co-writing and producing the film Most.
Zabka was born in New York City to Stanley and Nancy Zabka. His father, who was assistant director of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson during the first two years of Carson's tenure, has worked as production manager on a number of motion pictures, including the Chuck Norris vehicle Forced Vengeance. Zabka grew up with two siblings.
Zabka's breakout role came in his first movie, 1984's The Karate Kid. He played Johnny Lawrence, the main antagonist to the title character played by Ralph Macchio. He had no previous martial arts experience at the time but was an accomplished wrestler. His participation in the film inspired him to learn the martial art of Tang Soo Do and later earning a second green belt.

A huge thanks to Phil Blankenship for organizing this amazing event! www.heavymidnites.com (There are two quick edits during the last 10 minutes of the video due to my recording devices running out of memory. There is only about 10 seconds of discussion missing where those edits occur.)
Short film about loss, despair, and retribution.
Barney gives Ted's Best Man duties to The Karate Kid's William Zabka over the incident at the carousel, and Lily gives Robin a lousy bridal party.
The Karate Kid (not that newer Kung Fu movie with Smith and Chan), is a seminal film; the main actors meet again on stage over 30 years later. I was very entertained, but, like Barney Stinson, I am a Zabka fan... Also, I went up to Zabka after this, and got a fist bump for being awesome for telling him he is awesome...
