In 1984, Zabka appeared in The Karate Kid as Johnny Lawrence, the Cobra Kai fighter who loses to Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) at the end.
Attending Comic-Con is much more fun now than it used to be for William Zabka following the smash success of Cobra Kai.
Cobra Kai flipped the narrative when it premiered in 2018 by shifting Johnny Lawrence into the role of a protagonist.
Returning to Comic-Con after becoming the star of Cobra Kai, Zabka noticed that he was getting some very different reactions from fans who were now much more happy to meet him.
