While talking about the show and how it has become a sensation, William Zabka, who plays the iconic role of Johnny Lawrence, said how surprised and blessed he felt that the show has been able to become so popular.
He even says that when the show first started on YouTube, the whole cast had no idea that they would be making a fifth season someday. They “never could’ve imagined it.”
Thomas Ian Griffith agreed with William by saying that when he first saw the three episodes of the show on YouTube, he had no idea show would become such a huge success and that he would make an appearance.
While on the subject of his appearance, Thomas said that he was really impressed and grateful to the writers for giving his character such depth and arc, which was previously undiscovered.
Finally, to conclude his interview, Ian said that to be a part of the spin-off show of Karate Kid, the movie that started his acting career was “great.”
