William Zabka undoubtedly...


The surprise star of the show !!!

Hope the offers fly in for him !

He was intended to be the star of the show. I don't think anyone was surprised.

I, too, hope he gets more good roles after this show is done.

reply

Truth!!

I honestly don't think this guy was on anybody's radar before this show aired. Now look at all the attention he gets. Looking forward to seeing him in more stuff!

Well, he's brilliant, believable, relatable actor with sublime on-screen charisma and screen presence that I would love to experience more of. He charmed the pants off the audience.

He can create emotions and make you understand -exactly- what Johnny is experiencing, with detailed subtlety, without even saying a word, with a facial expression alone. You know what Johnny is going through every second of the time because of his brilliance. Respect.

I think what's really impressive...is how he was able to step back into the character of Johnny, 35 years later, and inhabit it in a way where it doesn't seem like a completely different person. It still feels like Johnny...but older, and with the baggage and nuances of adulthood layered on. Plus, he's able to pull off being a likable badguy. Not always easy...but he definitely has an "It Factor".
