Let's make this birthday one to remember.

59 years old (Born on October 20, 1965)

Happy Birthday to William Zabka—sometimes the best bad guy, always our favorite Johnny Lawrence! Whether sweeping legs in "The Karate Kid" or flipping the script as an unlikely hero in "Cobra Kai," you've done it all with style—and impeccable hair, naturally.

Your transformation from 80s villain to modern-day redemption master reminds us all: it's never too late for a comeback. Thanks for showing us that even tough guys have hearts of gold...and occasionally lose battles with bonsai trees.

Wishing you a birthday filled with more joy (and fewer crane-kicks). Keep kicking life’s challenges firmly in the dojo!
