Now, HERE'S an actor who is long overdue for a serious comeback.

One of my favorite actors from the eighties was a fellow who was always being portrayed as kind of an asshole. In 1984, he made life a living hell for Ralph Macchio in The Karate Kid. He then caused a ruckus in a film that wasn't quite as big of a hit, 1985's Just One Of The Guys. It was pretty much a high school based knock-off of the 1982 smash hit Tootsie, starring Bill Murray and Dustin Hoffman. He then went on to be kind of a dick in the Rodney Dangerfield starrer, Back To School.

Of course, I'm referring to the Czechoslovakian dynamo known as William "Billy" Zabka.

He's done some work in a handful of little known B-movies over the years since then, but here's a short film / music video, directed by Mr. Zabka himself. The song is by a band who call themselves No More Kings, with whom I am not particularly familiar. To be honest, hearing their style of music doesn't quite provoke me to run right out and buy their CD. However, I do have to admit that I give them mad props for writing this song and participating in this project.

That's some dynamite shit, if you ask me.

And here he is now.

Is it just me, or does he look as though he could be the next Robert Redford?

William "Billy" Zabka's comeback. In a word: Imminent.
