Let’s hear what he has to say about his role. In a recent interview with COMPLEX CANADA, when asked about his character’s role as a bully, he said, “I never really saw him as a bully to be honest. That’s something that Billy Zabka always talks about with Johnny. He never saw Johnny as a bully and that’s something I really understood. It makes the character feel more real and livable. I sort of borrowed a page from Billy’s book and became this classic example of someone given a ton of power at once with them not really knowing what to do with it.”

Supporting the less fortunate

The actor also talks about his collaboration and support to the organization, Smile Train. Jacob expresses his feelings about the organization, “Oh man, Smile Train. I just love those guys. They’re an organization in 70 plus countries and they bring comprehensive complete care to everyone that they can. They help with before prep and they’re there for the mental strain and speech therapy afterward. They also help with meal plans. They truly empower doctors to have the tools to continue to perform surgeries. Not just with flying doctors out for a certain amount of time. They really want to make an impact in these communities while destigmatizing the cleft affected”.

Another tidbit from Hawk on Cobra Kai

Along with the kind and positive personality, he also possesses a great sense of humor. “I want fans to know that I’m taller than Johnny Lawrence from The Karate Kid, which means I’m taller than Billy Zabka. Billy stands on a box and I have to stand up with my knees bent really low around him. You can also tell him that,” says the Cobra Kai star in a hilarious manner.
