John’s first taste of nationwide fame came after he accepted a role in ABC’s sitcom TV show “Welcome Back, Kotter”, playing bad boy Vinnie Barbarino. The show aired between 1975-1979, and Johnny easily took over the hearts of many young teenage girls in America. He talked about the similarities between him and Vinnie, “Vinnie gets into a lot of problems in high school. And so did I.” John said, “I was a clown at school, but definitely not a leader like Vinnie. I was a dumb clown, not a cool clown. I was the sort of fool who’d do anything for a laugh” he added. Ellen, his older sister, also played a small role in the show, as Arnold Horshack’s mother.
