Lawrence Saint-Victor, who plays Carter Walton on the CBS sudser The Bold and the Beautiful, shared a video on his Instagram today of behind-the-scenes of what quickly became one of the most iconic fights in daytime history.

Last week, Carter was paid a visit by an angry father: Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan). As Hope Logan’s (Annika Noelle) father, Deacon was livid that Carter did the one thing he promised he would not: He broke Hope’s heart. After Deacon heard the details (or enough to satisfy him) of how Carter betrayed Hope by giving the company back to the Forresters and how he had kissed French perfumist Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire), Deacon showed up at Forrester Creations to confront his daughter’s ex-boyfriend.

Fans of The Bold and the Beautiful were stunned and delighted when Kanan channeled his inner Cobra Kai karate moves and the two men brawled in the design room of the company. The scene was instantly iconic, and the two actors were praised for their realism and authentic portrayals of their characters’ fighting.

Saint-Victor shared a video of the two of them practicing backstage, with Kanan explaining the moves. “A little behind the scenes action of the Deacon and Carter fight. I had so much fun with @sean.kanan,” he quoted.

Kanan was quick to respond, quipping, “If they had just given me the step ladder I requested the fight could have been very different.”

On the day of the episode's airing, Saint-Victor also pleased fans with photos of the fight. He’d commented, “It’s not every day you get to throw hands with the bad boy of karate himself Mike “freaking” Barnes!!!! I had so much fun shooting this with @sean.kanan Thanks for a great day, bro!!”

Mike Barnes is the character Kanan portrayed in 1989’s Karate Kid III, early in his career when he was selected out of thousands to play the role. He reprised it in the more recent television series Cobra Kai.
