Tony Ganios, Star of ‘Porky’s,’ Dies at 64
Tony Ganios, the actor known for playing Meat in "Porky's" and Perry in "The Wanderers" has died at the age of 64.
Tony Ganios, the comedic actor known for his turn as fan-favorite Meat in Bob Clark’s “Porky’s” and as Perry in Philip Kaufman’s 1979 coming-of-age comedy-drama “ The Wanderers,” died Feb. 18 following surgery at a hospital in New York. When asked by Cult Faction in 2015 why he chose to return to acting for those brief stints, Ganios said, “It’s a strange thing. Their votes of confidence notwithstanding, I think few of my friends and fans realized how difficult it would be for me to get back into an industry where I was hardly successful in the first place.”
