Tony Ganios, known for his role in Porky's, passed away at 64 due to a heart attack after undergoing surgery.

We are saddened to announce that Tony Ganios, a beloved actor, has passed away at the age of 64. According to reports, he suffered a heart attack after undergoing surgery. His career began in 1979 when he made his film debut in the coming-of-age comedy-drama The Wanderers, directed by Philip Kaufman. He then went on to play the iconic role of Anthony 'Meat' Tuperello in the 1980s Porky's sex comedy franchise.

Tony passed away on Sunday while recovering from surgery at a hospital in New York. His fiancée, Amanda Serrano-Ganios, took to social media to share the heartbreaking news with his fans and followers. It was revealed that Tony had been admitted to the hospital on Saturday due to a severe spinal cord infection. Despite undergoing surgery, he suffered a fatal heart attack while on his way for dialysis treatment.

Amanda expressed her shock and devastation over the sudden loss of her partner. The couple had been together for nine years and were in the midst of planning their wedding when tragedy struck. Tony's passing has left Amanda shattered and our hearts go out to her during this difficult time.

After his successful roles in The Wanderers and Porky's, Tony went on to have a recurring role as a mob lawyer in the crime series Wiseguy from 1987 until 1990. He also appeared in other notable projects such as Continental Divide, alongside John Belushi, and had guest appearances in popular 80s TV shows like Scarecrow and Mrs. King and The Equalizer.

In 1990, Tony had a memorable role in the action-packed film Die Hard 2, where he played a killer who met his demise in a gruesome fashion. His character was stabbed in the eye with an icicle by Bruce Willis' iconic character, John McClane. However, it was his role in Porky's that remains his most well-known and loved by fans. The film, which followed a group of high school boys on a quest to lose their virginity in 1950s-era Florida, may have been heavily criticized by critics, but it went on to become the fifth highest-grossing movie of 1982 and spawned two sequels.

Tony Ganios will always be remembered for his talent, charm, and unforgettable performances on screen. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and fans as we mourn the loss of a talented actor. Rest in peace, Tony, and may your legacy live on through your work.
