I attended last weeks Hollywood Show in Los Angeles and had a great time at their new location. The guest roster was top notch and one reunion cast that made my trip was the guys from the 1982 Bob Clark film, “Porky’s“.
The cast in attendance were Tony Ganios (Meat), Cyril O’Reilly (Tim), Mark Herrier (Billy), Scott Colomby (Brian), and of course Pee Wee himself, Dan Monahan.
Their table was busy throughout the weekend and these guys were one of the nicest, funniest, and coolest casts you could hope to meet. They spent time answering fans questions, telling them stories about the film, signing autographs, taking pictures, as well as going the extra mile with each and every person who visited their table.
Of note was Tony Ganios who played the big guy, “Meat‘ in the film. Tony was kind enough to spend some time with Movie Prop Collectors and he shared many interesting and funny stories about shooting the film. Cyril O’Reilly and Mark Herrier also stopped by to share some funny moments during filming. They all had good memories of working together on the film and to this day, are still great friends.
Tony also mentioned he and the rest of the Porky’s cast are going to be making their own original, film entitled, “DaddiesGirls“. The premise of the film sounds pretty funny and Tony mentioned they will be shooting it in 3D. Making it the first 3D teen sex comedy. While most of the funding for the film is already secured, fans will have the chance to be part of the movie by participating in a Kickstarter campaign which will launch in about 2 months.
