A friend insists that Danza went to a lot of the bars in NY in the mid 1970s during his boxing years but stopped when he became famous with "Taxi".

My buddy said he was very gay positive and even though he identified as bi he leaned more gay than bi so much so that he divorced his wife and started dating men exclusively.

As for details, he said Danza had a little above average uncut dick but it was really thick and larger than average balls and a really hairy ass and crack.

Loved receiving oral but did not like to reciprocate, and always asked to be rimmed. Loved kissing and was a voracious bottom usually going 2 or 3 times a night.

When he was discovered and cast in "Taxi" he became a bit more closeted and stopped going to bars and by the eighties pretty much cut off all ties with his old friends and the gay community.

A male friend of a friend supposedly had a fling with Danza in the late 90s. According to the story, they met at the gym (Gold's, I believe) in LA.

"Loved kissing and was a voracious bottom usually going 2 or 3 times a night."

Which I assume gave him the edge when he auditioned later for "Who's The Bossy?"

"Was" bi?

Like it goes away?

I always heard he was at least bi. Two marriages, two kids, apparently close to the kids, is a grandfather…

And in case anyone wonder why remember him as he was even if we like him as a daddy, here.

I don't think anyone has ever imagined that he would be totally straight.

Bi? Not a chance. Not even versatile.

Something Old

[quote]"Gay porn magazine "Dude" has the most innnnnnteresting article in the June 1998 issue. Douglas Jerrybill, author of the "Dude Dish" column, has outed actor Tony Danza and linked him to Ken Ryker! Writes Jerrybill, "When Hollywood's biggest gay pimp was busted on tax evasion charges last year, investigators going through his records were surprised to find actor Tony Danza's name on the lengthy client list.

[quote][...] According to the pimp's records (he accepted both Visa and MasterCard, but not American Express), Danza's favorite treat was mega-hung porn star Ken Ryker, who earned over $6,000 a week servicing Danza and others. Most insiders agree that the several-times-married

[quote]Danza probably preferred paying for sex because it was easier than coming out of the closet and admitting that he's bisexual (or even totally gay like his twin brother)."

I wonder if we've had any of the same men.

I'd heard that he was actually a hustler at the Cowboys & Cowgirls bar on Second Ave around 1973.

I had no idea he had a gay twin brother.

Sometimes men who began as hustlers and go on to great success will later in their life hire a rent boy.

It's called playing it forward.

Lou Christie and Tony are Great friends, Lou was at his opening, Saw a picture of the two of them talking with there hands, very Italian !

More like Lou was ON his opening.

Tony Danza has a gay twin brother?! And Tony's bi leaning toward gay?! A whole new glorious panorama of jack off fantasies beckons!

I MUST know the twin's name for moaning purposes....

He used to meke me crazy horny when I watched Taxi. His tight tees made me mad horny!

He would have to be bi. Republicans are never really completely homosexual, didn't you know?

Did Danny Pinaturo ever do him?

I always heard he was just gay friendly...as in..go ahead and blow me. Your gay. I'm not.

I have a friend who had an affair with Tony in the 80's...yes he is gay...not bi. My friend is VERY wealthy and has a big cock. That gurl is a Bot -TOMMMMM.

I remember R6's old gossip when it was hot new gossip.

Ken Ryker would have been the worst escort in the world. It was before Viagra when he was supposed to have been escorting, and he had so much trouble getting that monster whang hard.

[quote]Tony Danza has a gay twin brother?!

Hey sometimes it happens!

Would love to see Tony's Italian bubble butt ass sliding up and down Ken Ryker's monster cock while he moans and repeats 'aww fuck yerr man, fuck me with your huge cawwwk' over and over again in his rough Brookyln accent. Fuck i'm hard.

Tony was hot back then! Those men who got to be with him were lucky!

He has a porn star look a like - David Morris. He also did gay porn occasionally.

Here's the Tony look-a-like (not as hot but still good for the imagination)

I guess he kind of looks like Tony Danza.

R24, are you saying Tony Danza did gay porn? Which ones?

Didn't Ken send him to the hospital with a shredded hole?

Randall Carver left Taxi after the first season because Tony kept hitting on him.

[quote]Didn't Ken send him to the hospital with a shredded hole?

That's only a rumor, it's never been confirmed.

Well how do you think that little kid from Who is the boss wound up gay? Danza probably molested him.

That's not so, in fact Danza hated working with that kid who played Jonathan so much, he brought on a "new young male" to replace him.

I don't know if Danza is bi or secretly gay but I do remember when slammed Ellen DeGeneres and Anne Heche.

This was when Clinton was still in office. Danza (a Republican) and his wife and DeGeneres and Heche were at some kind of White House party/reception thingy.

Danza complained to a reported that DeGeneres and Heche were all over each other the entire time, even when they were talking with President Clinton. Just basically openly kissing, cuddling and slobbering on other.

The reporter replied that DeGeneres and Heche were a couple who are in love and were showing affection to each other.

Danza replied, "So? I was there with my wife. My wife and I love each other and we didn't stand there making out in front of the President."

I got the feeling Danza thought that DeGeneres felt she some special right to act that way because of her gay-ness. (This was DeGeneres had her big, ratings and fame-generating "coming out" episode.)

When asked to respond to Danza's comments DeGeneres' publicist said, "Ellen is really feeling attacked from all sides right now." (Oh sweet victimhood!!)

I kind of thought Danza had a point.

While the show was on, there was a tabloid story about Tony wanting to fire Danny. He felt that he was too effeminate.

The Datalounge says he's bi and I'm sure I believe it.

Sorry, no.

Major p*ssyhound, loves blond chicks, is very forward with women, very well-hung.

R35, Ellen never "made out" in front of the president, you dumbass.

Tony kept visiting me in my trailer and showing me "Who's The Boss."

I was 8 when the show started. But I was a man by the time it ended.

R39 Anne...Anne Heche...is that you??? How you been girl?

What's all this crazy talk?!? He's about as gay as Johnny Travolta! And I've nailed 'em both!

Don't fuck with my memory, bitches.

[quote]As for details, he said Danza had a little above average uncut dick but it was really thick and larger than average balls and a really hairy ass and crack.

True, except Danza is definitely cut. Saw him in gym locker room.

Never saw him in a gay bar or club in NYC on the Kate 70s early 80s. Dies not strike me as gay either- just cute when he was younger. More DL wishful thinking.

Tony was one of Merv Griffins boys. I remember reading a story written years ago by an older guy who worked at Merv's hotel . { Vegas or Palm Springs, can't recall}. This guy was asked to bring lunch to Merv's private bungalow. The bungalow had its own private pool. When The guy entered the area he saw Merv sitting on a patio chair watching a young very naked Tony Danza emerge from the pool and continue to dry himself off. The lucky guy said Tony was completely uninhibited by his nudity and it was obvious that Tony was there for Merv's enjoyment.

Short, smallish but VERY sexy and charming.

Danza had every blond waitress, stewardess and secretary that looked his way.

You guys that spread such incorrect gossip should be ashamed of yourselves.

I mean, you're not even good gossips.

R47,,

Danza was not Merv's type, at all.

Merv like tall nordic guys.

Years ago there was a rumor Danza hired on of the top male porn stars as his sex companion. Do you remember that. There was also supposed to be a tape of him doing he with that he that he made. Those were the romors...

Very nice, R48. Was this in 1972? That's the last time a "stewardess" was a job title.

Danny Pintauro always said, how uncomfortable Tony was around him. Danza was obviously suppressing his homosexual tendencies.

[quote] Danny Pintauro always said, how uncomfortable Tony was around him. Danza was obviously suppressing his homosexual tendencies.

I'm at least as gay as he is, and even I always felt uncomfortable around him. The fact that he couldn't act his way out of a paper bag was a factor in that, though. I never got those creepy vibes from Chad Allen or Glenn Scarpelli, to compare apples to apples.

You never thought Glenn Scarpelli was gay? I guess you are blind huh?

[quote]You never thought Glenn Scarpelli was gay? I guess you are blind huh?

Gay ≠ creepy, R54, and it's that creepiness I got from Danny that I didn't get from the others. You know it when you see it, even in bad child actors who CAN act their way out of the paper bag he tried and failed to act his way out of. Meanwhile, I read Glenn to gayness before you could sing "this is it" over the exit for I-70, while Chad Allen, whom I've always genuinely liked as an actor, damn near broke my gaydar even before he hit puberty.

R54 Yeah, Scarpelli definitely ping-ed, don't know how anyone could've missed that.

[quote]Yeah, Scarpelli definitely ping-ed, don't know how anyone could've missed that.

The combination of a lack of easy access to [italic]One Day at a Time[/italic] reruns and being a baby when its network run ended will do that to you.

Good point, sorry for being so sarcastic R58

[quote]Merv like tall nordic guys.

Danny Terrio = tall + nordic

Yeah Chad Allen isn't at all creepy

[quote]Merv like tall nordic guys.

Is Ryan Seacrest a tall nordic type?

I pegged Glenn Scarpelli as a junior miss the first time I saw him on ODAT.

I used to call [italic]Who's the Boss[/italic] "Guinea A Break!"

[You do realize that this is a troll, right? It just craves attention. You might want to stop talking to it.]

Randall Carver played John the handsome young naive man.

Carver said, the producer said that the show had to cut one character and they should go to the casting couch to decide if it was him or Danza.

Carver left, which means that Danza didn't.

I've been reading the replies here and some say he's bisexual and some say he's gay...I think he may just have a sex addiction and any gender will do to satisfy his terrible need.

I think there was a photo at one time of Danza coming out of a limo with Ryker. Ryker was at the opening of The Ice Man Cometh starring Danza on Broadway..

Marlu Hennisey said she did him and we all know what a liar she is.

Is that true R69 or just "true"?

The producers said, that Randall Carver's John was the exact same character as Tony Danza's Tony and they didn't need two of the same character.

It was implied that Danza cozied up to the production to get them to pick him. How he did that isn't known, it could be sexual or simply being a suck up.

He looks more like a suck up or a crawler than a bisex.

Marilu has admitted to bedding all of her leading men in TAXI with the exception of Danny de Vito. That means Judd, Jeff (RIP!), Tony and even Christopher.

Don't know if Randall got out in time.

She is a nut-job and a confirmed liar.

I remember each and every one of them!

R77 There are lots of rumors about him having had gay sex, hitting on men and going to gay bars, and you don't even want to believe he is at least bi? Oh my.

all I can say, he was great in Angel's in Outfield and WTB, with a special nod to Taxi. I would like to say thank you to the producers or anyone who gave him his chance. We all need them.

I'm guessing these gay rumors are spread by enemies, M.L.H. or someone who hates anyone who votes Republican.

R83, nice try. Whiny Repug as usual.

Tony Danza LOVES huge cocks.

All it takes is one imaginative queen on a meth binge to write on the internet that so-and-so hired a porn star to fuck around with and everyone falls in line and continues the rumor.

It's so sad.

I feel sorry for Tony, he's a great guy but clearly someone out there wants to ruin his life with vicious gossip.

Why is claiming somebody is gay vicious gossip? What is wrong with being gay?

Why are virulent homophopes on DL?

Self-loathing gays ok.

Virulent homophobes not ok.

Claiming he is cavorting with porn stars is not the same as calling someone gay--it is tarnishing them with a sleazy reputation.

There are a number of things I consider sleazy.

Cavorting with porn stars is not one of them.

Another Chad Allen detour . . .

In 1983, he appeared on "Cutter to Houston," playing "a kid who got hurt and had to be given mouth-to-mouth and carried to the waiting chopper by Dr. Hal Wexler (Alec Baldwin)".

"I thought it was the greatest job I had ever gotten," he later stated.

Allen was 9. Baldin, 25.

How does a rumor like Ken and Tony get started? This was before the widespread use of the internets too. I know straight people who "know" this.

haven't you seen the latest study? there are only 9 million gays and bisexuals in the U.S....and Tony Danza isn't one of them!

If you're one of the 78% of psychiatrists who think it was a mistake to removed homosexuality from the list of mental illness, then yes, calling Danza gay is an insult.

Hi Tony,

I've been exhausting myself here for hours trying to fend off the false gossip.

How's the dancing going?

Danza is a violent sickie, or at least he was to my friend. Tony liked my friend, a masseur, totally legit, but was starting to make creepy advances....Suffice to say Danza is a conflicted creep, and was OBSESSED with why he didn't have John Travolta's career! His minor-league talent never crossed his mind, I guess. Ha!

R96, did you deliberately avoid revealing the gender of your friend, the masseur? I assumed "male" but wasn't sure.

I see Tony's publicist is posting tonight.

He was sex on a stick when he was young. I totally would've ridden that hot little guinea ass.

I'll be right there, just doing my math homework with Tony!

40 goes into 14 how many times?

Yes, r97, he is male, and a very non-model looking, smallish, middle aged guy. Nice looking but not someone the average guy goes nuts for and is himself rarely sexual in any way. Perhaps his appeal? Who knows, but Danza really scared him.

If Tony was fucking around in the late 70's/early 80's, he would definitely have been dead from aids.

I'll never forgive him for inflicting Joey Tribbiani on the world.

A little gossip on David Morris, the Danza look alike discussed a little earlier. Even though he looked italian, he was jewish (Reingold). He developed a major heroin addiction and contracted Hep C in the mid 80s. Heard he was mainly straight in his personal life and had a thing for being dommed by women. He did an occasional gay or bi scene in early in his career when he looked much better. He stunt assed for George Payne in Centurians Of Rome after George refused to bottom. He claimed he got 10 grand for CoR (yeah, right). He also occasionally escorted for women and men (George Payne did too). The two scenes linked earlier in the thread were late in his career when he was starting to lose his looks a little. He ended up ODing and didn't die right away and suffered from major damage and lingered on in a nursing home until he died.

R93 just proved "mental illness" is a social construct and that psychiatry and psychology are rackets.

I have many friends from the 70's who fucked around a lot and are still alive. As far as stars are concerned, plenty like Travolta are still with us.

He certainly had gay voice. "But, Angelaaaaa." "Oh, Monaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa."

I found this today, apparently Danza was on the old Tom Snyder show saying gays were attacking him with rumours because he said Ellen was slimy:

[quote]Message: 205.134.244.13 writes: TONY DANZA claims he is being attacked by gays for his criticism of the open display of Ellen DeGeneres and lover Anne Heche in front of President Clinton. On the TOM SNYDER "Late Late Show" Danza said, that she and her companion are hugging in front of the president, I mean it's slimy. Danza claims that rumors started by gays to get back at him for above claim say that his name was found in the black book of a Hollywood pimp, arrested for tax evasion, who supplies young men to celebrities. A steamy story in the June 1999 issue of DUDE said Danza regularly regularly employed the services of gay male porn star KEN RYKER. It's a vicoious lie by gays out to get me, said Danza. And did the magazine print the name of this pimp who supposecly supplied Ken Ryker. No, because he doesn't exist. It would be laughable except it hurts my family, Danza added.

He was hot like fire. Insanely sexy bottom.

He's gonna be unemployed soon. Maybe he'll start turning tricks.

Yes, yes and YES! I grew up in the same neighborhood. He visited his mommy all the time after he was famous in Jamaica bklyn, and it was a well known open secret! Ha ha..You bitches are funny. I love you all.

I worked with a guy who was a prostitute in San Francisco. He said he was hired a few times by Tony Danza.

Yes, he is INCREDIBLY conflicted. He goes to male masseurs, and acts out and weird, occasionally become enraged and threatening.

He is also obsessed with John Travolta's success, and cannot believe how successful Travolta is and he himself ISN'T!

[quote]Yes, yes and YES! I grew up in the same neighborhood. He visited his mommy all the time after he was famous in Jamaica bklyn,

Except Jamaica is in Queens?

You are gonna tell me that not one chorus boy in HONEYMOON IN VEGAS on Broadway had him? Come now....

He's been dating ME, you tragic gay bitches! He loves ME, only ME!

I love my Gays, but darlings, please recognize true heterosexual love when you see it. My momma always did, and so have I! Over and over again.

We just FIT together,

I first heard this rumor on Sept. 18th, 1979. It was a very hot day and I had on a new pair of jeans I had bought at The Gap in Santa Monica on Wilshire. A blonde sales clerk asked me about Tony while I was trying the jeans on. They were playing My Sharona on the stereo system. I had just run into Carole Demas who was the original Sandy and Grease and she asked me if the rumors about Tony were true. Carole had on a lovely pale green pant suit but she had lost one of her earrings while she was on her lunch break after temping at an advertising agency in Century City. The Shubert Theater was new in Century City and I had seen my friend Sandy Roveta do a lovely take on Cassie somewhere during the run of A Chorus Line. I had audtioned for Judy Turner and Val in NYC countless times but I always got cut in the final callback even though he had Johnny call in his contacst after he hit it big on Kotter.....

He aged quite well, he seems very rated-g and a bit corny, annoyingly so. Not that it would stop me from dropping my pants and having him fuck my brains out, but yeah I'm not sure if it just his TV image but I like New Yorkers to be edgy and not Disney.

The rumors have been around NYC for nearly 40 years. He's very self hating and only fucks escorts and "the help". I've heard he may be more at ease with it recently however, hence the divorcing his wife in 2013 and shacking up with a long term companion, but I can't confirm it.

And NO, he would not have gone for Danny Pintauro. Two bottoms don't make a top and Danza is a VERY bossy, demanding bottom.

[quote]nd only fucks escorts and "the help"

poor Viola

This guy is an Italian daddy god. I would literally let him piss on me after cumming in my mouth.

Unfortunately, David Morris only did gay porn when he was older and totally used up. In his younger hot days, it was strictly the straight stuff.

My next door neighbor used to work for this guy whose sister found a wallet on the 7 train and when she went to return it to the owner it turns out he knew this other guy who was waiting for a bus one day and started talking to this lady whose cousin went to school out west someplace and one of the girls in her cousins dorm used to live down the block from a guy that does hair, and I swear this is true, one of his clients was getting her hair done one day and she totally said that Tony Danza is totally gay. I swear.

Hardcore Republican. Then again, there are those Log Cabin folk.

No, he's not gay or bi, that's why he brought in that new boy to replace Danny "Couldn't keep his hands off Tony" Pintauro.

I was only 8 when I started the show. Mr. Danza came into my trailer... and he showed me WHO'S THE BOSS.

I couldn't sit down for a week.

I guess he used a double headed dildo, Danny at R128?

Am I wrong but I thought that PINTAURO said DANZA gave him a lot of shit when he came out.

[quote]Any truth that Tony Danza was/is bi?

I can see it.....especially in this Love Boat clip.

At least while he's on his back.

DL fave Judith Light was endlessly supportive of Pintauro and encouraged him to come out.

Danza, apparently, came around to support him. But not so readily.

[quote] I always heard he was just gay friendly...as in..go ahead and blow me.

More like "go ahead and fuck me."

come out as gay or as hiv postive r133?

I could see why someone might advice a person in the public eye to do that.I don't think that speaks poorly of Danza.

[quote]R96], did you deliberately avoid revealing the gender of your friend, the masseur?

You may want to look up the definition of masseur.

[quote]This guy is an Italian daddy god. I would literally let him piss on me after cumming in my mouth.

If he is/was a bottom how did he not wind up HIV+?

Can't a fella love Show Tunes and not be considered queer?

Tony's father was a garbage man, so I imagine that must leave some emotional scars.

I could always hear Tony yelling at Danny to "butch it up" through the trailer walls.

He would also correct Danny on set, yelling "Watch those wrists, Mary!"

He was doing his little song and dance thing at a pop culture convention recently.

Is he C list or D list at this point?

He also used to hire Rex Chandler - a lot. It is common knowledge in hollywood he is a big ole bottom.

^ Source on this common knowledge, please?

Been working in Hollywood for 20 years...there are people everyone knows are gay or lesbians. I can tell you I went to a party once and Rex Chandler was there, I was talking to him, he was super friendly and a bit out of place. Guess who he was there with?

^ Thanks! Was this in the 80s or later? What kind of party? If Tony's "date" was a gay porn actor, was he kind of "out" then, at least to the people at that party? Did you talk to or observe Tony? Was he dick?

Where was I reading that Tony Danza is the meanest, crankiest, hot head to be around? Like so awful he would make people on set cry and/or quit?

[quote]him doing he with that he that he made

I do this all the time.

I worked at St Luke's/Roosevelt Hospital in the 70's and 80's and Tony Danza was frequently in the ER with injuries from fighting. He was known to be a violent guy.

r149 - 90's was not his date they were not together at all as far as it appeared. I think Tony got him there to be ready to leave but they were not together. Rex laughed when I recognized him, she said "keep it cool." I happened to know a few other porn guys from weho so We talked most of the night. I never put two and two together until he said "hey I gotta run now" and got in Danza's limo.

I could at least believe Tony was a beneficiary of the casting couch.

Judith Light is one of Tony's best friend, you can't get any gayer than that.

I vividly remember that Tony Dazna gave me the first "gay" boner I ever remember having. This was in the late 80s when Who's the Boss was at the height of its popularity I was 13 or 14. At this particular point in the show, the wardrobe people had moved Tony away form the darker 70s style blue jeans he wore for the first couple seasons into the lighter acid wash jeans that were stylish in the late 80s. They were super tight on Danza and his ass and thighs would bulge in them. In this episode, Tony sits down on the couch with Sam's character and he clearly winces because the jeans must have squeezed his balls being very tight. For the rest of the scene he's clearly trying get his balls to move to stop the pain by moving his thighs back and forth but in the process you could clearly see everything flopping around, balls and cock. My just entering puberty pecker enjoyed it a lot. Side note, late the show's run the put Danza in much looser fitting jeans and they did not flatter him.

PS he fills out this spiderman costume wonderfully.

^ Total gay face in that pic. I like that particular hairstyle on him.

R155 poor quality but this seemed to happen to Danza a lot.

Tony flexing his biceps in an episode about being in a beefcake calendar.

Also features DL favorite Grant Aleksander (he of the pendulous dong) - though he's sadly wearing baggy Miami Vice style clothes here.

Oh, the show's intro when he's in the shower! I remember always getting excited whenever that came on.

I may have splashed out a few loads to that shower shot.

AND the one of Gregory Harrison in the Trapper John opening.

It's all pretty much true except for the poster who said Danza didn't like to suck dick. He fucking LOVED it and loved swallowing.

R158, standard 80s sitcom fare... but this was entertaining.

The cougar lady went on to play plain Ruth on Y&R, Carl Williams' new girlfriend after he got amnesia.

Dori Brenner was a bit of a scene stealer as Angela's pal Wendy. Sadly, she died of cancer at only 53.

Big Grant fan here, but he played every line perfectly. Took the beats, got his laughs. Wasn't afraid to do hunk roles.

Spelling used him in a rare miss called Dark Mansions, I think. He did one or two other things and then back to Springfield.

Is Tony Danza a homophobe?

I read he once complained about Ellen Degeneres kissing a girlfriend (a woman anyway) because he didn't want his kids exposed to that. It would be such a disappointment if it is true because I love Who's the boss.

R166 Basically yes. Danny Pintauro has talked about Tony was "less than thrilled" when he came out.

r166 I will never understand gay or bi men who become homophobes.

[quote] a little above average uncut dick but it was really thick

That makes it much higher than average.

[quote]Danny Pintauro has talked about Tony was "less than thrilled" when he came out.

Bullshit, Danny was out the day he came OUT of the womb. Even Helen Keller could see he was a homosexual.

So, when you see those reunion clips it's all fake on Tony's part in relation to Danny?

He looks like the type'a guy who'd sashay into a joint and order a Flaming Rum Punch.

For you guys who have seen Tony naked... I've always fantasized he has a large, dense bush. Am I correct?

There is at least one thing that is certainly 100% true in the original post.

He DOES have a very hairy ass. I remember seeing him from behind without his shirt on, probably on an episode of Taxi, but maybe something else, and he had a very noticeable patch of dark black hair on his lower back. Nowadays he likely would have been told to shave or wax it off, but late-70's, early-80's it was acceptable.

And there was an article in some magazine, it was either an interview with Marilu Henner or Tony Danza, where it talked about her teasing him about that patch of overgrown ass hair.

So, gay or bi, top or bottom, who knows...but hairy ass, most definitely!

Mona's a lying bitch. I had him before, during and after his "bi" experimental stage. I didn't care, he still got it up for me.

He looks good in this shot - he should play Andrew Cuomo.

[quote] I will never understand gay or bi men who become homophobes.

A very easy thing to understand. A story as old as Shakespeare (and beyond).

Some people loathe the things they are, or the things they become. Or they compromise for popularity, favor or money.

r26 I kept expecting Angela to walk in.

The porn star connection was refuted by pimp David Forrest. He said the rumors were started in an attempt to get back at him for his remarks about Ellen.

So, is he a closet queen? Or sex addict?

r120 You put it so well. Tony Danza is a Disney New Yorker.

[R174] Yes - he definitely strikes me as a pixie.

Well I worked on the UWS in the eighties during or just after the Taxi run and Tony had an apartment up there; He was kinda scary as in" don't come near me" and I knew nurses at Roosevelt Hospital, he was in the ER frequently because of fights he had in various bars. He seemed like another straight asshole.

He still tap dances.

If that's not evidence, I don't know what is.

I worked around Grant Aleksander for more than a year and never got any BDE vibe from him at all or saw any evidence of such. Is this a DL legend or is there verificatia of sizemeat?

Expected there to be more backstage stories about Tony around Honeymoon in Vegas, as he had his own money in the show as well as starring in it. He even went down to TKTS and flyered for it.

R187 why does he live in such a shitty looking apt (in what looks like the Upper/Upper Westside)? Did his ex-wife take all his money?

^ I was wondering that, too.

He probably just didn't save much.

[quote]The producers said, that Randall Carver's John was the exact same character as Tony Danza's Tony and they didn't need two of the same character.

[quote]It was implied that Danza cozied up to the production to get them to pick him. How he did that isn't known, it could be sexual or simply being a suck up.

To be fair, Danza had a lot more charisma and his character had more personality. I am guessing if they had asked the viewers who to keep it would have been Tony.

This photo has been circulating for around 40 years. I first saw it in the late 70s or early 80s. There's still a lot of debate as to whether it's real or fake. I think it's probably real since since it predates Photoshop and when I first saw it it was one of a series of him drying off and getting dressed in a locker room,

I am a Frau who ended up here by Googling "Tony Danza naked."

He did a play with Miss Kevin Spacey. Can you imagine?

The nude photo is fake.

The original non-nude was posted upthread.

The rumors about him having sex with men have existed for decades.

They predate Ellen's coming out.
