Listen to MP3 audio

Actor and producer Tony Danza achieved small-screen fame with his portrayals of dimwitted but lovable cab driver Tony Banta in Taxi and as live-in housekeeper and single dad Tony Micelli on the long-running sitcom Who's the Boss?. He earned an Emmy nomination for his appearances on The Practice, and has acted in film and on Broadway, including critically acclaimed roles in revivals of Arthur Miller's A View from the Bridge and Eugene O’Neill's The Iceman Cometh. He published his first book, Don’t Fill Up On the Antipasto: Tony Danza's Father-Son Cookbook in 2008. I'd Like to Apologize to Every Teacher I Ever Had is an absorbing account of the year he spent teaching 10th-grade English at Philadelphia’s Northeast High for the A&E reality television show Teach: Tony Danza.  Mr. Danza will only sign copies of his book. Memorabilia not permitted.

Introduced by Linda Carroll, Principal Northeast High School
