Beloved comedian and star of “Porky’s,” Tony Ganios, has died.

He may have been killed by complications from surgery.

The actor was just 64 years old.

It has been reported that Ganios passed away unexpectedly following a surgery.

Fiancée devastated

We do not know what the surgery was for or what complications Ganios underwent that caused his body to fail.

Ganios was engaged at the time of his death.

His fiancée shared the heart wrenching announcement on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

“I love you so much, my love. I’m broken,” Ganios fiancée wrote.

She posted again not long after.

“The last words we said to each other were, “I love you.” Love is an understatement. You are everything to me. My heart, my soul and my best friend,” she continued.

His claim to fame

For those who remember Ganios, it is for his hit roles in “Porky’s” and “Die Hard 2,” back in the 80s and early 90s.

He made a name for himself playing the part of the big Italian tough guy.

Ganios’ time in the spotlight was short-lived by choice.

However, when Ganios missed acting, he would return briefly to continue his career before returning to the shadows again.

Back in 2015, Cult Faction asked Ganios about this pattern.

Ganios was more than happy to answer.

"It's a strange thing. While I did miss acting, I didn't miss the entertainment industry or most of the people in it. But as time went by, I would constantly run into fans who were genuinely disappointed to know that I had quit the business. 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,” Ganios admitted.

Gone too soon

Ganios is definitely gone too soon, but one thing we can say for the actor, is that he lived a life he should be proud of.

There are not many who get to say they starred in hit films playing the cool Italian tough guy!

Ganios accomplished what some can only dream about and that is something to be proud of.

We pray for Ganios’ fiancée, friends, family, and everyone grieving the loss of this famed actor.
