Whatever happened to Tony Danza, the unforgettable star of Who's the Boss?
Thirty-four years after the end of the hit sitcom Who's the Boss?, take a look at the career and recent projects of actor Tony Danza.
Between 1984 and 1992, television audiences fell in love with a unique handyman. In Who's the Boss?, Tony Danza established himself as a major sitcom star alongside Judith Light, Alyssa Milano, and Katherine Helmond. Before this massive hit, the actor had already gained recognition in the comedy series Taxi. However, playing Tony Micelli earned him three Golden Globe nominations and enduring international fame.
Life after the series was not a straightforward path. Danza faced career choices he later deeply regretted, such as turning down the lead role in the hit cop drama New York Police Blues, a massive success that ran for twelve seasons.
To break away from his wholesome TV dad persona, Danza ventured into thrillers with television movies, hosted his own talk show, and performed on Broadway in The Producers. Over the years, viewers have spotted him playing Joseph Gordon-Levitt's father in the feature film Don Jon, starring in Netflix's The Good Cop, and making a cameo appearance in the Sex and the City sequel series, And Just Like That....
Today, at 75 years old, Tony Danza remains active on screens, landing a role in the dramatic series Power Book III: Raising Kanan. While a planned revival of Who's the Boss? discussed in recent years did not materialize, his legacy in television comedy remains fully secured.
