Art Metrano has passed away. The actor and comedian was known for his role in the second and third "Police Academy" films.
In addition to his roles in the 1985 and 1986 installments of the comedic cop series, Metrano also appeared in the 1982 "Happy Days" spinoff "Joanie Loves Chachi" and guest-starred on "All in the Family," "Bewitched," "Starsky and Hutch" and "Mod Squad," among other TV shows. A Bensonhurst native, Metrano began his career studying acting with Stella Adler and John Cassavetes and doing stand-up in the Catskills, according to THR. His big break came when a producer for "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" invited him onto the show in 1970 after seeing his mock magic act "The Amazing Metrano" on a late-night California variety show.More Related News
