Tony Danza
Tony Danza is nowadays maybe best known for his performance of "Tony Micelli" in Who's the Boss from 1984 until 1992. After his successful acting career, Tony decided to work as an English teacher instead of starring in front of cameras. Not only is he a talent in front of the camera, but he also seems to have some swagger in front of the class.
