818- What was it like being one of Degrassi’s longest-running teachers?
In this special watch party episode, I’m joined by Tom Melissis, who played Mr. Perino throughout Degrassi: The Next Generation and Degrassi: Next Class. But before he was walking the halls of Degrassi as a teacher, he also appeared in Degrassi Junior High as Jeff the Mechanic.
Together, we watch through some of Tom’s most memorable Degrassi scenes: Jenna lactating in class, Fiona bringing a pig to school, dramatic hallway fights, and more.
Plus, Tom reveals that one of his fellow adult cast members once asked him on a date. 👀
Class is in session, and Mr. Perino has stories.
