Porky's Actor, Wyatt Knight Commits Suicide


Long before American Pie came to be, there were a series of movies which kind of morphed Animal House with Wonder Years. The movie was called Porky's and the sequels were brilliantly titled Porky's 2 and Porky's 3. You just do not see genius like that very often. The movies were basically a way to show breasts and were some of the first R rated movies which did really well at the box office. Kim Cattrall was in at least one and became famous for her very loud sex scenes. Very loud. Like the whole school could hear her loud. I don't think I have even seen these movies on cable in years. It is like they just do not exist anymore. Despite the fact they were supposed to be lighthearted, I found them to be much darker than an American Pie movie. They had more adult themes and subjects and were much more edgy than you would expect.


One of the stars of the trilogy was Wyatt Knight. His body was found last week in Maui and police suspect the actor committed suicide. He was 56.
