"School's In!" is back in session with a VERY special guest -- Degrassi's own Tom Melissis! Tom is best known for playing Mr. Perino in Degrassi: The Next Generation. However, he first appeared on the show in the '80s as Jeff, a young mechanic in LD's dad's shop, who was introduced in the episode we're talking about today, "Nothing To Fear" (Degrassi Junior High Season 1 Episode 8)!
Enjoy over an hour of stories, goofs, and answers to questions you've been dying to know the answer to, such as...
- What was Toronto like in the '80s?
- Which cast members does Tom still keep up with?
- Why was Mr. Perino such a jerk that one time? What is Jeff the Mechanic's last name? (the answer is important and changes Degrassi history!)
Stay tuned for the next episode, "What a Night", featuring Taylor Phillips coming soon!
