SHORT TAKES : ‘Porky’s’ Star Tries a New Act
From Times Wire Services
FT. WAYNE, Ind. —
The last time the public saw Dan Monahan he was a wimpy high school student named Peewee, peeking through a hole in the girls’ locker room in the 1981 movie “Porky’s.”
Monahan is still hanging around locker rooms. This time, he’s not acting.
The hot-to-trot nerd in “Porky’s” and two sequels has given up acting to become the sales representative and promotions director of the Northern Indiana Basketball Corp., Ft. Wayne’s new franchise in the Continental Basketball Assn.
“It’s still entertainment in a sense, and yet it’s different,” Monahan said Monday. “That’s what I need.”
The team, as yet unnamed, begins CBA play in the 1991-92 season.
