Tuna Boat Tony, is an indie actor and former amateur wrestler. He's been a guest host on Gatorbox since 2017 and has co-commentated a variety of content, however he is best remembered for his role as Draco's wingman for all five broadcasts of Angels with Scaly Wings -- the dragon dating simulator game. Tony and Draco famously flopped badly and received the game's worst ending despite their efforts at courting the game's female characters. In 2019 Tony and Draco hosted a playthrough of YIIK: A Post-modern RPG that famously took three years to finish due to the geographic distance between the two hosts posing a major barrier to getting their schedules to align. During the stream of YIIK Tony blurted out the phrase "PS5 REVEAL DATE?!" as a way to make fun of the expression made by the game's protagonist because it resembled the type of face commonly seen in "clickbait" style YouTube reaction thumbnails. The quote immediately became one of the most widely known and oft-quoted remarks in the history of the show.
Outside of Gatorbox, Tony is a director and writer of independent films and web series. He is currently working on a miniseries called 8-Bit Jerks.
