Taxi star Tony Danza reunites with co-stars 40 years after classic sitcom ended

Tony Danza got the old Taxi crew back together this week as he reunited with his co-stars 40 years after the classic sitcom ended.

The 72-year-old actor, who played Tony Banta in the show that first appeared on screens in 1978, reunited with his co-stars Judd Hirsch, Carol Kane and Christopher Lloyd.

The old pals reunited at French restaurant Manny's Bistro in New York for a slap up meal and a few drinks.

"Love this crew of old friends so much! #OldFriends #Taxi," he wrote sharing a snap on Instagram.

Fans of the sitcom went wild for the reunion with one commenting: "Nothing like true friends. And everyone looks so good too."

Another added: "This continues to make me smile. I’m so happy you all have each other and so happy they came out to visibly support you this week."

A third wrote: "This is why the show, Taxi, is so endearing. You can tell when people on a show really like each other. Everything clicks. And they were/are some of the best!"

Christopher Lloyd has been in the mood to reminisce about his career recently as earlier this year he also caught up with his Back to the Future co-stars Michael J. Fox, Lea Thompson and Tom Wilson sent fans wild with a rare reunion selfie – nearly 40 years after the first film's release.

The Hollywood icons were attending a fan convention in Portland, Oregon when they 'broke the internet' with a sweet snap.

Tom, 63, known for his role of bully Biff Tannen clutched the camera as he sat alongside the Marty McFly, Dr Emmett Brown and Lorraine Baines-McFly actors.

Michael, 61, Christopher, 84, and Lea, 61, were all-smiles as they joined Tom for the super rare selfie – sending shell-shocked fans into a frenzy.

Lea shared the snap, along with other video clips from the star-studded event on Saturday, penning in her caption: "Wow, honestly had the best time today with my #bttf family."

She added: "So many fun fan moments too and a llama."

In her Instagram she posed for more pictures with Michael, who played her on-screen son who he meets as a teenager when travelling back to the 50s.

The Marty McFly also shared a reunion snap on his Instagram story, showing the actors sat together as he wrote: "I love being at these FanExpo events.
