President of The Rocky Horror Picture Show Fan Club
Salvatore Francis Martin Piro (June 29, 1950 – January 22, 2023) was an American actor who was the president of The Rocky Horror Picture Show Fan Club, a position he held from 1977 until his death.[1][2][3]
Piro was a part of the original Waverly Theatre audience, from which the unique audience participation elements and much of the film's cult following were born. This following has become a worldwide phenomenon.[4]
Piro appeared as himself in the film Fame as well as a number of documentaries, and had a nonspeaking, unnamed cameo as a man using a payphone in Rocky Horror's pseudo sequel Shock Treatment. He also cameoed as The Photographer in the 2016 television remake of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.[5] As an actor, he performed in both film and television.[5]
Piro wrote two books on the Rocky Horror cult following, Creatures of the Night and Creatures of the Night II.[6]
