 Birth Name
Henry Franklin Winkler
He was cast on a new ABC series which was set in the 1950s called "Happy Days" (1974). He was given the role of high school dropout and grease Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzarelli. The character was seldom seen during the first few episodes as ABC initially feared he would be perceived as a hoodlum. However, the character became extremely popular with viewers and the show's producers decided to give Fonzie a more prominent role in the series.
In the mid-80s, with his "Happy Days" now behind him, Henry decided to change his focus toward producing and directing. He produced and directed several television shows and movies, most notably "MacGyver" (1985) and "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch" (1996). In the mid-90s and early 2000s, he was able to re-establish himself with a younger generation of movie-goers and TV viewers, appearing in the popular films, "Scream" (1996/I) and "The Waterboy" (1998) and on shows such as "The Practice" (1997) and "Arrested Development" (2003).
