Before he ever gave us one of sitcom’s most iconic characters, Henry Winkler had a lot of experience as a “serious” theatre actor under his belt. He had studied at the Yale School of Drama, acted in several plays (including on Broadway), and had already dipped his toe into the pond of television comedies with his small part in The Mary Tyler Moore Show. 

Plus, Winkler famously won the role of Arthur “Fonzie” Fonzarelli with his audition, featuring an iconic comb bit, ad-libbing, and creating a new physical persona that completely won over the directors.
