In 1973, when Henry Winkler audited for the role of Arthur Fonzi Fonzarelli of "Happy Days", He was removed from three years after graduating from the prestigious Yale Drama School and earning as an actor by appearing in ads. This has allowed him freedom to take less profitable theater and film gigs, which is often the only way to get anywhere as an actor and the reason why the wash rate is so high.

Just before reading the role that will completely change his life (and make television history in the process), Winkler landed in a comedy coming at the age of "Lords of Flattush". Set up in Brooklyn, the film shows the antiquities of four young Brooklyn greaspers that cause mostly innocent problems around the environment. The film was modestly successful, giving a slight encouragement to his team-what, along with Winkler, included such shock absorbers as Perry King, Susan Blakeli and Sylvester Stallone (and almost presented Richard Gere). This was the first biggest performance and gave the Moviegoers to the likes of the Law Paloka two years later in Rocky. The big things were on the horizon for some lords, and in the case of Winkler, the time he spent that film proved to be valuable because he was preparing to try it for Fonzy.

While Winkler could withdraw from his own performance as a Graiser in the Lords of Flattusch for inspiration, he actually looked at the portrayal of Stallone's leadership for Foundz.

In an interview for 2019 with PeopletvWinkler explained that Stallone's character, Stanley Rossiello-entertained Lubituer of Moodler, who shakes his complacency of lying when he accidentally impregnated his girlfriend Frani (Maria Smith)-was more like a Funn, "" Lords "," Lords "". According to Winkler, "When I made the audition, I just changed my voice a little, you know?"

Saved Fonzi after screaming was a blow to Winkler, as he not only got his role, but also turned it into one of the biggest television stars since the 1970s. Fonzi was a unique type of semolina. He was tough, and could deal more with a fight, but he preferred to deceive the ladies and exploit the sage's advice to his friends Richie (Ron Howard), Potsa (Anson Mont) and Ralph (most Donny). Fonzi was an absolute man. The only person in Milwaukee did not like was probably the owner of the vending machine whose Ukebobobobox Johns could start with a slap on his hand.

During his running on "Happy Days", Winkler often asked himself: "What would he do sly here?" How did you feel about this? Honor, it seems. When Winkler won Premier EMI for a remarkable actor to support a comedy series for his show on Acting Coach Ein Cousin of "Barry", Stallone congratulated his former co-star on Instagram. "I remember working with him on those cold streets in Brooklyn nearly 47 years ago !!!" wrote the post. "He was a super talented class act then, and even more than one now !!!" I bet that Fonz and Rocky Balboa would be glorious.
