Henry Winkler has had an incredible career in Hollywood, and he's looking back on it all in his new memoir "Being Henry: The Fonz…and Beyond," which is out now. The actor joined Access Daily's Mario Lopez and Kit Hoover to talk about the book, his longtime friendship with Sylvester Stallone and what it was like moving to his next chapter after "Happy Days." Henry also shared the funny story of a time where he channeled the voice of his character Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzarelli in order to get through a packed crowd! Plus, he reacted to some warm words from his pal Adam Sandler.

About 25 years ago he was directing a movie near my friends house. During a break in filming he walked around and shook hands with the entire crowd of people (including myself) and thanked us for coming. What a genuinely nice guy.

A favourite Winkler movie, An American Christmas Carol, was filmed in Canada with Canadian celebrities. Lots of respect as he was only 27 playing Slade at various points of his character's life. He was so absolutely convincing as the elderly Slade.

I met him back In the uk In 2008, he Is a gentleman and a really nice guy, The amount of people queuing up to see him and get a autograph was astounding.

@blkdgr40 Ай бұрын

True Story: I was at a Laker game in the 80's, I was probably 11 or 12. If you remember the Forum it had long aisles. I was walk Ing down and recognized him. I asked for his autograph and he declined very respectfully, but asked me to write my name and address on a napkin and he would send me something. Being that young i never expected him to send me anything, i was just grateful that i got a chance to meet him. Sure enough maybe a month later, i received an autographed picture of him. It said ; " Mark smile your cool heart out!! Have a great life, and it was great meeting you!" Needless to say that made my year, and yes of course i still have the picture and will always treasure it. Not too many A list celebs would've done that(mingle with the common folk) As far as I'm concerned he's the best and always will be.

In 1991, a couple of friends and I went to see the Disney movie, Beauty and the Beast, at the theaters next to Universal Studios Hollywood. We’re sitting there waiting for the previews to start and we see Henry Winkler coming down the isle with a couple of kids (We all assumed that those were his kids) on their way to their seats. Every one who was seated started whispering. One guy sitting in the back yelled out “HEY!” doing his best Fonzie impression. I just remember going 🤦🏻‍♀️ because I’d read that while Mr. Winkler was thankful to be able play the Fonz, he was afraid of being typecast because of that role.

If any of you don’t know, Henry Winkler did a modern adaptation of ‘a Christmas Carol’ in 1979 called ‘an American Christmas Carol’. He doesn’t play Scrooge, he plays Benedict Slade, but it’s the same basic character. The creators just didn’t want to use the original names since it was a modern setting for the story. This was the only version of a Christmas Carol that made my mother cry. Henry Winkler really is a great actor.

Here's a funny Henry Winkler story! Henry Winkler was to appear at the Pontiac Silverdome. I cannot remember what the event was, but my brother Ken was a security guard there and was assigned to Henry. Problem was my brother looked like the Fonzie character naturally, hair and all. He was kind of embarrassed, But Henry Winkler was a gentleman, and that helped Ken a lot. We just laughed! (when he wasn't looking lol)
