Career: Winkler's first major film role was in The Lord's of Flatbush in 1974. He played a member of a Brooklyn gang. Immediately after that, he was cast in a new ABC comedy series set in the 1950s called Happy Days. He was given the role of high school dropout and greaser Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzarelli. The character became an icon and the undisputed star of the show. He remained on the series until its cancellation in 1984. Afterwards, he produced and directed several TV shows and movies, most notably MacGyver and Sabrina, the Teenage Witch. In the mid-1990s he was able to re-establish himself with a younger generation of moviegoers, appearing in popular offerings Scream and The Waterboy. He made his pantomime debut at the New Wimbledon Theatre, London, in 2006, playing Captain Hook in Peter Pan.
