What Happened to the Happy Days Cast?

Henry Winkler Couldn’t Read His Casting Script

Henry Winkler is dyslexic and when it came time to read six lines for his audition, he wasn’t prepared for the reading. Instead, he decided to make up his own words. He managed to convince the show’s casting directors that he was giving them a real feel for the character. His plan obviously worked and he played The Fonz for 11 very successful seasons.
