Henry Winkler has played countless memorable roles during the span of his five long decades of his acting career.
In 1974, the actor landed his breakthrough role as Fonzie in Happy Days and became a household name. While his recent performance in dark comedy Barry earned him his first Primetime Emmy Award in 2018.
But when Henry was asked which role has been his “favorite” over the years, the 81-year-old actor’s answer was not what fans might expect.
Henry replied that he can not name one stand out character as every role he played held a special place in his heart.
“I don’t have a favorite. I love doing every one of them,” he told Entertainment Tonight.
The actor further noted, “I am living the dream I had on 78th and Broadway, and it never escapes me.”
Henry’s reference to “78th” and Broadway points at Manhattan where he grew up.
Henry’s answer resonated when he was asked a similar question about his favorite project back in 2011 by Daily Actor, “This is the absolute truth, I don’t have a favorite.”
“Every time I think of a project, I always think, ‘Wow, this is great, no, no, no, this one is great.’ It’s like my children; I don’t have a favorite.”
The New York City born actor knew his passion for acting and studied theater at Emerson College and earned a master degree in Fine Arts from the Yale School of Drama.
He got his hit role as Fronzie in 1974 which later earned him two Golden Globe Awards
