Henry Winkler

Biography

Henry Winkler is a beloved American icon whose career has spanned over five decades of television and film excellence. Born in 1945 in New York City, Winkler first captured the world’s heart as Arthur "The Fonz" Fonzarelli on Happy Days, a role that made him a permanent fixture of pop culture. After years of successful directing and producing, he experienced a massive career resurgence (often called the "Winklerrance") with his Emmy-winning role as Gene Cousineau in the dark comedy Barry. In Normal, the 80-year-old Winkler takes on a subversively dark role as Mayor Kibner. Moving away from his "nicest man in Hollywood" reputation, he plays the soft-spoken but deeply corrupt leader of the town of Normal. His performance is key to the film's Hitchcockian tension, portraying a man whose grandfatherly charm hides a ruthless determination to protect his town's explosive secrets at any cost.
