    I like Henry's last statement, "Life is filled with risks, you take them or you don't. You have to go all out, you can't live in the middle."

      I agree with you. Henry is so sweet. He inspired me to follow my acting dream on Twitter. I really admire and appreciate him. :)

      anothony peterson Totally agree! That was back in the day where egos weren’t out of control, and men were still gentlemen. Tom Hanks is another one. Too bad today’s celebrities have become so jaded, and the machine of “Hollywood” has allowed it to occur. Same thing applies to professional athletes today. I remember when players had to have second jobs and made 30K a year. Today those men are philanthropists and have had successful secondary careers after retirement from ball. Today’s athletes are paid ungodly amounts of money and most probably don’t have a lot to show for it after their careers end. I miss the old days.

    I watched the first place he showed the Movie Hero's when it first went out. It was a theatre in San jose Ca. After the movie Henry came in there with a white suit on and waved. They wanted to see the reactions and gave us a paper to rate the movie on how we liked it. People went crazy when he came out with a smile and a wave.

    1:21 strange statement about "Heroes" since Henry Winkler already appeared in two films, a bit part in "Crazy Joe" and of course a co-starring role in "The Lords of Flatbush," both from 1974.

    The movie Hero's was a movie where Henry played a troubled Vietnam Vet. Its a good movie for its time, & if you look real close, you'll notice it also had Harrison Ford who later starred in those Star Wars films & it also it had Sally Field who went on to star in those Smokey & the Bandit films with Burt Reynolds, Jerry Reed, & Jackie Gleason. Lucky me, I have all those great movies & I even have Hero's with Henry Winkler. I loved the Camero that was in the movie. That was a fast car. lol And to Jerry & Jack may they RIP We miss you !!!

      +Regular John Yea, I have the complete series on dvd. All the shows I like, I buy the complete series or I don't buy em at all. My cousin flew to Germany with her husband on one of their planes for a 2nd honeymoon & she brought back one of my all time favorite shows from the 80's BJ & The Bear. The complete series on dvd. This was before it was released. It was a bootleg, but NAILED IT!!! lol I also have the complete Buck Rogers, the complete Battle Star Galactica, & the list just goes on & on. Hell, who needs cable? I don't. lol I also have the complete Wonder Woman on dvd. The only 2 shows I don't have complete are a 80's sitcom called "Just The Ten Of Us" only cos its never been released yet, & my all time favorite show "Heartland" And that's only cos its still on TV going strong. Its in its 9th season & I have the first 8 on dvd. Its a great show. Has great acting, a great cast & it also has purdy woman & my critters. Who could ask for more. lol You can watch it on youtube. Just type in Heartland & you'll be all set. I also have the complete Knight Rider on dvd & so much more. Back when shows were fun to watch & not all this garbage junk TV they have nowadays. The only exception today that I see, is Heartland. If you have kids & are looking for a good wholesome show you can watch & not worry if your kids watch it by themselves, this show is it. You get no half naked woman, or foul language & its a show if you have kids, you can be proud of. Its filmed in Canada & the snow IS real. Just ask the cast. lol And the scenery is gorgeous. In short, its a great show.

    The character of fonz was a character with many flaws but as his role of a character with so many visible flaws he played off the role well but later to become something grown into..
    Which opened him into a great actor with many talents and many different roles...he will always be a legend in the acting field...in a time when actors were substance and life.
