Winkler recalls his unhappy days as a struggling actor: “I couldn’t get hired because I was The Fonz” (via toofab)
"There were eight or nine years at a time when I couldn't get hired because I was 'The Fonz,'" Winkler confessed,"because I was typecast.""I had psychic pain that was debilitating because I didn't know what to do," he said, recalling his anxiety."I didn't know where to find it, whatever it was, I didn't know what I was going to do. I had a family. I had a dog. I had a roof. Oh. My. God.
Though the"Arrested Development" star had his fair share of obstacles after the show ended, Winkler said he has no regrets about bringing his iconic character to life. "I loved playing 'The Fonz,'" he continued."I love those people. I loved learning how to play softball. I loved traveling all over the world together with the cast. I would not have traded it."
