I met Henry Winkler when he was making the Waterboy in Orlando. I was working in a place called Subs Plus in my shopping center, I was the cashier who also took the orders and Henry used to come in for a slice of pizza and order food to go also. I cannot tell you he is the nicest celebrity and human being I have ever met. He went above and beyond to take pictures and also send autograph photos to some sons of friends of mine. He came in almost every day and couldn't have been nicer.

@ThatsClassicTV 9 месяцев назад

I love the story because Henry is just the nicest guy and cares so much❤️

@marthamagruder3698 Год назад

I met Henry at an autograph show several years ago and he was so incredibly nice! Before he met everyone he went to each person, shook our hand, and thanked us for coming. Not many celebrities do that! I was very impressed! He also didn't sit at a table to meet everyone. He stood up in front of the table to sign pictures and have pictures taken with us. Truly one of a kind.

@csrothlisberger852 8 месяцев назад

I'll bet Henry makes an amazing instructor with his master classes. He's a good listener & makes eye contact with the person asking the questions even through Zoom. He's thoughtful in responding & phrasing his answers. It's what makes him a good actor--listening, diving deep into the thought process & formulating & translating those thoughts to action. He comes off like a very nice person, humble, kind, grateful, & seeing humor in situations. He doesn't take himself too seriously & is able to visualize his role on this planet. Makes him an interesting & big man. He speaks with such authority & emphasis. No wonder why people ran out to get library cards when Fonzie did. He could sell people the moon but in a kind way. He'd make an excellent motivational speaker. Loved the interview. Thanks for sharing!

@ThatsClassicTV 8 месяцев назад

@hfxmusicman 2 месяца назад

Just found you this week. Everything I've watched so far has been stellar. Most shocking moment in this episode to me...The Fonz was only 17 years old on the show!!! I knew the other actors were playing younger but I always assumed Fonzie was their older friend. It certainly was a different time with casting wasn't it. I guess if the cast of Grease could play teenagers anyone could back then. lol

@richenuff01 Год назад

Back in 1981, I was at Carney's Restaurant on Sunset Blvd and was about to place my order. It was the first time being there and needed to look at the menu a little longer. The guy behind the counter said “, hello Mr. Spelling." I looked back and saw right behind me was Aaron Spelling and his wife. I was young and knew his name but never would have recognized his face. Henry mentioned actors telling producers, when spotted on the street, that they are actors and looking for work. I could have never been so bold...LOL..and bet that most casting agents, etc., would be constantly bothered and would just blow off the "intruders." But if you want to make it in the entertainment business, sometimes taking chances at being bold could pay off. Maybe that's why I only had limited work during my time as a "want to be actor." Who knows...LOL But I met some very nice entertainers over the years, and of course, was very polite during the conversation. My absolute favorite was Loretta Lynn, aka the Coal Miner’s Daughter. She was very personal…loved her.

John, Shawn here again. I just subscribed to your channel. I'm enjoying your interview with Henry and Bob, and like Henry I could not do the voices that Bob does. I understand how hard it is to get a break in the entertainment industry, and it's even harder when you don't live near or in a city that has potential for someone like me that has done very well on stage. My other problem is I don't come across as a great actor or writer. I've impressed a lot of people with my talents on stage when the opportunity came. I'm banking on what I did with the old Christmas Classic will launch me forward in the industry. I loved Henry and Ron's brother in "Night Shift" 👍😁👍

@@ThatsClassicTV I totally understand about the time frame. And I get that it is mostly about the stuff from back when we were kids and the shows we watched. I loved that he was so very open and friendly with everyone that he met. Like you said when he met you and the questions he has for others. Very humble and thankful for where he is and understands that the fans are the ones who helped get him there. Sitting on the edge of my seat for the next interview :)

I met Henry back in the early '80s. Unfortunately he was very rude to me and I was absolutely taken aback by it. In all fairness to him it was during his Happy Days years and I understand he was under a lot of pressure. Still it was very disappointing to me and I've never forgotten it. I think he's in a much better place today. He seems very content at this stage of his life.

I had to grow up mostly with just my mother, who rarely ever had anything positive or encouraging to say to me. She was a huge narcissist & I was the family scapegoat. I had so much creativity in me that was hardly allowed to even grow, let.alone bloom. For any misandric single mothers raising sons out there, your children are not extensions of you! They are their own individuals & if you refuse to acknowledge that, you will do them irreparable damage, even if you think you have the best of intentions. Daughters will resent this as well, but probably in other ways & for other reasons. I wish there had been mention in this video about Henry's involvement with "MacGyver". Great video. Got a little out of it. Thank you.
