Henry Winkler

Henry Winkler is famous for playing the role of Fonzie on the television show, "Happy Days." He later wrote a series of books titled "Here's Hank" about a boy with dysleixa.


I had the privilege of asking him about how his dyslexia affected his acting career, at a directors presentation at SXSW in 2019. He mentioned that when he auditioned for the role of Fonzie, he forgot all of his lines. Dyslexics often struggle with memorization. He got the part anyway becasue of this excellent acting skills.
