Henry Winkler's career is marked by an extraordinary longevity and a rare second act. After defining an era as Fonzie, he reinvented himself with acclaimed comedic roles on Arrested Development and Barry. His 2023 Emmy win for Barry made him one of the oldest actors to win a competitive Emmy, and it capped a journey from teen idol to respected character actor. He has also been recognized for his children's literature with the Children's Choice Award, and his advocacy work earned him the Order of the Smile. In 2023, Time magazine named him one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World.
