Henry Winkler Regrets Turning Down "Grease" Role

winklerFormer Happy Days star Henry "The Fonz" Winkler regrets that he turned down the part of Danny in the musical "Grease", which turned out to be a huge hit film and launched John Travolta's big screen film career. Winkler says he was devastated when he realized he had made such a bad decision.

Although Winkler went on to have a successful career as a producer, he is still best known as an actor for playing 'The Fonz', while Travolta went on to become a major movie star.

He says, "I was asked to be in Grease. But I decided I didn't want to be typecast. But what I didn't realise was that I already was.

"That's why John Travolta went on to buy his own plane and I just went home."
