He is one of the most recognized actors in the world, often remembered for his portrayal of "The Fonz" for 10 seasons on the hit series "Happy Days." Most recently, he has been co-authoring a series of children's novels, "Hank Zipper," based on his own struggle through school due to undiagnosed learning challenges. The series has appeared on several Best Sellers lists. Today, he continues to act, produce, write and direct, and is chairman of several national children's foundations.
