He really was great in NIGHT SHIFT, and it showed a new side of him after the Fonz. Similarly, Michael Keaton did one thing in NIGHT SHIFT and then something very different in BATMAN.
Ron Howard gave Winkler a nice recurring role in ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT. That's an especially witty sitcom if you haven't seen it.
Oddly enough I was never a big fan of the Fonz. He was just to full of himself for my tastes. Which is why Winkler blew me away in Night Shift! And yes, he seems like a great guy in real life.

And when Winkler gets his morning paper in his bathrobe your friend greets him with "Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"
He's hilarious in the reality TV travel show: Better Late than Never. If anyone hasn't seen it he vacations around the world with William Shatner, George Forman, and Terry Bradshaw. They get in some hilarious (most likely scripted) situations. They also have some serious conversations where you get a glimpse of what these guys are like in real life.
There was a funny moment a few years back when BBC News were on the streets of Richmond asking passers by their opinions of the plan to expand Heathrow Airport. The interviewer stopped a middle-aged man with his shopping bags to ask him the same, without initially realising who he was:
Just watched him in a Law & Order: SVU episode where he played a murderous con artist. Winkler was very good in it, playing a complete bastard. The episode also featured Roy Thinnes.

After Winkler's Fonz days he sort of fell off my radar. He may have been active on the screen after that, I don't know--I just never saw him. But then he seemingly comes out of nowhere and steals just about every scene in "The Waterboy". Totally cracked me up in that. I don't know how he came to get that role but it was a bit of genius casting.

He played a more benign con artist for six seasons (25 episodes) on the USA series ROYAL PAINS. He was the recurring character "Eddie R. Lawson," the roguish father of "Dr. Hank Lawson" (Mark Feuerstein) and his brother "Evan R. Lawson" (Paulo Costanzo).
