Henry Winkler is the most soft spoken gentle man out there😢🥰

One of the funniest bits on the show is when Winkler's character reminds his acting class they still had to "pay for the full session."

if either of these two dudes turned out to be bad guys, i think i'd have a crisis of confidence.

Henry wearing a flannel over a dress shirt. Only the Fonz could pull that off.

These two have such great chemistry together. Met Henry Winkler just this past weekend at a Comic-Con event, and hope one day to meet Bill Hader. Hope Barry lasts many seasons!

”I think we can all agree, that if you kill someone outside of a fucking psycho”

Henry winkler's voice is so every time his dialogues came up, my ears relaxed almost on cue

I am so fond of both these guys. I used to watch "Happy Days" as a little girl, "Fonzie" as we called him was a sort of hero in Italy. Over the years Henry Winkler is still one of the actors that always puts me in a good mood. And he proved to be a fantastic person, just like Bill Hader. I've just started to watch "Barry" since it's not aired in Europe, and I am loving the script. The scene where Winkler/Cousineau flirts with the detective it was just flawless and hilarious.
These two can be the best anti-depressant ever. I wish them all the best for the years to come, they truly deserve it.

It’s almost a passing of the torch from one of the greatest guys to one of the greatest guys.

Bill when Henry walked in


*Oh my Gosh, it's Henry Winkler*

[veiyi]

Bill was genuinely amused. That laugh😂

[Michael]

Henry "ok I see your still in that place".

And not to forget, Henry Winkler is such a legend that the term "jump the shark" is literally about about The Fonz. He's a legend who controlled a jukebox by force of will and jumped a shark in a leather jacket.

[samholder]

Winkler still reads for parts -- that's awesome. actor through and through

[floatingsara]

Bill Hader looks at Henry Winkler the way Finn Wolfhard looks at Bill Hader <3

[evee]

These two are amazing together, Barry totally made me a Bill Hader fanboy

[Beverly_Dingus]

I can’t help but smile when I see these two. Ugh, I just love them. ❤️

Wow, Henry really really lucked out if he legitimately only had a month to stay in Hollywood to try to make it as an actor. It can take aspiring actors more than a month just to get an agent! They try for years with failed audition after failed audition and still barely get anywhere. He was not only lucky enough to land a major role on a show in less than a month of trying, but then be so lucky that that show actually became a hit and got like 10+ seasons. It's like playing poker for the first time and getting a royal flush. I'm not a religious man, but if there is such a thing as blessed people, Henry Winkler is one of them.
