It's well known by now that Micky Dolenz auditioned for and almost got the part of Fonzie. It's not known why Dolenz would accept such a minor role though. The Monkees were rivals to the Beatles in terms of popularity, he was a major star at this point. And people forget that Fonzie started out as a supporting character when the show started and often didn't have any lines in the first few episodes, and would just give his "thumbs up" and say nothing else. But perhaps Gary Marshall and company would have expanded the role if Dolenz had gotten the part. Ironically the other big competitor with Henry Winkler for this role was his Lords Of Flatbush co-star, Perry King. Marshall even said in interviews that they originally wanted someone "cut like Perry King". But Marshall said even though Winkler "didn't have the look" of Fonzie, "he had the spirit."
