Micky Dolenz of The Monkees auditioned for the role of Fonzie. However, at 6' he was considerably taller than the other main cast members, and the producers decided that the Fonzie character should be more at an eye level with his peers. A search for a shorter actor resulted in Henry Winkler's hiring. (Dolenz later praised Winkler's portrayal, in his autobiography.) Ironically, while Dolenz was exactly 3 inches taller than the 5'9" Ron Howard, Winkler was 5'6", exactly 3 inches shorter.
