While there briefly was only one Chuck Cunningham there were three different actors who played the character: Gavan O'Herlihy and Randolph Roberts. An actor named Ric Carrott played him in the pilot. He and almost everybody else the pilot was recast; so he lost his job at that point. The second actor to play him was Gavan O'Herlihy. He wound up quitting, he said he did not enjoy working on the show. Ironically they recast the character, with another actor named Randolph Roberts; who was only on the show very briefly; and then shortly thereafter, at the end of the second season when they were retooling the series; Garry Marshall retconned him off the program. This was because at the time Fonzie's popularity with audiences had grown; while Chuck failed to click with audiences; so Fonzie's role got larger and larger while Chuck's got smaller and smaller. This is because Fonzie had pretty much usurped Chuck's role as the big brother figure to Richie on the show by the time the 1975 season rolled around during all this, so the second Chuck actor was consequently fired. Ironically; when they did a 30th anniversary special of the show for ABC, both Gavan O'Herlihy and Randolph Roberts were invited back to the celebration; and hugged the entire cast. At that point Randolph Roberts said, "This feels like I'm finally coming home".
