Henry Winkler, best known for his role as Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzarelli on the hit sitcom "Happy Days," opened up about a guest star who did not fit in well with the cast during the show's run from 1974 to 1984.

Speaking at a recent fan expo in Tennessee, the 80-year-old actor emphasized the strong sense of camaraderie on the "Happy Days" set, noting, "on our set, there was no stardom."

Winkler recounted that one guest star, who appeared multiple times and portrayed a character named Eugene, repeatedly boasted about his fan mail. Winkler responded, “You don’t want to talk to me about fan mail, I got 50,000 letters a week,” and explained that such talk was discouraged on set because "we are all here as one."

Despite Winkler's warnings, the guest star continued the behavior, leading Winkler to describe him as "an a--back." Although Winkler did not name the actor, he made clear that this attitude was out of place in the ensemble-driven environment of the show.

After "Happy Days," Winkler enjoyed a successful career with roles in films like "The Waterboy," "Holes," and "Click," and earned a Golden Globe nomination for "Heroes." Recently, Winkler filmed his first nude scene for the third season premiere of "Loot."
