On this page is a "what if" picture. Micky's head it too big for this one of What-if Happy Days, but heck, someone at least tried.

It would be great if Micky did his over-the-top hyperactive comedy routine when portraying a villain. Now that would be something to see!

I don't think Micky would have made a good Joker in Batman. Jack Nicholson sort of nailed that.

However,

I think if they wanted a villain for a future Superman movie, He would be great as the Toyman.

Superman has so many cool villians too. I'm kind of tired of them using Lex Luthor all the time.

Well personally I'm kind of glad Micky didn't get the part. I love Micky don't get me wrong; however, the character Fonzie was could have tarnished Micky's career too (If people perceived him the wrong way as some have perceived the Fonzie character as being a not so nice person).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In Micky's book he talked about how Henry made a comment to him about seeing Micky there to audition for the part.

Micky as a villain in one of the Batman films would of been neat to see. I could of seen Micky alongside Arnold.

Hmm...didn't Micky also almost get considered for the role of the Joker on a Batman movie? And then Jim Carrey got it in the end, cuz the director changed. Imagine Micky as the Joker, he woulda been a good one, imho, but Carrey did the part really good, too, eh?

I did some research on any existing footage or pictures from Micky's screentest for that role,but came up with nothing. Oh well,it was worth a try.

I wondered about this myself, it is a fascinating "what if". I do think that Henry Winkler was so right for that role, but one does wonder how well Micky could have done it, had he landed the role. Just hard to say.

I think Henry's interpretation of The Fonz was from the character he played in the movie "The Lords of Flatbush". At least somewhat.
I wonder if there is any pictures or footage existing of Micky's screentest for the Fonz?

*laughs*at the thought of travolta saying "life is like a box of chocolate. I don't think the movie would have been as good with Travolta in it.(other then the fact I personally don't think he is a good actor).

I agree Jilly, though Micky could have made it his own. (alot of what fonzie became is only because Henry put his 2 cents in).

As much as I love our Mickster, Henry was the right choice for the Fonz. We all know how amazing he is as the Fonz. I am also just a firm believer that the right roles go to the right people.
Not to get too lengthy, there are lots of actors/roles I could list, but a great example that I heard recently was Tom Hanks and his Forrest Gump role. I heard that John Travolta turned the role down. Now, I happen think that Tom Hanks IS Forrest Gump and nobody else could've done the same justice to...

I kind of have to clear something up for those people who do not know,but there are a few,that Micky Dolenz did indeed audition for the role of The Fonz in 1973,but he lost to Henry Winkler.

And it would of been a unique challenge for Micky. He's great at the style of comedy "Happy Days" was,but The Fonz was really serious in the first two seasons of that show,then became more lighthearted. It would of been interesting to see Micky do that.

Yes this is true, but I think Micky would have been a cool Fonz with his own unique gifts as well.

I remember years ago reading about how Micky auditioned for the role of The Fonz on "Happy Days". I love Henry Winkler in that role,but I often wonder how Micky would of interpreted that character?
