It’s raining stars at the upcoming Motor City Comic Con. And Henry Winkler is the latest celebrity to join the lineup.

The actor, comedian, director, producer and author will have appearances all three days of the event on May 17-19 at the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi.

The actor, best known for playing Arthur “Fonzie” Fonzarelli, the breakout character of the 1970s American sitcom “Happy Days,” will be hosting a panel Q&A and will be available for autographs and professional photo ops.

In addition to “Happy Days,” Winkler starred as Sy Mittleman on Adult Swim’s “Childrens Hospital,” and as Eddie R. Lawson on USA Networks’ “Royal Pains.” He also had notable guest-starring roles on “Arrested Development” as Barry Zuckerkorn and Dr. Saperstein on NBC’s “Parks and Recreation.”

In 2018, he began the role of as Gene Cousineaum an acting coach-turned-contract assassin, on the HBO comedy “Barry,” a role that won him an Emmy. 

“I wrote this 43 years ago,” Winkler said in his Emmy speech. “Entertainment lawyer Skip Brittenham “said to me a long time ago, if you stay at the table long enough, the chips come to you, and tonight I got to clear the table.”

“Barry” star and co-creator Bill Hader also picked up his own Emmy.
