Both Williams and Winkler starred in all 11 seasons of Happy Days, which ran from 1974 to 1984 on ABC. Williams played Warren "Potsie" Weber, alongside Winkler's Arthur Herbert Fonzarelli, known as "Fonzie."

After Happy Days ended in 1984, Anson worked behind-the-scenes as a producer and director in Hollywood. He has directed episodes of Baywatch, Beverly Hills, 90210, Star Trek: Voyager, and Deep Space Nine.

Happy Days is available to stream on Paramount+.
