His father was the president of an international lumber company while his mother worked alongside his father. Winkler is a cousin of.Winkler grew up with 'a high level of low self-esteem.'
Throughout elementary school and high school, he struggled with academics. This was due to what he would later identify as dyslexia. His parents expected him to eventually work with them at the lumber company. However, he had other plans as he saw roles on stage as the key to his happiness.
Winkler's acting debut came in the eighth grade when he played the role of Billy Budd in the school play of the same name. Following his graduation from McBurney High School, Winkler was able to incorporate his learning disability and succeed in higher education.

He was given the role of high school dropout and greaser Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli.

However, the character became extremely popular with viewers, and the show's producers decided to give Fonzie a more prominent role in the series.Following this, the show's ratings began to soar, and Fonzie became a 1970s icon and the epitome of cool. His motorcycle, leather jacket, thumbs-up gesture, and uttering of the phrase 'Aayyyy!' Became television trademarks.
