      Yes, he was a humble & generous actor. For example, when Happy Days got started, it looked like his character Richie would be central. As Fonzie came more to to the foreground, Ron had no problem sharing more screentime with Henry Winkler. Ron was more interested in the quality of the ensemble than he was with being a star.
