How Billy Warlock got his role on Happy Days

Do you remember Billy Warlock on Happy Days? He played Flip Phillips and was most remembered for his cut off tops. Before he was on Happy Days, he was actually in the spin-off series Mork & Mindy as Robin Williams‘ stunt double!

If you watch the episode “Dueling Skates,” you could get a glimpse of Billy as he appears as the stunt double during Robin Williams’ scenes. Both Mork & Mindy and Happy Days were produced by Garry Marshall and he was impressed with Billy’s work.
