Donnie Most’s Ralph Malph was originally presented as Richie’s “cool” friend. However, once Fonzie broke out, Malph transitioned into the comic relief, and he often teamed with Potsie in a comedic duo. After he departed the show in season 7, Most went on to appear in numerous television and animated series, with roles often featuring references to his Happy Days past. In 2011, Most and several other cast members sued CBS for royalties.

9. Pat Morita

Morita played Matsuo “Arnold” Takahashi in early seasons of Happy Days and later returned for a few episodes near the series’ end. His biggest fame came after the series when he played Mr. Miyagi in the Karate Kid series. Morita appeared in many other television series and films before his death from kidney failure in 2005.

10. Al Molinaro

Molinaro broke into the acting industry in the late 60s and got his big break playing Murray Greshler on The Odd Couple. Creator Garry Marshall brought him into Happy Days to replace Morita as the owner of Arnold’s, and he appeared intermittently throughout the rest of the series. Following the show, Molinaro often appeared in reunion shows while playing off his past — most notably Weezer’s music video for “Buddy Holly” – before his passing in 2015.
