Henry Winkler as Danny Zuko
Movie: Grease (1978)
Played by: John Travolta
It makes sense. The guy who made the leather biker jacket famous via his role asThe Fonz would be the cool guy choice for 50s era movies. Winkler didn’t want to spend his life typecast as the Greaser, so he passed. Good choice too. To this day he’s cooler than Travolta.
