Breakout Characters and Catch Phrases on TV

ID : 1124   
« back to classes page
ClassGraphic Ever wonder how an actor on a TV show goes from being just a regular cast member to becoming a breakout star who sometimes even eclipses the show itself. For example, when Happy Days was originally cast, the show was supposed to center around the only "name" in the cast: Ron Howard, who had played Opie on the Andy Griffith Show. And Happy Days turned into a star making vehicle for Henry Winkler as The Fonz, as did Moonlighting for Bruce Willis and ER for George Clooney, to name just a couple more. Also, if the breakout star is lucky (or, in some cases, unlucky!) stardom might come with a catch phrase, as Fonzie’s “Ayyy” or Jimmy Walker’s “Dyn-o-mite.” Try your luck at identifying some breakout stars and phrases. You might win some swag that Bob will be giving away from shows he worked on.
