Bob Barry’s Unearthed Interviews Podcast: Scott Baio

You’ll detect, by his accent, that Scott Baio was born in Brooklyn, New York. He rocketed to fame as Chachi, the charming cousin of the Fonz on Happy Days. His chemistry with Joanie was so electric that it sparked the spin-off “Joanie Loves Chachi.” And let’s not forget his role as the ultimate live-in-babysitter in “Charles in Charge.” Later he stepped into the director’s chair and did some more acting, including a made for TV movie that was filmed in Madison. It’s a film that’s featured on YouTube. Scott said he loved filming in Wisconsin and working with state athletes. But he almost forgot his name during a quick promo at the end of the interview.
