(AP) ? Hold onto your hats ? Henry Winkler is heading to Broadway as a porn star.

The one-time "The Fonz" on "Happy Days" will star in David West Read's comedy "The Performers" alongside Cheyenne Jackson, who also plays an adult film actor.

Winkler will portray Chuck Wood, a legend in the porn industry, who gets entangled in the romantic problems of two young couples.
