80. He was on two real series and did Charles in Charge

He joined Happy Days in its later years, yet I've met no one who can really explain what he brought to the show, other than another character and because daughter Joanie's cuteness factor was going because she was getting older.
Joanie Loves Chachi just sucked. Never watched an episode, but never met anyone who liked it
He was in Charles in Charge which to me sucked
He did Diagnosis Murder with Dick van Dyke which was okay
I've never seen his name associated with any successful, or marginally successful movie
