I would agree.
Henry Winkler will always be the Fonz. He did nothign to change that.
I think everyone for sure remembers him mainly as this, but as far as the OP's question, I think it fits. Outside of Happy Days, I mainly think of him for Waterboy, which he was pretty much the exact opposite of the Fonz, which was probably on purpose. Then I think of Barry, Arrested Development, Scream, and Parks and Rec. None of those resemble the Fonz much at all. I can't really think of another "cool guy/casanova" role he's played.
Edit: I guess his character in Barry was a bit of a ladies man for an older guy.

The Fonz being a cultural icon of the time and suave, charming, and all that goes with it - to the Barry Zuckerkorn’s of the world.
