He Almost Wasn’t Cast as Mork on Mork & Mindy
A different actor was originally hired to play Mork on the February 1978 Happy Days episode “My Favorite Orkan,” but Anson Williams wasn’t having it. ““Mork & Mindy was like the worst script in the history of Happy Days. It was unreadable, it was so bad,” he said. “So they hire some guy for Mork—bad actor, bad part.” That’s when producer Gary Marshall stepped in.
