Warren “Potsie” Weber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Warren “Potsie” Weber was played by Anson Williams on the sitcom Happy Days. He was a friend of Richie CunninghamRalph Malph, who often spent time at Arnold’s Drive In. He was characterized as not being very bright, somewhat gullible, socially clumsy, and in modern hindsight, very “square”. An enthusiastic singer, he was frequently called a nerd by friends and acquaintances. Potsie’s extremely sour relationship with his dad, (never seen on camera), was a minor running joke on the series, with lines such as “I’m gonna talk to my dad too… it will be the first time in six months!” and
Initially at the start of the series, he appeared with best friend Richie in the plots and appeared to be more savvy than Richie, a character trait that would be dropped by the writers. As the series progressed, and with the breakout character Arthur “Fonzie” Fonzarelli becoming close friends with Richie, Postie was more commonly paired with Ralph in stories, even more so when the pair rented an appartment together upon leaving high-school.
