Henry Winkler Reveals Turner & Hooch Firing Over On-Set Tension With Tom Hanks
Henry Winkler says in a Graham Bensinger interview that he was fired as Turner & Hooch’s director after 13 days because he talked too much and gave direction, a move he says he didn’t handle well and that devastated him; he notes the on-set tension with Tom Hanks has cooled over time and leaves room for a potential repair, reminding that Hanks and Winkler previously appeared together on Happy Days.
