Former teen heart-throb Baio is best remembered for his time at sitcom Happy Days, where he played Chachi, the love interest of Joanie Cunningham (Erin Moran). Yet years before, he was also the leader in the musical gangster film Bugsy Malone, based on how gangsters like Bugs Moran and Al Capone lived during prohibition in the 1920s. The twist of the movie was only child actors starred in it. One was Jodie Foster, a future Oscar winner. Fact: Over two thousand other children auditioned for Baio’s part.
