Anson Williams was born Anson William Heimlich on September 25, 1949, in Los Angeles, California, is an American actor and singer. He is most well-known for his performance in Happy Days (1974-1984), where he played the role of Warren "Potsie", a charming and well-intentioned singer. But his appearances diminished in the subsequent seasons. In a few episodes, Richie, Potsie, and Ralph formed a band combo which performed at Arnold's Drive-In and other locations. Williams was the singer as Potsie. Williams's first wife, Lorrie Mahaffey, portrayed Potsie's girlfriend, Jennifer, in later seasons.After Happy Days, Williams embarked on a far greater career as a TV director and producer, beginning with short shows that targeted children aged 12 to 18, including after-school programming like "No Greater gift" (1985) as well as "The Drug Knot" (1986) and television-movies like Lone Star Kid (1986).Despite his successes as a director and producer, Williams has occasionally returned to his work on Happy Days in retrospective ways.
