During an hourlong chat at his Los Angeles home, Henry Winkler does impressions of George Foreman, Terry Bradshaw and William Shatner (his co-stars in the new NBC reality series 'Better Late Than Never,' premiering at 9 p.m. Tuesday), walks like a ninja who suddenly sports jazz hands and improvises a scene as the intolerant acting coach he plays in a new HBO comedy. The 70-year-old entertainer is visibly animated as he discusses his career, which spans four decades and counting. But the overriding vibe from the former Fonz is one of gratitude. 'I live by tenacity and gratitude,' he said. 'I am grateful for every inch of earth that I tread on in my life.' Acting remains a passion.

Winkler is also a successful author of children's books and travels the country as a motivational speaker. And he's a doting grandfather of four.

His current television endeavor is 'Better Late Than Never.' The four-episode reality series follows Winkler, Foreman, Bradshaw, Shatner and comedian Jeff Dye on various cultural and culinary adventures in Asia. As an executive producer, Winkler helped assemble the quintet, who barely knew one another before embarking on the 35-day trip through Japan, Korea, Hong Kong and Thailand. But talk about your bonding experiences: Together, they appeared on a Japanese game show, studied with samurai warriors, danced in a K-pop video and befriended elephants at an animal sanctuary. Now 'it's friends for life,' Winkler said. 'It might have been the trip of a lifetime.' Henry Winkler stars with George Foreman, Terry Bradshaw and William Shatner in NBC's 'Better Late Than Never,' a four-episode reality series documenting their 35-day trip through Japan, Korea, Hong Kong and Thailand.
