The actor, who starred as Chachi in the ‘70s sitcom"Happy Days," is coming forward after his co-star said he made some "disappointing" comments about the cast reuniting to help financially support Democrats running for office in Wisconsin, where the show was set.
"Entertainment shouldn’t be political, especially when it comes to legacy shows like ‘Happy Days’ that have such a powerful place in the hearts of so many Americans," Baio, 60, told Fox News in a written statement on Wednesday.
"Invoking the show’s name to support a candidate for office was just wrong, in my opinion," he continued. "That doesn’t change how much I love Donny, Henry [Winkler] and the rest of the crew from ‘Happy Days.’ I just wish they had thought this all the way through."
