Josh Saviano on AllMovie

American character actor Josh Saviano is perhaps best known for his series-long portrayal of Paul Pfeiffer, the geeky, bespectacled pal of Kevin Arnold (Fred Savage) on the period comedy drama The Wonder Years (1988-1993). Off-camera, he and Savage reportedly developed a fast friendship that mirrored their dramatic roles. Upon finishing the series, Saviano attended Yale, then entered and graduated from law school, largely abandoning his acting career. According to Saviano, rumors reportedly persisted for years that he and controversial rocker Marilyn Manson were one and the same -- an urban legend without any basis in reality, but one that Saviano, by all accounts, found extremely amusing.
