Josh Saviano
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Josh Saviano (born March 31, 1976) is an American actor who played Kevin Arnold's best friend, Paul Joshua Pfeiffer, in the situation comedy, The Wonder Years.
His role in The Wonder Years was one of his few television or movie roles. Other roles were as Kid Belz in the movie The Wrong Guys in 1988 and Max Plotkin in the made-for-TV movie Camp Cucamonga in 1990. The latter was his last film or television role other than his role in The Wonder Years, which he played until the show's end in 1993. He also guest starred on the show, The Ray Bradbury Theatre in 1985 as Willie and on Reading Rainbow and Fun House as himself.
Similarities between Saviano's character Paul Pfeiffer and The Simpsons character Milhouse Van Houten can be made, both in terms of their appearance and their roles as the geeky side-kick friend to the protagonist.
Saviano majored in Political Science at Yale University where (after an extended and difficult trial period) he became president of Sigma Nu Fraternity. Upon graduation in 1998 he worked for a while as a paralegal for a New York City law firm. In 2000 he worked for an Internet firm before entering Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law in August of the same year.
A rumor circulated in the 1990s that he grew up to be the leader of the shock rock band Marilyn Manson. Manson began this rumor himself for sheer amusement (going so far as to hint towards it in his autobiography), and the band members played along.
Currently, Saviano is working as an attorney at Morrison Cohen LLP, in NYC. He is an avid fantasy sports player.
