Josh Saviano is a former award-winning
American actor who portrayed Paul Pfeiffer on
TV's The Wonder Years (1988-93).
In a relatively brief acting career, Josh
managed to attain a measure of television
immortality for his spot-on portrayal of
nerdy Paul Pfeiffer on TV's critically-acclaimed
The Wonder Years. Consistently ranked as
one of the best shows of the late 1980s,
the multi-award-winning series took a
nostalgic, yet honest look at a boy coming
of age in the 1960s. Paul Pfeiffer was the
best friend of the show's main character,
Kevin Arnold, played by actor Fred Savage.
At first glance, Pfeiffer could be viewed
as a stereotypical intelligent, bespectacled
nerd, who's allergic to practically everything.
But first-rate writing, directing and acting
elevated the part, and indeed the entire
series, to a level rarely seen on television.
Ironically, in the poignant closing moments
of the final episode, we discover that
Paul Pfeiffer later becomes an attorney,
just as Josh would.
Following his acting career, Josh attended
Yale University and Benjamin N. Cardozo
School of Law. He became an attorney
and practiced Corporate Law in New York
City with the Morrison Cohen law firm.

Error correction or clarification |
|
Numerous erroneous stories insist that Josh
is actually singer Marilyn Manson, or that
he is a member of the rock band of the same
name. This is most assuredly not true.
Josh himself addressed the issue, saying,
"yes, I am very much aware of [the rumor]... I
receive close to 20 emails a week asking me
if this is true... obviously, it's not, but
I enjoy the creativity of some people."
Fred Savage, who worked with Josh during the
entire run of The Wonder Years, also
addressed the issue, saying, "More people
have come up and asked me if Paul is in Marilyn
Manson lately than any other question. The
answer is NO! NO! NO! NO! Okay, maybe I'm
getting a little tired of that one."
For the record, after his acting days, Josh
became a lawyer and practiced Corporate Law
with the Morrison Cohen law firm in New York
City.
