About Josh Saviano

Joshua David 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. His first television appearance was a one-liner role in a commercial for Aim toothpaste. 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 Theater in 1989 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.
