As Paul Pfeiffer on The Wonder Years, Josh Saviano was distinctly known as the lifelong best friend of lead character Kevin Arnold (Fred Savage). He was Jewish and was allergic to many substances, which occasionally added comic relief to the show. Despite being a bit geeky, he remained to be a loyal companion and an excellent student. For the most part, he shared many joyful experiences, as well as heartbreaking moments with Kevin during his teenage years. In the last episode of the series, it was revealed that he went to pursue law at Harvard, which was a little similar to what happened in the actor's real life.
