See the Cast of ‘The Wonder Years’ Then and Now

Then: Thanks to his role as the grandson in 'The Princess Bride,’ Fred Savage was already pretty well known when he began playing every-boy Kevin Arnold on the ‘The Wonder Years.’ During that time period he also starred in the movie ‘Little Monsters.’ After a break for college, Savage made his sitcom return on NBC's ‘Working.'

Now: Despite a few aborted attempts at more sitcom acting glory and a couple of memorable movie turns in ‘The Rules of Attraction’ and ‘Austin Powers in Goldmember,' the bulk of Savage’s adult career has been behind the camera. The 36-year-old is a sought-after TV director who’s helmed multiple episodes of ‘Modern Family,’ ‘It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia,’ ‘Party Down’ and ‘2 Broke Girls,’ among many others.

Then: Lauria was old-school dad Jack Arnold on 'The Wonder Years.' The show was the big break for the Vietnam vet, who had a long resume of guest roles on ’80s TV shows such as 'Cagney & Lacey,' 'Head of The Class' and 'Hill Street Blues.'

Now: In 2010, Lauria got widespread acclaim for portraying coach Vince Lombardi in the Broadway play 'Lombardi.' He currently stars as Jack Sullivan (yup, another Jack, but this one really isn't that old school) on the TBS sitcom 'Sullivan & Son.'

Then: Alley Mills was Norma Arnold, everyone's favorite wholesome sitcom mom. Mills was already a TV veteran and in 1979 she had starred opposite the then-unknown Martin Short in the legal sitcom 'The Associates.'

Now: Since 2006, Mills has played Pamela Douglas on the soap opera 'The Bold And the Beautiful.' She is married to actor and game show guest extraordinaire Orson Bean.

Then: All the little brothers in the audience cringed when Jason Hervey’s bullying Wayne Arnold character appeared on screen. (Although Wayne did mellow in later seasons.) Previously, Hervey had played small roles in movies like 'Back to School,' 'Pee Wee’s Big Adventure' and 'Back to the Future.'

Now: These days, Hervey is a producer, concentrating on reality shows such as 'Hardcore Pawn: Chicago' and 'Big Easy Brides.' He is also known for his work with fellow teen-actor Scott Baio, producing both 'Scott Baio is 45 … and Single' and the more recent Baio project 'See Dad Run.' Harvey remains close friends with Fred Savage (the pair voiced superheroes Hawk and Dove on the 'Justice League' cartoon), so we guess all the on-camera torture was forgiven.

Then: As Kevin's best friend Paul Pfeiffer, Saviano cemented his status as one of TV's most memorable geeks. His only other notable acting appearance was in the TV movie 'Camp Cucamonga.'

Now: Rumors about Saviano’s whereabouts have swirled for years, including one that claimed he had gone on to became shock rocker Marilyn Manson. In truth, Saviano quit acting to go to Yale (whereas on ‘The Wonder Years,’ Paul ended up at Harvard) and later law school. He is currently a senior counsel with the law firm Morrison Cohen.

Then: The name Winnie Cooper evokes strong emotions in any young man who came of age between 1988 and 1993. Danica McKellar played Kevin Arnold’s on-again, off-again girlfriend in what was her first major screen role. She also starred in the Chuck Norris film ‘Sidekicks.'

Now: McKellar does a few of the voices on the animated series 'Young Justice.' She also just starred in the TV movie 'Tasmanian Devils.' A math whiz who graduated summa cum laude from UCLA, McKellar has long been an advocate for more girls getting into math and has authored four popular books on the subject, including 'Girls Get Curves: Geometry Takes Shape.'

Then: You surely remember Olivia d’Abo as rebellious  hippy Arnold daughter Karen. The British-born actress was 15-years-old when she made her film debut, portraying Princess Jehnna in 1984's 'Conan the Destroyer.' After 'Wonder Years,' d'Abo starred in movies such as ‘The Big Green’ and 'Kicking and Screaming.'

Now: D’Abo’s most prominent post-'Wonder Years' TV role is probably as recurring villain Nicole Wallace on 'Law & Order: Criminal Intent.' She is also set to appear in the movie 'Paganini: The Devil's Violinist.'

Then: Ribisi was brought on to play Kevin's buddy Jeff Billings for the last two seasons of 'The Wonder Years.' He already had a pretty impressive TV resume, as a series regular on 'Davis Rules' and 'My Two Dads.'

Now: Recent Ribisi movies include 'Gangster Squad' and 'Ted,' and he is set to star opposite Malin Akerman in the crime thriller 'I Fought The Law.' Fun fact: Ribisi's twin sister Marissa, who was in 'Dazed and Confused,' is married to singer/songwriter Beck. Extra fun fact: They're all Scientologists.

Then: That voice you heard narrating all of 'The Wonder Years' episodes belonged to Daniel Stern. Stern got his start in the 1979 movie 'Breaking Away' and became famous thanks to his prominent roles in the 'City Slickers' and 'Home Alone' franchises.

Now: Stern was last seen on an episode of 'Workaholics.' When he’s not acting, the 55-year-old is an artist who focuses on bronze sculptures.
