Actor Fred Savage, who will forever be connected to cute-as-button Kevin Arnold from the Wonder Years, has done a great job avoiding the pitfalls of the child actor from Hollywood. While he hasn't gained as much fame from another role since Wonder Years, he also hasn't held up one single liquor store or starred in any soft porn, a true testament to his character.
In fact, he has made a career in all aspects of television and film, doing voice acting for several cartoons, starring in shows such as Crumbs and Working, as well as bit parts in Austin Powers 3 and The Rules of Attraction (Kevin Arnold shooting heroin? Hilarious!). More recently, he's gone behind the camera to direct episodes of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Aliens in America.
Now Savage will return to being in front of the camera in the new CBS pilot Single White Millionaire, says The Hollywood Reporter. Savage will play the lead, a wealthy man in his 30s looking to settle down.
After several supporting roles, blonde starlet Amy Smart is finally sitting in the front seat of a television show. Smart will headline The Meant to Be's, a CBS drama about recently deceased souls stuck in Purgatory who, in order to get to heaven, must help the living follow their destiny.
Smart was previously seen in the short-lived Smith, the action flick Crank, and caught most men's eyes for the first time in Road Trip.
Carpoolers' Jerry O'Connell is riding shotgun for an episode with Samantha Who?, says TVGuide.com. O'Connell will play "someone from Samantha's past" in the show, due to air April 28. ABC has yet to determine the fate of Carpoolers.
Elsewhere, Fox's Spaced (or "McSpaced" as those faithful to the source material call it) has rounded out its main players, adding MadTV alum Will Sasso in Nick Frost's role and Federico Dordei as a neighbor to the main characters.

This is a great little sit-com, and I am even a 36 year old guy, and my wife and I think this show is great, we watch it and can always get a number of laughs, and even cringe (with delight) at some of the awkward situations Samantha Who can get herself in.
haha awesome, hes cute!!
He hasn't changed much over the years!
good
lovermakerme is a bot, but his comment is s funny.Looks like this Fred Savage has changed his sex, but at least he has avoided soft porn and addictions :).
they're making a US spaced? oh my god!!! I usually dont mind american remakes, I love The US Office but Spaced?? The US just isn't going to get the humour!
Fred Savage is so hot, seems that i saw her profile appeared at__agemingle.com___ one age gap dating site for singles! is she single now?? why was she there???
I see Fred Savage's name for directing in quite a few shows - he's not sitting at home.
i ahve no idea who any of these people are...
That's weird, I visited the Crumbs and Smith guide in the last 12 hours before reading or having any knowledge of this.
I like Fred and Amy, so i'll give these a shot if the timeslots right.
So when are we going to get the Wonder Years on DVD? Great show...I miss Kevin Arnold. :)
Haven't seen Fred Savage in awhile, that might be cool. Now, Amy Smart -- I could get really excited for that one.
jerry and samantha who cool cool
wish him luck
Will have to wait and see about both on cbs will stay away from the one on fox though
I love him! I'll tune in.
I think Single White Millionaire will be good: good ol' CBS comedies!
Working was a great show. I'm not a big Amy Smart fan though...
