All of us go through at least a brief stage in our teenage years where we feel awkward in our appearances and awkward in our outlook on life - it's part of growing up. The cast of 'The Wonder Years' went through that process in front of our eyes, with the characters played by the cast often going through the same things as the people playing them. Josh Saviano, in his role as Paul, may have been the most awkward of them all.
Much in the same way as we've seen plenty of former actors turn to writing, there also seem to be a disproportionate amount of them turning to law. Maybe it's the performance aspect of being in court that appeals to them? In any event, Saviano is another child star who took and passed the bar. He studied at Yeshiva University before going back home to New York to work as a lawyer.
