I like Fred Savage because he involves very much in the roles he plays and he is authentic. Fred Savage portrays the characters very well and he picks the films that resonate with his personality. He received many Golden Globe and Emmy nominations, even if he was only a teenager at that time, but very talented. The actor does not have to be perceived as one that was successful only once, as later he had roles in multiple films or was a guest actor, so he continued developing his career, trying to have great results. I like the way he acts and it is obvious that only a sensitive person could do that and live each role at its maximum. His talent started since he was a kid and all his life was dedicated to acting and making films, which implies many efforts, talent and is also a complex activity.

Fred Savage on Wonder Years brought that period of time back to life for all viewers of the show. His portrayal of Kevin Arnold reminded people of the good and the bad of the 1960′s. Yet, Kevin Arnold was not just about modern history, the character was also vehicle for a young Savage to explore youth, friendship, and love.

The show was a critical and audience success with Savage in the lead role. Critically, Fred Savage’s portrayal earned him Golden Globe and Emmy nominations at age thirteen. That makes him the youngest actor to be nominated for the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series. The audience was large enough that the show ran six years and was in the top ten shows for two seasons.

The character Kevin Arnold also had two close friends that made for the stories of the series. There was his best friend Paul and love interest Winnie. Fred Savage on Wonder Years did a great job working with Josh Saviano (Paul) and Danica McKellar (Winnie), that as a trio they memorable as any other cast in television history.

It was not until many years had passed before Fred got another movie role however during this time he was growing up and being the biggest single child star on the series the Wonder Years. Later in 1996 he again appeared in his next movie which was titled No One Would Tell. The next year was a comedy appearance in A Guy Walks into a Bar however in 1998 he chose to be one of the characters in the Jungle Book Story. Four years later Fred received his next opportunity to appear in a movie however this was not the greatest of roles. He started out that year as a character who was a small role and a junkie which really did little for his credibility. In 2004 he starred in a bigger role in the series Mooseport while the same year he also got a spot in the movie The Last Run.
