We all know what happened to Winnie Cooper -- she grew up and published books about how awesome math is. Kevin Arnold? He did a little acting here and there, then got a Razzie nomination for his notable direction of "Daddy Day Camp." But whatever happened to Paul Pfeiffer, Kevin's best friend on "The Wonder Years," a nerdy kid with a goofy sister who was allergic to virtually everything except the flirtations of one Carla Healey? Did he really turn into Marilyn Manson, as pop culture legend would have us all believe?

Um ... no. Paul, otherwise known as actor Josh Saviano, first got America's attention by starring in ABC's beloved comedy, where he got to do cool things like pretend he was Spock in a "Wonder Years" parody of "Star Trek":

After "Years" ended in 1993, Saviano moved on with his life, attending Yale University and majoring in political science. He later went to law school and passed the New York bar.

So where is he now? He's a corporate lawyer at Morrison Cohen LLP in New York. Seriously, his profile is listed on their Web site, complete with his e-mail address and phone number. But please, don't leave him messages asking to verify that he's really not Marilyn Manson. Pfeiffer deserves his privacy. After all, he wound up on the rich, not rehab, side of the child star equation, as you can see below:
