FRED SAVAGE No small wonder

Savage too young to wonder LOS ANGELES (AP) Fred Savage didn’t set out to become an actor, but now that he’s become quite successful at the age of 13 he’d like to stick to it. Fred, who was nominated for an Emmy for his lead role in ABC’s “The Wonder Years” but didn’t win, is a video game hustler in the upcoming movie release “The Wizard.” “I NEVER REALLY wanted to get into the business,” he says. “It was never a goal. It just happened.” It happened when he began doing commercials at age six in his hometown of Chicago, where he lives with his family when he’s not working. He made his film debut at age eight in the movie “The Boy Who Could Fly.” “I really enjoy acting,” Fred says, now that he is a veteran performer. “I’d like to continue it for a while. I do want to go to high school and college. I’d like to direct. On the set they call me ‘Little Opie,’ because Ron Howard started as a child actor and grew up to direct. He could be a role model for me. I’m always looking through the camera and checking angles. I want to learn all I can.” “The Wonder Years” is the kind of show that will grow with Fred. It made its debut in March 1988, and it has already changed to reflect that Fred, as Kevin Arnold, is maturing and facing different problems and challenges. “THE BEAUTY OF the show is that when my voice changes I can still do the show,” he says. “Even if I get zits.” The beauty is also that virtually everyone can identify with the adolescent traumas of Kevin, Paul, Winnie and his friends. The time period this season has advanced to 1969, but its stories and characters transcend time and place. “I see Kevin as just a typical kid growing up in the late 19605,” he says. “He’s very shy. He has a nonstop fear of the men in his family. His older brother’s always beating up on him and everyone’s afraid of his dad. “HE’S SORT OF insecure, especially around girls. But I think he’s a cool kid. He’s a normal kid. in 1969. This year he moves into the eighth grade and has trouble with algebra and the algebra teacher. This year his older brother has learned to drive.” His favorite episode is the one in which Kevin accompanies his father to his office. “It’s so true,” he says. “The exact thing didn’t happen to me but I went to my dad’s office. I was so impressed watching him work. I’d bring books to the office and copy the whole book on the copy machine.” Fred first got into acting when notices in his Chicago neighborhood asked for small children to audition for a television commercial. “The auditions were near our house and it sounded like fun,” he says. “So Mom and I went over. “I did commercials for about two years, then I got into movies. I did quite a few and I was in a TV series called ‘Morning Star, Evening Star.’ It only lasted six weeks. “I WAS CALLED IN to read for ‘The Wonder Years’ because the producers had seen me in the movie ‘Vice Versa.’ I flew to L.A. and read for the network. I guess they approved because I got the part.’ The show won the Emmy last year as best comedy series after just half of a season on the air. Fred never saw the Emmy telecast because he was asleep when the show came on. He was in North Carolina making the movie “Little Monsters.” His mother wouldn’t let him stay up.
