EXCLUSIVE: Actor-turned-director/producer Fred Savage is setting his sights on development next. Savage has launched a production company and has signed a two-year overall deal with CBS TV Studios to develop new projects, which he will produce and direct. Savage, who burst into the scene as the child actor on The Wonder Years, went on to star on such series as Working and Crumbs before segueing into TV directing and recently expanding into producing too. He has directed more than 100 episodes of primetime series, most recently, ABC’s Modern Family and Happy Endings, and CBS 2 Broke Girls. Savage, repped by CAA and Karl Austen, served as director/producer on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and Party Down, and is currently executive producing and directing two projects at NBC, mid-season comedy series Best Friends Forever and an untitled Tommy Dewey/Greg Bratman project, now in development.

Im surprised this hasn’t happened sooner. Talented guy both in front and behind the camera. If this doesn’t get him Winnie, I don’t know what will. . .
hahaha, nice!
He’s come a long way since Kevin Arnold. “Daddy Day Camp” aside, good for him.
My kid did a game show pilot with him. He’s a good guy and really charming. Hope he does well
Well-deserved….his Always Sunny episodes are the BEST!
He was great in Princess Bride. Did his character arc of reluctant listener to end up being so involved in the story and demanding a happy ending where he wants to hear the kissing scene in a very funny and convincing way. Great chemistry with Peter Falk.
Loved that movie. He gave his character just the right feel. Talented guy.
Tabloids thrive daily on the downward spiral of so many child actors to get eyeballs; yet here is a shining example of one of the many success stories that include Ron Howard, Jason Bateman and so many others; Fred Savage.
Fred is not only an incredibly talented artist and proven success in front of and behind the camera, but also a shining example of a great husband and father.
Kudos to Fred and I look forward to seeing much more from his creative instincts and successes.
What’s the name of the company?
Just a shining example that despite a million excuses, there is no excuse for “child actors” like Lohan to not make the most of great opportunities and connections in tinseltown – Fred sure did. Kudos to him, wishing all the success in the world to the very talented fred!
Fred Savage is talented, charming, nice, and good looking. But he hasn’t had to deal with the same scrutiny that comes with being a huge success. I think he will do all right because people like him.
