He may be known as one of the biggest brats on television, but Jason Hervey was nothing like his character.
Despite their age difference, he would often drive Savage and Saviano around in his car and introduce them to his friends. He was the ideal older brother figure for the boys!
Favorite Episodes
Even though he only appeared in 12 episodes, Ben Stein must have had an impact on the kids on set.
When Savage, McKellar, and Saviano were asked what their favorite episode to film was, they all had the same answer. Any episode filmed with Stein! Clearly, he’s not anything like the teacher he played on the show.
Lauria Pushed the Kids to Study Film
Lauria played more than just a father on the show, as he made sure to have a positive influence on the kids behind the scenes.
Savage has recalled times in between filming when Lauria would encourage him to watch classic films and read plays. He made sure to educate Savage and the other kids on set on the history of performance and working in entertainment.
McKellar Disagrees With Fan Theories
While most fans of the show believe Winnie and Kevin were intimate in some of the show’s final scenes, McKellar disagrees. After getting caught in a storm during the final episode, Kevin and Winnie take shelter in a barn. They start kissing, but what happens next is left up to the viewer’s imagination.
While most fans believe Kevin and Winnie had intercourse, actress McKellar doesn’t agree. In a recent interview after seeing the clip, McKellar said, "We look like babies! No, they just cuddled!"
Fake Glasses
Saviano’s glasses worn throughout the series were actually fake! While the actor certainly doesn’t have 20/20 vision, he has been wearing contacts since he was a child and continued to do so while filming.
We do get to see Paul without his glasses on the show as he matures and grows as a character, leaving his nerdy persona in the past.
