Fred Savage | Actor and Filmmaker| $14 Million

Who can forget Fred Savage’s performance in the series, The Wonder Years? The show had a successful run from 1988 to 1993 and allowed the actor to become a household name. Did you know that despite starting as a child actor, who made his debut at nine years old, Savage still managed to squeeze in his studies? That notion can’t be further from the truth, and he’s got his Bachelor’s degree in English to prove it.

When he returned to Hollywood, however, he became a filmmaker. After his first directing gig on the sitcom Working, Savage decided to learn more about the job by observing the production process of Disney’s Even Stevens. By that point, more projects came to Savage’s doorstep. Through the years, he has directed episodes of Boy Meets World, What I Like About You, That’s So Raven, Phil of the Future, Ned’s Declassified, and Drake & Josh.
