The term papers make me more crazy, because they involve more variables I cannot directly control! With acting, I feel more power-like I'm making all the choices.
2
It is unfortunate that the poor judgment shown by a small group of young actors has tarnished the reputation of every child who has ever appeared before a camera.
3
I'd like to see myself married with a child and hopefully still involved in the entertainment business as an actor who is also able to write a bit and direct some projects.
4
I'd like to work with any actress from whom I can learn-one who has had many experiences with many directors and is willing to share some of her knowledge with me.
5
Now that I'm taking some time off from school, I've been reading a lot to make sure I don't forget everything. It's mostly classics and nonfiction accounts from actors, directors and writers from the '40s and '50s.
6
I promised to always bring up a glass of water to her before we go to bed, and she promised to never let me dress myself.
7
I think we all have a little dark side we keep under wraps.
8
It's hard to sleep at night because I'm still wondering where my mother is.
9
I think Kellie Martin, Reese Witherspoon and Claire Danes represent the future for women in film, and I would be honored to share the stage with any one of them.
10
I would suggest maintaining a life and a career outside the Industry. This is a fickle business and a lousy one to make a steady living in, so it's important to have a good family, friends, job and education to fall back on.
11
The only thing that frightens me a little is when I'm called Kevin rather than Fred, but that's how people have known me for so many years. So, I can't really blame them.
12
I am an English major in school with an emphasis in creative writing. I think hearing Maya Angelou speak at school last year was one of the best moments Stanford, at least, intellectually, had to offer.
13
Other acting opportunities had come along, but nothing that was tantalizing enough to me to step away from what I found most interesting.
14
I think it is important to maintain a sense of self and confidence, not letting either falter for the sake of a particular part or project, no matter how great it might be.
15
I love to unwind and watch movies, especially those from the classic black-and-white era.

After having not seen each other in over five years, Fred was reunited with his fellow The Wonder Years (1988) cast member Jason Hervey, who played his older brother Wayne when they did a guest spot on the animated series Justice League (2001) in the episode "Hawk & Dove." They played, of all things, bickering brothers who were also superheroes. It was originally intended that Jason would voice the older, more aggressive brother (Hank Hall/Hawk) while Fred voiced the younger, more docile brother (Don Hall/Dove) as they had done on The Wonder Years (1988), but during the voice-recording session, they switched roles unexpectedly, so Fred voiced the older brother while Jason voiced the younger brother.

He first met his wife, Jennifer Stone, where they were neighbors as children. Coincidently, he became famous for playing a character on The Wonder Years (1988) who has a childhood romance with his neighbor.
