Former “Wonder Years” star Fred Savage is – after spending umpteen years behind the camera, working as a director – returning to acting.
The actor’s first TV series role in over a decade looks to be Fox’s “The Grinder”, a new comedy pilot that would team Savage with fellow ’80s icon Rob Lowe.
The pilot, from Andrew Mogel, Nick Stoller and Jarrad Paul, will be directed by Jake Kasdan.
Deadline have this series on the promising-sounding series :
The Grinder stars Lowe as beloved TV lawyer Dean Sanderson (aka “The Grinder”). When his long-running hit series comes to an end, he finds himself at a crossroads in life and decides to move back to his small hometown thinking he has the experience to take over his family’s law firm where he butts heads with his brother, Stewart Sanderson (Savage). Stewart is a hard-working attorney and family man who feels very much in the shadow of his younger brother, Dean, a huge television star whose courtroom procedural show has just ended. When Dean comes back to his home town looking for a new direction in life, everyone is dazzled by his charm and celebrity — everyone except Stewart.
