Many stars from the prolific show “The Wonder Years” kept working in Hollywood after the series wrapped in the early 1990s. Dan Lauria, who portrayed Kevin’s tough-as-nails dad, Jack Arnold, has maintained steady TV work over the years, appearing on shows like “Hot in Cleveland,” “Shameless,” “NCIS” and “Criminal Minds” to name a few (via IMDb).
Likewise, Alley Mills, A.K.A. Norma Arnold, secured series regular roles on shows like “Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman” and “The Bold and the Beautiful.” Danica McKellar, who won a place in our hearts playing Winnie Cooper, has gone on to appear in Hallmark movies among other television projects.
Of course, as fans know, McKellar also has a graduate degree in mathematics from UCLA and has authored a New York Times bestselling series of math books for kids (via McKellar Math). Her fellow academic from “The Wonder Years” holds a law degree. As you may have guessed, the actor we speak of played a bit of a bookworm on the show.
