Jason Hervey arrived on the Wonder Years set with "a Rolex and a Corvette, even though he couldn't drive," remembers his Wonder Years mom, Alley Mills. "He was a real wheeler-dealer and a little devil." What the hyperconfident Hervey, now 28, didn't have was a pal in TV brother Savage, whom he tortured weekly onscreen as the obnoxious Wayne. "He was a Mr. Know-It-All, and I was like, 'You're 10!' " says Hervey. "The first half of the first season, it was hard for me to separate Jason from Wayne," admits Savage. Throughout the show's run, Hervey provided some unforgettable moments. "Jason would drive us around on his Harley," says castmate Josh Saviano, "and they would yell at him, 'Don't take the kids on the bike! Don't kill the talent!' " Within a few TV movies of Wonder Years' demise, Hervey changed careers. Married to second wife Shannon, 30, and the father of 3-month-old twins Shaina and Samuel (and stepdad to Shannon's son, Tyler, 10), Hervey is now copartner of a company that produces TV movies and videos for World Championship Wrestling. "It wasn't until we both got a little older that Jason and I got along very, very well," says Savage. They still do. At 12:01 a.m. on July 9, 1997, Savage's 21st birthday, "I took him out for his first legal drink," Hervey says. "I got him a shot of Tequila and some beers. People were completely freaking out, going, 'Look! Look! They're together!' It was pretty neat." |
