Who is Ben Savage?

Ben Savage is an American actor who has acted in several films, television serials, TV-movies, and plays. Though he made his first TV appearances at the age of five when he featured in some television commercials, his acting career started when he was an eight-year-old.

He gives all credit for his successful career in acting to his brother, Fred, as he had made his film debut in his brother’s movie ‘Little Monsters’, which was a big hit. Ben had said in an interview that both he and his brother being in the same profession and living under the same roof helped each other. They never had any rivalry. A few years ago, Ben took a three-year break from acting in both film and TV, and just made a guest appearance in the TV series ‘Still Standing’ as Seth Cosella during this period.
