Marilyn Manson on "The Wonder Years"

Fact: Marilyn Manson is a tall, pale, skinny dude who probably wasn't the most popular kid growing up. Fiction: Though bearing similar attributes, the shock rocker was never, ever, on "The Wonder Years." According to star Josh Saviano, who played Fred Savage's buddy Paul Pfeiffer on the hit TV show, this odd rumor started in 1996 and persisted for years. Today, Pfeiffer is a lawyer, while Manson is trying to reignite his career (and may or may not be dating buzzed-about singer Lana Del Rey).
