"Lauria became a household name through The Wonder Years, which ran from 1988 to 1993 and remains one of the most acclaimed shows of its era. Starring Fred Savage as Kevin Arnold and narrated by Daniel Stern, the series won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series after only six episodes and earned a Peabody Award for redefining what a sitcom could be."
"Though his on-camera appearances have slowed, Lauria has stayed busy in the theater. He currently stars in the new play Just Another Day, which he also wrote, performing alongside Patty McCormack. Directed by Eric Krebs, the two-hander follows a comedy writer and a sophisticated poet in their seventies who meet daily on a park bench to trade barbs, reminisce about old Hollywood and - despite memory lapses - rediscover the bond between them."
