She was the object of a generation of adolescent boys' affections, and now, she'll be the object of a bunch of rabid predators' hungry cravings.
Danica McKellar, she who stole Kevin Arnold's heart in "The Wonder Years," will take some time off from her successful career as a youth math advocate to star in "Tasmanian Devil," a made-for-tv film on SyFy. The Hollywood Reporter relays that she'll be joined by Olympic speed skater Apolo Anton Ohno in the story of base jumpers who invade Tasmanian national park and get chased by crazed beasts wishing to tear them apart.
So, in other words, it's the strangest TV movie you'll see next year.
McKellar has continued acting since "The Wonder Years" ended, doing voice work and featuring in TV shows such as "Inspector Mom" and "Young Justice." She'll appear in 2012 in "Mancation" and "Flatland 2: Sphereland."

It’s Kind of a Funny Story is an enjoyable comedy directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, who were responsible for the quirky drama Half Nelson, and stars Zach Galifianakis, Emma Roberts, Keir Gilchrist, and Viola Davis.
Adapted from Ned Vizzini’s 2006 novel, and directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck (both directed Sugar & Half Nelson), this film follows the teenage dramas and emotions of 16 year old Craig (Keir Gilchrist) as he checks himself into Brooklyn’s 3 North, an adult psychiatric ward, suffering from the pressures of adolescent life. A workaholic father, looming college application, love and personal shortcomings in the shadow of his awesome best friend Aaron (Thomas Mann – Inspector Mom) all contribute to Craig’s decision to section himself for the night. When the hospital’s minimum stay of five days is revealed, Craig isn’t so sure of his decision – but by then it’s too late!
