He then appeared onscreen in The Boy Who Could Fly, Dinosaurs!, and several television shows, including The Twilight Zone and Crime Story before gaining national attention as the grandson in the 1987 film The Princess Bride opposite Peter Falk.

In 1988, Savage starred in his most well-known role as Kevin Arnold on the comedy-drama television series The Wonder Years, which earned him two Golden Globe nominations for Best Actor – Television Series Musical or Comedy{{Cite web |title=Winners & Nominees |url=https://goldenglobes.com/winners-nominees/ |access-date=2025-03-28 |website=Golden Globes |language=en-US}} and two Primetime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series.{{cite web |title=Fred Savage Emmy Nominated |url=http://www.emmys.com/celebrities/fred-savage |access-date=March 22, 2013 |publisher=Emmys.com}} At the age of thirteen, he was the youngest actor ever to receive these honors. He remained on the show until it ended in 1993. During this period, he appeared in several films, most notably Vice Versa (1988), and also starred in Little Monsters and The Wizard. After The Wonder Years ended, Savage returned to high school at age 17, and later attended Stanford.

In July 2008, Savage guest-starred in the web series The Rascal on Crackle.{{cite web|first=Sarah|last=Ricard|title=International Espionage and Comedy with 'The Rascal'|publisher=Tilzy.TV|url=http://news.tubefilter.tv/2008/08/12/international-espionage-and-comedy-with-the-rascal/|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120702232309/http://news.tubefilter.tv/2008/08/12/international-espionage-and-comedy-with-the-rascal/|url-status=dead|archive-date=July 2, 2012|date=August 12, 2008|access-date=March 2, 2009}}

His credits include Zoey 101, Drake & Josh, Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide and Big Time Rush for Nickelodeon, as well as That's So Raven, Hannah Montana, and Wizards of Waverly Place for Disney Channel. Additionally, Savage has directed for prime-time network sitcoms including Modern Family and 2 Broke Girls.

Besides directing several episodes, Savage co-produced the Disney Channel Original Series Phil of the Future. In 2007, he was nominated for a Directors Guild award for the Phil episode "Not-So-Great-Great Grandpa".

Savage has served as a producer for several episodes of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Friends with Benefits, Party Down, Phil of the Future, The Crazy Ones, and Happy Endings.

In 1993, Savage, then 16, and his Wonder Years co-star Jason Hervey were accused of sexual harassment in a lawsuit filed by the show's former costume designer. Monique Long alleged the young actors "verbally and physically harassed her daily," with her complaints over their behavior ignored by the show's staff. The lawsuit was settled out of court.{{cite magazine |last=Trepany |first=Charles |date=May 6, 2022 |title= Fred Savage Fired from 'The Wonder Years' Over 'Multiple' Misconduct Claims|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/tv/tv-news/fred-savage-fired-the-wonder-years-misconduct-1349495/|magazine=Rolling Stone |access-date=May 7, 2022}}{{cite web |last=Rowles |first=Dustin |date=May 6, 2022 |title= Revisiting 'The Wonder Years' Sexual Harassment Lawsuit During the MeToo Movement|url=https://www.pajiba.com/tv_reviews/whats-the-deal-with-the-the-wonder-years-sexual-harassment-lawsuit.php|work=Pajiba |access-date=January 29, 2018}}
