He first met his wife, Jennifer Stone, where they were neighbors as children. Coincidently, he became famous for playing a character on "The Wonder Years" who has a childhood romance with his neighbor.

After having not seen each other in over five years, Fred was reunited with his fellow "The Wonder Years" cast member Jason Hervey , who played his older brother Wayne when they did a guest spot on the animated series "Justice League" in the episode "Hawk & Dove." They played, of all things, bickering brothers who were also superheroes. It was originally intended that Jason would voice the older, more aggressive brother (Hank Hall/Hawk) while Fred voiced the younger, more docile brother (Don Hall/Dove) as they had done on "The Wonder Years" , but during the voice-recording session, they switched roles unexpectedly, so Fred voiced the older brother while Jason voiced the younger brother.
