Identical twins Tia and Tamera Mowry first broke into showbiz singing with girl group Voices, before breaking off on their own to appear in sitcom Sister, Sister. Popular among younger viewers, Sister, Sister ran from 1994 until 1999, after which the twins continued to pursue acting work independently of one another.
The Mowry sisters have reunited on screen since Sister, Sister, first with the Twitches movies for the Disney Channel, and later with reality TV series Tia and Tamera. In more recent years, Tamera made an appearance on TV’s The Masked Singer, whilst Tia has published a series of cookbooks.

Alongside Fred Savage and Danica McKellar, Josh Saviano was a familiar face to 90s TV audiences on The Wonder Years. A few years after the show ended, a bizarre urban legend emerged that the Paul Pfeiffer actor had grown up to become shock rocker Marilyn Manson. While this was patently untrue, Saviano has indeed forged a very different career path.
After studying political science at Yale, Saviano became a lawyer, and in 2018 he co-founded Spotlight Advisory Group. Still, Saviano hasn’t left acting behind completely, having appeared in a few episodes of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit between 2014 and 2016.
