Wayne Arnold is a main character from the original show The Wonder Years. He is the son of Jack Arnold and Norma Arnold, the younger brother of Karen Arnold and the elder brother of Kevin Arnold. Throughout most of the series, Wayne grew up tormenting and annoying his younger brother Kevin, usually calling him "butthead" or "scrote". Despite this, the two had a very close relationship as brothers since they both shared the same bedroom for many years, until Wayne moved into Karen's former bedroom.
By the later seasons, Wayne slowly matures. In the final season, he begins a serious relationship with a divorcee named Bonnie but is later left heartbroken when she reconciles with her ex-husband. In the series finale, it is revealed that he takes over the family furniture business after his father dies in 1975.
He was portrayed in the show by Jason Hervey.
