Articles on Rider

Teen Bedrooms

This is from a resent issue of People Magazine. There were articles on many actors and actresses and their homes. This is about Rider's bedroom. There was even a picture of it. Too bad I don't have a scanner, or I'd put it up here.


When working on his ABC sitcom Boy Meets World, Rider Strong, 17, lives in an L.A. loft, but the rest of the time he chills out with friends in his attic nook at his parents' redwood home north of San Francisco. "They all sit around and play games," says his father, King, a San Francisco firefighter. "The next thing you know, it's 3 a.m. and they crash wherever they are."
Rider, who also shares the house with mom Lin, a retired schoolteacher, and brother Shiloh, 18, says, "L.A. is where I am an adult and here I'm still a youth. I love coming home." Here, he writes poetry on his laptop computer and communicates with his fans via his personal Web site. He decks the gray walls with his collection of swords and rapiers ("I've always been obsessed with medieval stuff," he says), a photo of gal pal actress Rachael Leigh Cook*, 17, and a map of the U.S. ("I put in red pins where I've been and green pins everywhere I'm going to go").
And Rider is constantly scoping out new acquisitions for his collection of first-edition books, including a signed copy of John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men. "That's my most prized possession," he says.
