*I believe Ben was born in 1980, not 1982.
*** Will is dating Jennifer Love Hewitt from PO5 and Rider also has a girlfriend. Maybe Ben does too, but I'm not sure.
Full Names: Ben Savage (Cory), Rider Strong (Shawn) & Will Friedle (Eric)
D.O.B.: Ben 9/13/82*, Rider 12/11/79 & Will 11/8/77
Status: All single***
Distuinguishing Marks: They're fast, funny and totally gorgeous.
So which one would be the boy in Boy Meets World?
That would be Cory (Ben Savage), but this is definately not a one-man show. Boy Meets World is
the No.1 rated show with American teenagers for at least three reasons: Cory, his best mate Shawn
and the totally gorgeous Will Friedle who plays Cory's big bruvva.
Sounds great. Tell me more...
Well...despite the fact they're always arguing (usually about girls!), Cory and Shawn have always
been best mates and off-screen the actors are best buddies too! In fact Ben and Rider are joint
Ambassadors of 'The Campaign For Tobacco-Free Kids'. Plus, they both have big bruvvas in the
business. Ben follows in the follows in the footsteps of his famous big bruv Fred (The Wonder
Years), while Rider runs a theatre company with his older bro, Shiloh
So, what's the world got in store for the boys?
Well, in the new series Cory and girlfriend Topanga start to get pretty serious while Shawn gets a
girlfriend of his own (even though Cory thinks she's trouble!). As for the actors, superstar-stardom
seems certain: Rider has written a play and Ben is set to break into movies. Not that they haven't
worked hard for it, Rider made his stage debut age nine and 15-year-old* Ben is allready a TV
veteran!
Okay, But what about Eric?
Aaah, Eric...what a sweetie, but unfortunately not blessed with too many brain cells! Poor lamb
never got into college, so in the new series he has had to make his way in the big bad world. Of
course, in real-life 20-year-old Will Friedle hasn't made the same mistake, he's been accepted into
the Los Angeles Univerity to study archaeology, but luckily he's chosen to defer while working on the
show. But if you want still more of Will look out for the upcoming feature film The Trojan War in
which he stars with Jennifer Love Hewitt from Party of Five.
