The same year he landed his second series, Strong and his family founded Redwood Shire Productions to develop projects for the young actor and his older brother Shiloh.īenefit of the Doubt Photos BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT, Donald Sutherland, Amy Irving, Rider Strong, 1993, (c)Miramax Films Girl Meets World, from left: Rowan Blanchard, Ben Savage, Sabrina Carpenter, Rider Strong, 'Girl Meets Mr. He eventually found fame as Shawn, the best friend and sidekick to Ben Savage, on the ABC sitcom "Boy Meets World" (ABC, 1993-2000). Within three years, he had landed his first small screen roles in the TV-movie "The Long Road Home" (NBC) and as a guest shot on the sitcom "Going Places." He soon found steady work on TV, appearing on such family fare as "Empty Nest," "Evening Shade" and "Home Improvement." Strong won his first regular series role as Julie Andrews' son on the short-lived sitcom "Julie" (ABC, 1992) before segueing to the big screen as Amy Irving's son in the thriller "Benefit of the Doubt" (1993). Rider Strong started his career as Gavroche in the San Francisco production of the hit musical "Les Miserables" in 1988. If you want to relive Boy Meets World from the very beginning, be sure to check out the iHeart Radio podcast Pod Meets World with Rider Strong, Danielle Fishel, and Will Friedle as they discuss moments from the series, life lessons, and have special guests.This engaging young performer has literally matured from a pre-teen to a young adult before a TV audience. Boy Meets World was a staple on the TGIF lineup on ABC, and it will be forever in the hearts of those who grew up with it and are still watching it. With a show that connects to fans so much, even 22 years after its end, it’s no wonder that Rider Strong’s feelings changed about the sitcom. He mentioned how honored he and his co-stars are that they were able to be part of something that “mattered to people.” It’s nice to know that despite Strong not always having shared those same feelings while on the show, he can now appreciate Friedle’s sentiments with his own gratefulness for his time on Boy Meets World. Will Friedle, who memorably played Eric Matthews, spoke to CinemaBlend in May about the show’s success and how “unbelievable” it is that people still love it. The sitcom was a pretty successful one, to say the least, so to want to not be part of that chaos throughout one's formative years seems reasonable enough. While he didn’t give a specific reason why he would want to run away from the show's success, it could be due to the fact that Boy Meets World’s popularity skyrocketed in the 90s, and likely brought a huge amount of unexpected and potentially unwanted attention to the young actor. Whenever we were down from the show, I literally ran away from Los Angeles and buried my head in the sand. For years in my mid-teens, I didn’t watch the show. I did not want to be associated with the show, which is crazy to me now. Looking back on how strongly he tried to distance himself from the TV hit, Strong thinks his actions were “crazy.” While promoting the new rewatch podcast Pod Meets World, which former star Ben Savage is not a part of, Rider Strong spoke to Insider about his time on Boy Meets World, saying that he'd take any chance he could to leave Los Angeles whenever the show was on hiatus.
