Two actors from ‘Boy Meets World’ say they now have a warped view of a guest star from their show … after the guy was later convicted on a child molestation charge.

Key Takeaway

Rider Strong and Will Friedle, actors from ‘Boy Meets World’, speak out against a former guest star, Brian Peck, who was convicted on child molestation charges, expressing their regret for affiliating with him.

Rider Strong and Will Friedle Address the Issue

Rider Strong and Will Friedle addressed this issue head-on alongside fellow costar Danielle Fishel on their ‘Pod Meets World’ podcast. They discussed Brian Peck, an actor who was convicted on child sexual abuse charges back in the early 2000s.

The Allegations and Conviction

At the time, he was accused of molesting an unidentified Nickelodeon child actor and ended up taking a plea deal and serving over a year behind bars. He’s now set to be featured in a new documentary about the ugly underbelly of Nick that’s airing in March.

The Impact on the ‘Boy Meets World’ Stars

Rider and Will say they also knew this guy back in the day since he acted on their own show a couple times. Even though he only guest-starred on two ‘BMW’ episodes with very minor roles, the actors now say he was deeply embedded into their lives, leaving them feeling creeped out and uneasy all these years later.

Realization and Regret

As they look back now, Will and Rider say his eagerness to be good pals with them back then was wildly inappropriate and weird. They express shame and regret for ever affiliating themselves with him, even as young adults.
