Will Friedle's Big Career Break Took Place As Eric Matthews On 'Boy Meets World'
When we think of the name Will Friedle, fans instantly think of his work on 'Boy Meets World' for seven seasons, as a part of the iconic TGIF lineup.
He started off on the gig as a teen in 1993, and it would span all the way up until the rest of the '90s, ending in 2000. As the actor revealed alongside Celebrity Nine, he still has fond memories of the show, and according to sitcom star, it was just as much fun to shoot behind the scenes.
"While it was a big part of people's lives during the '90s, it was still just a half hour a week for the fans. For us, it was 24/7 for seven years. This was a show that was at a certain port in our lives that was so important to all of us. I was 16 when it started. Ben [Savage, who played Cory] was 11 when I met him. Danielle [Fishel, who played Topanga] was 11 when I met her. We really were like a family. It was an absolutely formidable part of growing up, and we did it together and we did it in front of a camera."
Fans will be happy to know that the cast still keeps in contact thanks to a group chat. Will revealed that he frequently talks to the main stars of the show, including Ben Savage, Danielle Fishel and Rider Strong.
Although his contributions to the show won't be forgotten, the actor did a lot more in the years that followed.

As for his career, Will would work several projects on both TV and film. These days, according to IMDb, he's especially busy with voice over work, on Marvel and DC shows such as 'DC Super Hero Girls' and the video game voice over for 'Marvel Dimension of Heroes'.
While Friedle is proud to be a part of such projects, he revealed alongside Cosplay and Coffee that he wouldn't be all to comfortable joining the team as himself, "I’m part of the Marvel world with Star-Lord on Guardians of the Galaxy in the animated series. But you have to be in really good shape to be in those movies. You don’t want to see me in spandex, I can promise you that. So yeah, I’m not sure I would be too good. Unless maybe it was the funny guy who was the friend of the superhero."
He also worked as a voice actor once again in 2021 on 'American Dad!'. It seems like the celebrity has found great success in his mid-40s in voice over work. Given his consistency and constant projects, it is no wonder his net worth has stayed steady.
