Rider Strong has finally revealed why he was against the idea of including Matthew Lawrence in the film Boy meets world.
The 46-year-old American actor and director played Shawn Hunter in the American coming-of-age sitcom created by April Kelly and Michael Jacobs, which ran for seven seasons on ABC from September 1993 to May 2000.
On the recent episode of the Lawrence brothers’ podcast: Brotherly loveMatthew asked Rider what he “thought of me when I came to Boy Meets World.”
The presenter, who played Jack Hunter on the show, admitted he was ‘a lot more shy and a bit introverted than people quite understand’, but his shyness would see him portrayed as ‘kind of an ass’.
Rider responded, “I feel like we found that out about you within the first year,” explaining, “I would say all three of you were very intimidating because you were like the established Hollywood people.”
“You were the very successful brothers who had become superstars and done all these things. So for us, I think there was a sense of, ‘Oh God, the Lawrences are coming,'” he said. Border area star revealed, referring to Matthew, Joey and Andrew Lawrence.
Boy meets world starring William Daniels, Danielle Fishel, Ben Savage, Will Friedle and Betsy Randle, to name a few.
