“Boy Meets World” stars Rider Strong, Will Friedle, and Danielle Fishel opened up about the friendship they had at one point with actor Brian Peck, who was later convicted of child molestation.
During their “Pod Meets World” podcast on Monday, Strong and Friedle said they were manipulated by Peck — who was accused in 2003 of molesting a child and pleaded no contest to the charges. He was later convicted and spent 16 months behind bars, Entertainment Weekly reported.
Strong and Friedle were young stars when they met Peck, who was in his 40s when he showed up to work with them during a two-episode arc on the popular ABC sitcom in 1997.
They admitted Peck befriended them and the boys started hanging out with the older actor — not just on the set but outside of work too.
