Ben Savage

Ben Savage basically grew up in America's living rooms as Cory Matthews, and that's a unique kind of connection with an audience. Boy Meets World was the gentle, life-lessons-heavy sitcom that a whole generation came of age with, and his earnest, slightly anxious everyman energy was the heart of it. What I respect is that he came back for Girl Meets World as the adult Cory, now a teacher, closing the loop in a way that felt genuinely warm rather than cynical nostalgia. He's not a chameleon actor, but he is the definitive version of one beloved character, and that counts for a lot.

Ben Savage is an American actor born in Chicago, Illinois, and a graduate of Stanford University. He is best known for starring as Cory Matthews on the long-running ABC sitcom Boy Meets World throughout the 1990s, a role he reprised in the Disney Channel sequel series Girl Meets World. He is the younger brother of actor Fred Savage.
