Will Friedle

Best known as Eric Matthews, the older sibling who never seems to have time for his younger brother Cory (Ben Savage) on the ABC sitcom "Boy Meets World" (1993-2000), Hartford native Will Friedle (pronounced Freh-dell) began acting in the fifth grade in a professional production of Ibsen's "A Doll's House." That role, in turn, led to TV commercials for products such as Skittles and Nintendo, as well as guest appearances on two 1990 episodes of "True Blue" (NBC) and on "Law & Order" (NBC), both filmed in New York. His role in "Boy Meets World" has required the attractive light-haired actor to commute from his native Connecticut to L.A.
