In a recent episode of the podcast “Pod Meets World,” actors Rider Strong, Will Friedle, and Danielle Fishel dedicated the discussion to their experiences with Brian Peck, a guest star on the television show “Boy Meets World” who was convicted of sexual abuse. Peck appeared in two episodes during season 5 of the show and had developed friendships with Friedle and Strong. The cast felt compelled to address Peck’s involvement because his episodes were upcoming on the podcast, which usually focuses on episode recaps.
During the episode, Friedle recounted how Peck had ingratiated himself into his life after “Boy Meets World,” and despite Peck’s friendly demeanor, he was eventually convicted of a lewd act against a child and oral copulation of a person under 16 in 2003. Peck had spun the narrative to downplay his actions, describing himself as a victim of “jailbait” and minimizing the severity of his offenses. Friedle and Strong both wrote letters to the judge in support of Peck and attended his sentencing, where they were confronted by the victim’s mother.
Fishel speculated that adults on the set of “Boy Meets World” may have avoided questioning Peck’s relationship with the younger cast members due to fear of being perceived as homophobic. Friedle expressed deep remorse for his actions and the consequences, acknowledging that despite not being fully informed at the time, he and Strong were “on the wrong side of everything.”
Vulture attempted to contact Peck for comment but received no response.
