According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ben Savage will be making his directorial debut with an episode of the upcoming Disney Channel Original Series Girl Meets World. Savage played the role of Cory Matthews for seven years in Boy Meets World and is reprising the role for the spinoff.
His brother, Fred Savage from The Wonder Years, also became a director following his career as a child actor.
Ben Savage told The Hollywood Reporter, “It was a natural progression because I had always wanted to direct and I felt such a personal connection to the show. It was an important piece of my life really. Directing was a natural next step for me and it’s something I was looking forward to doing.”
Girl Meets World premieres on Disney Channel later this year.
