Actor Brian Peck gained fame for his guest appearances in season 5 of the 90s sitcom ‘Boy Meets World.’
Recently, in 2024, the cast of Boy Meets World discussed their experiences with Peck in the wake of allegations surrounding his name.
Peck is an American actor and dialogue coach born on July 29, 1960, in Huntington, Indiana. He made his acting debut in 1982, with his breakout role as Scuz in The Return of the Living Dead in 1985. He has also appeared on other hit series such as Growing Pains, All That, and Boy Meets World, in addition to serving as a dialogue coach on Anger Management and All That.
Peck was arrested in August 2003 for lewd acts with a child at his residence. The police report revealed that he conducted these acts while coaching a child who was a Nickelodeon actor. Subsequently, he was charged with eight counts of sexual abuse and served a 16-month prison sentence the following year.
On a podcast, Will Friedle, Danielle Fishel, and Rider Strong, who were minors at the time, revealed that they regretted their support for Peck during his trial. They expressed their remorse for their misjudgment and the lack of knowledge about the whole story.
The conversations around working with Peck were brought up in response to the upcoming premiere of Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV, a docuseries featuring the toxic environment around shows created by former Nickelodeon producer Dan Schneider. The series will air on March 17-18, 2024, and includes interviews with former Nickelodeon alumni.
According to TV Line, the docuseries is set to mention Peck, with the potential for his victim from the 2003 case to speak out on the issue. If you or someone you know is affected by the issues raised in this story, call the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-4673.
