Equally as important as Cory’s mother is his father, Alan Matthews. In “Boy Meets World,” Alan is played by actor William Russ. Alan and Cory have a complicated relationship. While the two often feud, Alan always has Cory’s best interests at heart. For instance, when Cory and Topanga get married, Alan refuses to let them live with him. While Cory is angry about this at the time, he realizes his father was ultimately right, as it forced him to be responsible for himself. Throughout the series, Alan is seen becoming more and more independent, even leaving his job to open up his own store.
Since “Boy Meets World” ended, William Russ has continued to build his acting portfolio primarily with guest roles on various popular television shows, such as “Colony,” “Grimm,” and “Animal Kingdom.” He has also appeared in several films, the most recent of which is a slasher film called “Founder’s Day,” which will be released on January 19, 2024. Russ was also very involved in “Girl Meets World,” the spin-off series to “Boy Meets World.” Although he only reprised his role of Alan Matthews in two episodes, he is credited as part of the production staff on 47 episodes of the show. He also directed the episode “Girl Meets Hurricane,” the episode that saw the return of Trina McGee’s Angela Moore.
