'Don't ever mess with Mr. Feeny!' 'Boy Meets World' actor William Daniels, 91, stops attempted break-in
William Daniels, the 91-year-old actor who played Mr. Feeny on Boy Meets World, is fine after protecting himself and his wife, actress Bonnie Bartlett, from a break-in.
His spokesperson tells Yahoo Entertainment, “Someone tried to break into the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Daniels on Saturday evening” in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles. “Luckily, Mr. Daniels was able to frighten away the person and the LAPD quickly responded.”
Both he and his wife “are both well,” the rep says, adding, “Mr. Daniels thanks all his fans for their concern.”
Fans of the ’90s TV fave Boy Meets World are breathing a sigh of relief that the principal is OK — and so are his co-stars Will Friedle and Danielle Fishel, who posted funny responses in light of the news that Daniels is fine.
