<div><p>For kids growing up in the 90s, no show captured your experience better than <em>Boy Meets World</em>. Through laughter and tears, over 7 seasons we grew up alongside Cory, Shawn and Topanga. While we never had a teacher as great as Mr. Feeny, there were so many <a href="https://www.shared.com/boy-meets-world-actor-ben-savage-2003429018/" target="_blank">classic moments</a> that were totally relatable. We spent so much time with these characters that it can feel like we <a href="https://www.shared.com/20-celebs-from-our-childhood-then-and-now-1983906050/" target="_blank">grew up</a> knowing them.</p><p>But odds are you never realized some Hollywood A-listers had bit parts on the show. See if you recognize any of big stars from their small parts on the show.</p><p><strong>1. Mena Suvari</strong></p><p>The <em>American Pie</em> star began her career in a much more PG teen comedy. She actually appeared on <em>Boy Meets World </em>twice, as a pair of different characters in very small roles.</p><div><div><div><amp-youtube height="9" width="16" layout="responsive" data-videoid="QDwV94Vybnc"></amp-youtube></div></div></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p></p><p><strong>2.

Adam Scott</strong></p><p>It's hard to take the <em>Parks and Recreation </em>star seriously now, but in the 90s nobody wanted to mess with Griff, the toughest guy at Cory and Shawn's school.</p><div><div><div><amp-youtube height="9" width="16" layout="responsive" data-videoid="S76cztjYYtk"></amp-youtube></div></div></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p></p><p><strong>5.
