‘Girl Meets World’ Casting: Ben Savage Seeking ‘The Perfect’ Daughter
"Boy Meets World" fans have been psyched since the announcement of Disney's "Girl Meets World." With Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel officially signing on as Cory and Topanga, fans are now dying to know who will get the coveted role of their 13-year-old daughter, Riley.
On Dec. 3 Ben Savage tweeted:
"Big Week...Time to go find myself a daughter! #GirlMeetsWorld"
But unfortunately, the casting isn't going to be that easy. According to Entertainment Weekly, Disney is currently looking for an "adorable" 13-year-old who is "fiercely loyal to her friend," and won't let anything "dampen her bright spirit and eternal optimism."
Riley will actually be Cory and Topanga's youngest child, as they will also have a son named Elliot in the eighth grade. Besides dealing with her "know it all" brother, Riley will also be dealing with another major obstacle...her seventh grade history teacher...who also happens to be her dad.
Savage recently dished some casting scoop to Rolling Stone. The actor (and new on-screen father), told the magazine that "We're working on that right now. There have been a few names tossed around. We're meeting with girls and auditioning and that whole process. You know, we're slowly trying to find the perfect girl."
Only time will tell who that "perfect girl" for the part of Riley is!
