He looks so nervous despite having been in the public eye since being a little kid! I wish him a lot of luck!

[kailynbrennan]

Makes sense now why he politely declined to do the Pod Meets World podcast with his former cast mates. It’s actually interesting, and there’s nothing wrong with doing one at all, but I can see why he wouldn’t want to be linked to it if he planned to pursue politics. Best of luck, Ben!

[diannaswenson]

Ben Savage is very likable. I also remember the ending of Boy meets world and Feeny telling them all to do good. I think as long as he doesn't get upset when people bring up Cory, because it is a huge part of what made him who he is, he will do well! I mean....good

[maidenless_tarnished]

I've been rewatching boy meets world lately and that show will always hold up

HE LOOKED&SOUNDED NERVOUS.BUT HE GOTS HEART&SAID WHATS ON HIS MIND&HEART.GOOD LUCK.HOPES HE WINS.

[bratty_]

Proud of him! I really hope his brothers bad press won’t affect him during this. Good luck ben!

[DavidBaggaShorts]

I grew up watching boy meets world and it was always one of my favorite shows. Underrated and there was always a message. Best of luck to Ben as he starts his career in politics.

“Mr matthews..well done.” - Mr Feeny

Everybody : hey are you Corey from boy meets world?!

Ben Savage: Great question

[truthhurts]

Despite him being an actor, I’m glad there are younger people getting involved in politics. This is the only interview I’ve seen, but he does seem knowledgeable and focused.

[JayMar]

The fact that he is obviously nervous shows how humble he is despite his early success and frankly, recent success with "Girl Meets Word." Talking about REAL issues can be difficult and he just feels relatable.

[HarryWilmington]

Drinking game: take a drink every time he says "Great question!"

[dylanawilson]

It's dangerous to vote for him just because you like his acting or think he's cute or whatever. Politics are a very serious thing. Only vote for him if his policies make sense and if he'll be able to actually do something about issues. Not for any other reason.

[zenseed]

Not just an actor. Political Science major. Fantastic! ❤️❤️❤️ Hope he wins.

[vanessajabbour]

At least he has the background to back it up and is pursuing is other dream. Good for him. He has a clean image and seems like a genuinely nice guy.

[TMNg]

"It's a great question"; "bringing people together".

LET'S GO Eric Matthews really impacted his younger brother for real

[mamamcfreeman]

This guy has been persuading people since he was 10. The show Boy Meets World was originally the “Ben Savage Project”. He went into the producers office and pushed for it at a super young age. It’s in his blood.

[hannahgracexx]

I would like to know more specific areas he plans to focus on - he sounded a bit nervous reiterating the same words and points (which politicians do) but I got the feeling that he is genuine in wanting a different approach. Will be interesting to see what he brings to the table if elected or not

[gmcubed]

Not a fan of actors turned politicians but BMW is My fav show of all time, and he seems more qualified than others we got running things, if I lived in CA he'd get my vote most likely.

[victoriashore]

Am I the only one who got excited just when I saw his face. Then even more when I saw the title of the video. I’m too much of a fangirl because I made a small squeal when he came on screen
