<a href="/biography/ben-savage">Bennett Joseph Savage</a>, popularly known as Ben, was born in Chicago, Illinois on September 13th, 1980. His parents, Joanne and Lewis Savage, had three children: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Savage">Fred Savage</a> who is an actor/<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Savage">director</a>, Kala Savage famous actress/musician, and <a href="/biography/ben-savage">Bennett Savage</a>, who is an actor/<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Savage">director</a>. Their grandparents were immigrants from Poland and all of the three were raised in Judaism.

Ben started his acting career in TV commercials at only five years old. His older brother, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Savage">Fred Savage</a>, who starred in The Wonder Years, was his inspiration. He also credits his parents for encouraging him into acting. They spent their life encouraging their boys to become good actors.

Boy Meets World

He had his first acting debut in his brother’s movie Little Monsters. He acted in two more movies directed by his elder brother named Big Girls Don't Cry, They Get Even which was released in 1992 and Clifford released in 1994.

Ben's most well-known appearance, however, came when he was thirteen years old. In 1993, he was cast in the lead role in the ABC sitcom series Boy Meets World. Boy Meets World's storyline chronicled Cory (Ben Savage) and his friends and family through middle school, high school, and into college as a married man with humorous yet honest everyday life-lessons. The series lasted for seven years, during which he grew up with his co-stars <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rider_Strong">Rider Strong</a>, <a href="/biography/danielle-fishel">Danielle Fishel</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Tyler_Quinn">Anthony Tyler Quinn</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willie_Garson">Willie Garson</a>.

“That was my life-- it was my childhood” he stated in an interview with Hollywood Reporter. “I remember every episode. What do I take away from that show? We had a ball. We just had so much fun. We didn't stop laughing from the second we got to set until the second we left.”

They remain friends today. “What I always like about good friendships and relationships”, Ben has stated, “is that it does not matter how much time it's been, you can immediately sit down and start talking where things left off.”

Though Savage was busy with his acting career, he did not neglect his studies. In 2004 he graduated from Stanford University with a Political Science degree. As one of the requirements for his degree, he was an <a href="/biography/ben-savage">intern</a> for US <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arlen_Specter">Senator</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arlen_Specter">Arlen Specter</a>. He was also a <a href="/biography/ben-savage">Member</a> of the Sigma Chi fraternity.

Girl Meets World

In 2014, he reprised his role as Cory along with <a href="/biography/danielle-fishel">co-star</a> <a href="/biography/danielle-fishel">Danielle Fishel</a> as Topanga for the new spinoff series Girl Meets World which focused on the life of the couple’s teenage daughter. In Girl Meets World, the power couple Savage (Cory) and <a href="/biography/danielle-fishel">Fishel</a> (Topanga) appear as husband and wife after 14 years. The series chronicles the coming-of-age of their 12-year-old daughter, Riley, played by <a href="/biography/rowan-blanchard">Rowan Blanchard</a>. Ben (Cory) is not only her storyline father, but her history teacher, as well. The series premiered on June 27, 2014 on the Disney channel and ended three years later on January 20, 2017. Ben was able to gain experience directing a number of episodes for the series.

It was rumored that Ben and <a href="/biography/danielle-fishel">Fishel</a>, his co-star in both Boy Meets World and Girl Meets World, were enjoying a real-life romance. However, the actress insisted that they only went on one date when she was 15. “That rumor was entirely my fault”, she told Maxim magazine, “because I once said, on the “Tyra Banks Show” that Ben and I went on a date and that turned into “<a href="/biography/danielle-fishel">Danielle</a> and Ben dated.” We went on one date, when I was about fifteen, and by the time dinner was over we realized mutually that we were more like family than lovers.” They are longtime pals. <a href="/biography/danielle-fishel">Fishel</a> married her boyfriend of 4 years, Tim Belusko, on October 19, 2013.

Other Interests

Apart from his career in big screen films, he was also cast on television. He has acted in She Woke Up and Aliens for Breakfast. He was also cast in the TV series Wild Palms and Unexpected Tenderness, for which he later won an Ovation Award. He made his entry in theater plays at the Pasadena Playhouse with The Laughter Epidemic.

Ben took a break of three years from film and television, and then eventually, came back with few guest appearances in TV shows. In 2006, he starred in the critically acclaimed independent film Palo Alto.

Ben was a big time <a href="/biography/ben-savage">fan</a> of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Springsteen">Bruce Springsteen</a>; he used to spend his summer following him on his US tour. There was a rumor about Ben that he died in a car accident in 2006, when we was drunk driving. It was said that he went into a coma and medication couldn’t work because he was intoxicated. This news was declared false.

Apart from his deep interest in acting, Savage has other interests as well. He is a <a href="/biography/ben-savage">volunteer</a> for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation and donates items to Rocky Stone as part of the Toy Mountain Campaign.

Personal Life

Ben is unmarried and has no children. He has stated “It's weird that [in Girl Meets World] I'm a <a href="/biography/ben-savage">dad</a> with kids. It's just an interesting change because I have no children, so it's been an interesting shift. But I think I'm getting some good practice.” He hopes to be a role model and father figure for the kids both on and off set, as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Russ">William Russ</a> (Alan Matthews) was to him during his time growing up on Boy Meets World.

Ben is quite active on his Twitter account @BenSavage where he has 538,000 followers. He had announced his deal for the sequel of Boy Meets World on Twitter in 2012 before the platform was as dominant as it is today. His Instagram account also has 1.1million followers.

He was estimated to have a total net worth of $12 million as of January 18, 2017.
