Danielle Fishel Says She Was Nearly Fired Her First Day on 'Boy Meets World'
Danielle Fishel is opening up about how her first day on Boy Meets World might have also been her last.
The 41-year-old actress, who famously portrayed Topanga on the long-running ABC series, opened up about creator Michael Jacobs on a recent episode of the Pod Meets World podcast.
Joined by director David Trainer, Danielle revealed how her first run-through as Topanga of the script didn’t go as planned.
Danielle noted that she was just 12 when she landed the role of Topanga and how she was given notes by series creator Michael Jacobs.
“I had never been a part of his marathon notes session. This was my first one because it was my very first week,” she recalled.
Danielle continued, saying that she and her mother worked on her lines all night, and when she showed up the next day and showed her improvement, he gave her a standing ovation.
