After nearly three decades, actor Adam Scott says he’s finally at ease over an awkward on‑set moment he had with Rider Strong while guest starring on “Boy Meets World” in the mid-1990s. During the Season 2 finale of the ABC sitcom, Scott, who played the bully Griff Hawkins, approached series star Strong to congratulate him on wrapping the season.

Nearly 30 years after feeling slighted by Boy Meets World star Rider Strong, Adam Scott has finally squashed the beef and found closure. For the unaware, Scott sat down for Entertainment Weekly's Awardist podcast in July 2025 and discussed a traumatic encounter he had as a budding actor trying to establish himself in the mid-1990s.
