So, here's a story that’s equal parts nostalgic and surprisingly emotional.

So let me paint the picture. Back in the mid-90s, Scott had a short guest stint on Boy Meets World as Griff Hawkins, the cool, tough guy. During the season 2 finale, something happened that stuck with him for years. He recalled this during a 2023 appearance on Rider Strong’s podcast, Pod Meets World . Scott said that after the final scene wrapped, everyone on set was cheering, and he turned to Rider — who played Shawn Hunter — to celebrate. He gave him a high five, said something like “Hey, congratulations, buddy!” and went in for a hug.
But according to Scott, Rider just kind of… shoved him off and gave him this look like, “Who the heck are you?” Then he walked away. Now, for most people that might’ve just been a forgettable moment — but for Scott, it became this lingering emotional splinter. He admitted on the podcast that he’d been carrying the memory with him for nearly 30 years.
What’s wild, though, is that Rider Strong didn’t even remember the incident. At all. When Scott brought it up, Strong was genuinely surprised, even shocked. He asked, “Are you serious? Why would I do that?” And honestly, that might’ve been the most healing part for Scott. It meant that the moment wasn’t this huge, mean-spirited thing — just something that probably didn’t land the way it was meant to.
In a more recent chat on Entertainment Weekly’s The Awardist podcast, Scott confirmed that the whole thing is behind them now. “I think it’s been squashed,” he said, even joking, “No, we need to work it out,” before clarifying that everything’s totally cool between them.
Looking back, Scott admitted he was just a nervous young actor trying to find his footing on a big set. He talked about how overwhelming showbiz was for him back then — how just being on a TV set would fill him with anxiety. Unlike actors who grew up in the industry or came from famous families, Scott said he never quite felt like he belonged, and it took him about 20 years to shake that off.
It’s kind of comforting, honestly — to hear that even big stars carry around old memories and self-doubt, and that sometimes, all it takes is a little conversation to let go of the past.
