Earlier in the coronavirus pandemic, Daniels — who is best known for playing iconic and beloved teacher Mr. Feeny onBoy Meets World— provided a message of encouragement to teachers on National Teacher Day as they continued working through challenging times.
“I’m here to encourage you to show some appreciation for the unsung heroes that help shape the future generations,” he said in anE! Newsvideo last May. “Our teachers provide us with so much. They’re there for you in your formative years, supply the knowledge you need to take on the world and even give you unsolicited advice from behind the fence in their backyard. I’m talking to you, Mr. Matthews [Ben Savage].”
