Cornelius A. "Cory" Matthews is a fictional character in the US television series Boy Meets World (1993–2000) and its sequel Girl Meets World (2014–2017), portrayed by Ben Savage.
The character made an appearance in the US television series by Boy Meets World creator, Michael Jacobs, Maybe This Time (1995–1996) in the episode, "Acting Out" (1996), as part of a cross-over with Boy Meets World, portrayed by Ben Savage.
Cornelius A. "Cory" Matthews (Ben Savage) is the main character of the series Boy Meets World and plays a large role as the main adult character in the spin-off series, Girl Meets World. His best friend is Shawn Hunter, and his mother and father are Amy and Alan Matthews. By the end of the series, he has three siblings: Eric, Morgan, and Joshua. Cory is friends with Topanga Lawrence, his "first true love," whom he eventually marries late in the series. Sometimes, Cory does not get along with Topanga, when Cory is not doing the right thing, or not doing things the right way (humorously), complete with deadpan humor and puns. Mr. George Feeny is Cory's teacher/principal, mentor, and neighbor. He goes to him for advice on his problems. Cory always works his problems out. In the last episode, it is revealed that Cory is actually short for 'Cornelius.' He is not fond of this fact.
By the end of the series, Cory, Topanga, and their friends eventually left Philadelphia for an internship that Topanga got with a law firm in New York City, and by the time of the events of Girl Meets World, Cory has had two children with Topanga, a daughter named Riley, plus a son named Auggie. Cory became a history teacher and his daughter is in his class. In the spin-off, Cory, who is now matured and experienced, plays the similar role as his father Alan and George Feeny had; mentoring his children and their friends about life, while still learning his craft as a young teacher (akin to Jonathan Turner).
