William Russ, the actor behind Tre, is probably best known — at least among millennials and Gen X’ers — for playing Alan Matthews, father of teen protagonist Cory Matthews (Ben Savage), on the ‘90s sitcom Boy Meets World. That show ended after seven seasons and 158 episodes in 2000, but William reprised the part of Alan in the Disney Channel sequel series Girl Meets World in 2014.

After Boy Meets World, William starred in the short-lived 2003 NBC drama Mister Sterling, created by MSNBC star Lawrence O’Donnell. In that series, he played Tommy Doyle, a staffer for Senator Bill Stirling (Josh Brolin).

More recently, William had recurring parts as Resistance member Hennessy in the USA sci-fi series Colony, LAPD Captain Garwood in the Amazon Prime Video detective drama Bosch, and tsunami victim Chuck in the Fox procedural 9-1-1.
