If you want to know Zach's thoughts on women, drving and Home Improvement, then check out our new Zachery Ty Bryan Interview.
Firstly back in October 1996, Zach flew down to Florida accompanied by Rider Strong, Ben Savage,Will Friedle (all cast members of "Boy Meets World") and to attend a huge celebration for Disneyworlds 25th anniversary. As you might expect, all the celebrities had an absolute blast on many of the fantastic rides in Disneyworld especially Danielle's favorite ride, the awesome "Tower of Terror"!
While they were there, they also got to meet many of the their favorite Disney characters. By the way, in case you are wondering, Danielle is the one in the middle!
Zachery Ty Bryan has begun his latest movie project, a Walt Disney Television movie called "Principal Takes A Holiday", which is set to air as part of "The Wonderful World of Disney" on ABC, during the 1997-98 season.
Zach is to play the part of high school prankster John Scaduto who realizes too late that his financial graduation gift is in jeopardy if he doesn't stay out of trouble during his senior year. One of his pranks has already led to a demerit on his record so he's determined to change it in the school computer. Scaduto and his newly-conscripted side-kick, Peter Heath (Rashan H. Nall, "E.R."), hire a bogus principal, Fitz (Kevin Nealon ("Hiller & Diller," "Saturday Night Live") to step in as their ally when the real principal, Mr. Hockenberry (Kurt Fuller, "Wayne's World") is taken away by paramedics due to injuries from one of Scaduto's pranks.
Fitz's impersonation is quickly in jeopardy when the sexy new history teacher, Celia Shine (Jessica Steen, "Trial and Error"), suspects that something is not quite right. Oliver (Carlos Jacott, "Grosse Point Blank"), a burned-out actor who sees his chance to be a big star like Robin Williams in "Dead Poets Society," complicates matters when he also shows up at school as yet another substitute principal. John and Peter soon have their hands full juggling all the variables of this complex scheme they have created.
Executive producers are Craig Zadan and Neil Meron.
Meron says,
" 'The Wonderful World of Disney' franchise provides a great
opportunity to do more comedies and thus provide actors like Kevin Nealon and
Zachery Ty Bryan a forum to display their comedic talents to a wider
audience."
