A bacha posh literally dressed up like a boy in Dari is a third kind of child a girl who will be raised as a boy and presented as a son to the world. Book Excerpt from William Daniels, a. Mr. Feeny. William Daniels has had a long career as an actor that included performances in The Graduate, Two for the Road, and 1. ABC As Daniels explains in his new memoir, There I Go Again How I Came to Be Mr. Feeny, John Adams, Dr. Craig, KITT, and Many Others, it was the Shakespeare references. Michael Jacobs, who created the show, based Feeny on his high school drama teacher, and convinced Daniels to join the cast by writing a speech about Romeo and Juliet that he would deliver to the shows titular boy, Cory. Most of the Shakespeare references ended up being cut, Daniels explains in the excerpt below, but the character remained a powerful presence on the show, and in the lives of millions of viewers. Over the years you fine tune your acting ability. It doesnt mean youre not capable of giving a lousy performance now and again, but on the whole you reach a point where youve increased your level of achievement. And its at that point, assuming that you are financially secure, that you have to protect your reputation by choosing carefully the roles you commit to. It was with that in mind that I expressed my doubts about taking on the role of George Feeny in a half hour sitcom called Boy Meets World.
