LOS ANGELES (AP) — The 91-year-old award-winning actor who played Mr. Feeny on "Boy Meets World" scared off a burglar from his home.

In a statement on Twitter, his publicist wrote , "Luckily, Mr. Daniels was able to frighten away the person and the LAPD quickly responded." Daniels and his wife "are both well."
Police have not made an arrest.
