Maitland Ward aka Rachel From 'Boy Meets World' Credits Her Work In Porn For Landing A New TV Show Gig

[Source] - The 44-year-old American actress is celebrating having just landed a role in a new sitcom The Big Time. She will play a world-famous porn star, mirroring her real life, who teams up with a nerdy writer to reinvigorate a failing production studio.

She admitted that her work in porn has “really made mainstream Hollywood take notice” and that her erotic career has “actually opened doors for me”.

Maitland added that if she had not worked with Disney then she might not have ended up “living a fairytale in the adult film world”.

Thatta girl Matiland Ward! Love seeing people use experience to land a new role based on said experience. It's sort of fitting that she'll play a porn star in The Big Time. Rachel from Boy Meets World was one of the most important people in my younger life. Pretty sure she might be the very first person with short hair that made me feel things. The moment she came into Eric and Jack's apartment, life was never the same for your boy. 

She's not just the star of the new show too - she's the producer as well! That's how you know it's serious. (h/t Cinemablend)

The project is being described as "lighthearted" and a "comedy." Currently, it's unclear where The Big Time will be housed on TV or streaming, but Maitland Ward says she is excited to be involved to bring awareness of sex positivity to the mainstream. She noted in a release.

Love to see it. Here we all were thinking Topanga was going to be the long term star of the show. Maybe Eric with his comedic factor or Shawn with the perfect 90s hair. But nope, it's Rachel. She's an award winner for crying out loud! 

I don't see Cory out here with this many awards. This is like Bill Russell or MJ taking a picture with all their awards. Just a dominating performance. I've said it before but Maitland Ward is really like Fred VanVleet. Cosplay to Patreon to Snapchat premium to OnlyFans to porn. That's how you advance a career. That's like Fred VanVleet. Undrafted to G League to the bench to NBA champion to starting 28 games this past season. That's right I'm calling Fred VanVleet, Rachel and calling Rachel, Fred VanVleet. And now she's back to being the lead just like the Raptors are about to be FVV's team whenever Lowry leaves. 

What a classic show - Boy Meets World, of course. The Feeny Call, the life lessons from one of the most common men in the world in Alan Matthews, the characters. Great show. Can't wait to see her in the new show.
