Corey Fogelmanis, 16, is an actor, photographer, and student most recognized for his current portrayal of Farkle Minkus on Disney Channel’s Girl Meets World. Corey was born and raised in California, where he entered the theatre scene at six years old.

Since beginning acting 10 years ago, Corey has performed in at least 18 live productions, including the Pasadena Playhouse’s Peter Pan & Tinkerbell: A Pirate Christmas last December. The production starred Corey Fogelmanis and Girl Meets World co-stars Sabrina Carpenter and August Maturo as the Darling siblings.

Corey’s filmed works begin with 2011’s The Maiden and the Princess, a live-action and independent short in which a fairytale princess kisses another girl and must decide whether or not feelings are inappropriate. His stage presence and acting ability shine so bright that he was picked up as a Disney Channel regular after only three guest spots on TV shows, according to IMDb.

Outside of Girl Meets World, Corey can be found hanging with family, playing with his two dogs Thunder and Sunshine, or taking photos (see on Instagram). His next role is in the upcoming R.L. Stine movie Mostly Ghostly 3: One Night in Doom House as main character Max Doyle.

Though he won’t have time to return to the stage soon, Corey says he hopes to get a big break on Broadway in the future.

“I think Pippin is such a brilliantly written show and I would love to be able to do that at some point. Jack Kelly in Newsies is another one on my list,” he told LADYGUNN. “Originating a role would be an incredible experience.”
