“My husband [ Mark Wilkerson ] is gonna be like, ‘I’m sorry, what'd you what?’” she joked, laughing. “I'm sorry. I dunno.
That was the 16-year-old me talking. It's the urge.” Richert did spill which show he would have liked to make a cameo on.
“ Boy Meets World . They're a great cast, great bunch of kids. And it always seemed like it'd be so much fun to hang out with them,” he shared, adding that it “wouldn’t matter” who he played.
“They could’ve killed me off on the first episode, I still would've had fun,” he said with a laugh. Jenna Leigh Green , who played Libby on Sabrina , also had a dream role. “I always wished that there was, like, a cousin or somebody that I could come in and play on Party of Five ,” she told Us .
“I look too much like that family though. So I was like, ‘I'm never gonna be on the show unless I'm related to them.’ It didn't happen.

Dave Coulier , meanwhile, had a different answer: “I had a huge crush on [ Jaleel White’s ] Urkel,” he told Us. “There, I said it.

“But probably the one that stuck out the most for me initially was Freddie Prinze Jr. in She's All That. I mean, come on!” As for what show she would have liked to make an appearance on? To join her fellow witch, of course.
“ Sabrina !” she told Us . Credit: Gerardo Mora/Getty Images 'Sweet Valley High' Cast Brittany and Cynthia Daniel both agreed Kirk Cameron was a big teen crush, but Cynthia added that someone else was her No. 1 guy, even back then.

a Tiffani Thiessen , was a major '90s heartthrob. “She came to our ‘Liquid Dreams’ video shoot,” Estrada told Us . “Tiffani actually also called the set of [our] ‘These Are the Days’ [music video] and I spoke to her right before I went on.
She was still so supportive of us, even through the second album.” Estrada added that there was one other dark-haired star that caught his eye. “ Alyssa Milano ? Does she count?” he asked, noting that his crush traces all the way back to her 1980s hit show Who’s the Boss ?

Makenzie Rosman , meanwhile, opted for the King of the World himself. “You know, Leonardo DiCaprio . I liked the hair and then Titanic had come out,” she told Us .
“And I used to practice, like, my kissing with the CD case and the Titanic box set. ..
. I had to be about 11 because I was also reading Harry Potter thinking I was about to get a letter from Hogwarts which never came. Probably lost in the mail.

’” Joey Lawrence agreed. “We were always, we would confer,” he said. “Our opinions are very similar when it comes to [that stuff].
We confer.” Credit: Gerardo Mora/Getty Images 'Charmed' Cast While Drew Fuller and Brian Krause didn’t share their '90s crushes directly with Us , Fuller did confess that there was a specific show he would have enjoyed being on for ..
. reasons. “ Melrose Place ,” he said.
“Just to be that young, like, love interest for someone.” Krause, for his part, was interested in appearing on a different type of show. “ Quantum Leap ,” he said.
“Give me a part there.” For Dorian Gregory , it was “ 90210 and NYPD Blue and Seinfeld .” Credit: Gerardo Mora/Getty Images Joey Fatone Fatone didn’t spill any tea on his biggest crushes, but he did reveal what show he would have loved to appear on in the '90s — the same one where bandmates Justin Timberlake and JC Chasez got their big break.
“Here’s the funny part. ..
. I auditioned for Mickey Mouse Club ,” Fatone told Us . “And it was the same year that JC got on The Mickey Mouse Club .
So I auditioned [in] Orlando. It was literally an open call with, like, 700 kids or whatever the heck. And I was one of the top 10, but never made it to, I think it was a screen test.
Never made it to the screen test, but made it all the way to the finale.” Credit: Gerardo Mora/Getty Images Andrew Keegan Keegan got lucky at 90s Con — his teen crushes were there in person! “It's great, I just took a picture with the gals [Brittany and Cynthia Daniel from Sweet Valley High ],” he said. “Beautiful now and beautiful then.
