Trina McGee (born ; formerly known as Trina McGee-Davis) is an American actress best known for her portrayal of Angela Moore on the ABC-TV sitcom Boy Meets World.
Early life McGee attended Howard University in Washington, D.C. for a time. Although her parents wanted her to be an attorney or a doctor, two years of studying psychology at Howard led her to pursue a career in entertainment.
Career McGee's early career included acting in the Off-Broadway production Club Twelve.
After appearing in minor film roles and guest-starring in various sitcoms, McGee landed her first recurring TV role as Angela Moore in Boy Meets World in 1997. Angela's interracial relationship with Shawn Hunter (played by Rider Strong, to whom McGee is 10 years senior) was unusual for a major network television show at the time, especially one whose target demographic was teenagers. She once remarked that the typical reaction she received from young fans regarding the relationship was overwhelmingly positive and encouraging, often inquiring as to when the characters might reconcile after a breakup. She expressed her personal wish that the relationship would serve as an example of diversity for the world. In 2015, she reprised the role in one episode of the sequel series Girl Meets World.
In June 2020, McGee stated that she experienced racism while starring on Boy Meets World. She stated that the people she had incidents with were Will Friedle and Michael Jacobs. She said that she has since made amends with Friedle.
Personal life McGee married actor Marcello Thedford. She has three children, and in June 2024 she revealed that she was pregnant with her fourth child, which was lost to miscarriage shortly thereafter.
