After co-hosting Nickelodeon's Don't Just Sit There for three seasons (1988–1991), Friedle was cast as Cory Matthews' likable but underachieving elder brother Eric on the long-running TV sitcom Boy Meets World from 1993 to 2000.
In 2004, he co-starred with Chris Owen in the independent film National Lampoon's Gold Diggers (originally titled Lady Killers). He also appeared in a supporting role in the 2005 ABC Family movie Everything You Want. Friedle was cast as Mike in the WB sitcom Off Centre, but could not accept the role because of a previous commitment to the UPN series The Random Years. The role ended up going to Eddie Kaye Thomas.
Friedle voiced Seifer Almasy in the English version of the video game Kingdom Hearts II, Gideon Wyeth in Advent Rising, and Jaster Rogue in the English version of the video game Rogue Galaxy.
In December 2013, it was announced that Friedle would reprise his Boy Meets World role of Eric Matthews on the continuation series Girl Meets World.
