'The Goldbergs': Kenny Ridwan isn't just your average school-going actor, he's a Columbia-going-LA-based rising star

In an exclusive interview with Meaww, the 19-year-old actor shares his future plans and why his role as Dave Kim in 'The Goldbergs' is precious to him
PUBLISHED NOV 30, 2018

Kenny Ridwan has cheered you up with his comedic roles in 'The Goldbergs', 'The Thundermans,' and 'The McCarthys', but the 19-year-old Columbia student has many more plans up his sleeves. Growing up in a family of doctors and lawyers, Ridwan ventured into acting when he was only 11 years old and he definitely sees himself in the industry years from now. However, that does not stop the young actor from going to law school for entertainment law once he completes his current history major and a minor in creative writing.

Kidwan is spotted on 'The Goldbergs,' which is currently in its sixth season, as the turtleneck wearing, Princess-Bride loving, high schooler Dave Kim. 'The Goldbergs' is based on creator Adam Goldberg’s childhood growing up in the ’80s and centers on Adam’s family.
