------------------------------------------------
Dennis Haskins, the actor who won generations of fans as
Principal Richard Belding on the hit teen sitcom Saved by
the Bell, has died at 75. His agent, Jay Schachter,
confirmed the death but did not share a cause of death.

Dennis Haskins passes away at 75
Schachter remembered his client of more than two decades
in a statement, saying, "It's a tragic loss. Everyone
loved Mr. Belding and those of us who got to know Dennis,
loved him even more. He was a great person, and he loved,
I mean absolutely LOVED his fans." The agent added, "He
always had time for them, no matter what. He was my client
and dear friend for over 20 years, and I will miss him
terribly. I'm heartbroken" (via Deadline).

Haskins introduced the Belding character in 1989 on the
Disney Channel series Good Morning, Miss Bliss, playing
opposite Hayley Mills. NBC then reworked the show into
Saved by the Bell, and Haskins carried the role through
its four-season run. He later returned for Saved by the
Bell: The New Class, staying with that revival for seven
seasons until it ended in 2000.

Across the franchise, his character became famous for the
scolding line, "Hey, hey, hey, what is going on here?" He
shared the screen with Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Dustin Diamond,
Lark Voorhies, Tiffani-Amber Thiessen, Elizabeth Berkley
and Mario Lopez.

Moreover, Dennis Haskins worked steadily outside Bayside.
His television and film resume includes Hangin' with
Mr. Cooper, The Practice, The West Wing, 7th Heaven,
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Mad Men, How I Met Your
Mother, New Girl, Hot In Cleveland, Victorious, The Bold
and the Beautiful, Bill Nye Saves the World, and A Million
Ways to Die in the West, among many other titles.
