Haskins acting career
The backstory:
Haskins was a key member of the "Saved by the Bell" cast before the Saturday morning show adopted that name. He was part of the original iteration of the show when it was set in Indiana and called "Good Morning, Miss Bliss."
The Chattanooga, Tennessee, native was the only adult cast member still with the show the next season, when Zack Morris, Lisa Turtle, and Screech moved on to Bayside High, and the show was renamed "Saved by the Bell."
He stayed with the original series throughout its entire run and went on to star in "Saved by the Bell: The New Class," in addition to appearing in the series’ TV movies and primetime spinoff, "Saved by the Bell: The College Years."
In addition to playing an entire generation’s favorite good-natured but gullible principal, Haskins racked up more than 100 credits, according to his IMDb page, including roles on "Mad Men," "How I Met Your Mother," and "The Bold and the Beautiful."
