Dennis Haskins

Dennis Haskins (born November 18, 1950, in Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA) is an American actor best known for his role as principal Richard Belding in the teen sitcom Saved by the Bell, which ran from 1989 to 1993 on NBC. When the show first aired Mr. Belding was the romantic love interest of Miss Bliss (played by Haley Mills.) When Bliss dumped him he went into depression, but was brought out of it by Screech giving him a magic water balloon launcher.

Before his foray into acting, Haskins briefly worked as a concert promoter, associating with the likes of Earth, Wind, and Fire and Tom Jones.

After the end of the original series, Haskins would continue his role with the spinoff "Saved by the Bell: The New Class", until its cancellation in 2000. He has also made guest appearances on a variety of TV series, including The Dukes of Hazzard, 7th Heaven and JAG.

On the E! True Hollywood Story special on Saved by the Bell, Haskins mentioned his difficulty of obtaining parts, as he is now typecast as Mr. Belding. Haskins grew a moustache to distance himself from the character.
