‘Saved by the Bell’ star Dennis Haskins was all smiles in final appearance nearly a decade before death
“Saved by the Bell” alum Dennis Haskins, who played Mr. Belding on the beloved show, made his final public appearance nearly a decade before his death.
The actor was photographed attending an Los Angeles Clippers and San Antonio Spurs game on Dec. 29, 2018.
Haskins suited up for the occasion and was all smiles at the Crypto.com Arena, then known as the Staples Center.
Prior to the NBA game, Haskins made multiple appearances in October 2018, from the opening night performance of “A Bronx Tale” to the “Lucha Vavoom: Inside America’s Most Outrageous Show” premiere.
He was also seen walking in Los Angeles in November 2018.
Haskins has not been spotted out and about since watching the Spurs defeat the Clippers the following month.
News broke Monday of the 75-year-old’s death, with his longtime friend and caretaker in Chattanooga, Tennessee, confirming the news to WCTV.
His agent, Jay Schachter, subsequently opened up about the “tragic loss” to the Hollywood Reporter.
“Everyone loved Mr. Belding and those of us who got to know Dennis, loved him even more,” he told the outlet. “He was a great person, and he loved, I mean absolutely LOVED his fans.”
Schachter continued, “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.”
