Death of actor Dennis Haskins

Overview

American actor Dennis Haskins, widely recognized for his role as Principal Richard Belding on the sitcom ‘Saved by the Bell’, has died at the age of 75.

Haskins passed away on September 27 at Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, California. A death certificate obtained from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health confirmed Parkinson’s disease as the primary cause of death. The document also listed hypertension, depression, irritable bowel syndrome, and benign prostatic hyperplasia as other conditions. It has been reported that Haskins had privately battled Parkinson’s for approximately eight years, often keeping the diagnosis away from the public eye.

Haskins’ career began with the Disney Channel series ‘Good Morning, Miss Bliss’, a precursor to ‘Saved by the Bell’. He remained the sole adult actor when the show was retooled by NBC, appearing in the original series, its prime-time spinoff, and ‘The New Class’. Beyond these roles, he appeared in productions such as ‘The West Wing’, ‘Mad Men’, and ‘How I Met Your Mother’.

His agent, Jay Schachter, described the loss as ‘tragic’, noting that Haskins ‘absolutely LOVED his fans’. Following the news, former cast members including Tiffani Thiessen, Lark Voorhies, Mario Lopez, and Mark-Paul Gosselaar shared tributes on social media, describing him as a kind, protective, and steady presence who acted like an ‘older brother’ to the younger cast members.
