Biography

Actor Mark-Paul Gosselaar rose from teen idol status on the wildly popular "Saved By the Bell" (NBC, 1989-1993) to steady work as a leading man on a sizable number of television series, including "NYPD Blue" (ABC, 1993-2005) and "mixed-ish" (ABC, 2019- ). Born Mark-Paul Harry Gosselaar on March 1, 1974 in the San Fernando Valley suburb of Panorama City, California, he was the youngest of four children by Dutch-Jewish and Dutch-Indonesian parents. He began modeling at the age of five years, which led to appearances in television commercials and then guest roles on episodic series like "The Wonder Years" (ABC, 1988-1993). He made his series regular debut on The Disney Channel's "Good Morning Miss Bliss" (1988-1989), a school comedy with Hayley Mills as a Midwestern junior high teacher. When the series was axed after a single season, NBC, which produced the show for the Disney Channel, retained a portion of its juvenile players - including Gosselaar, Dustin Diamond and Lark Voorhees - and folded them into a new program, "Saved By the Bell." Anchored around Gosselaar's handsome wisenheimer Zack Morris, "Bell" was broad comedy but played extremely well with young viewers, which ran until 1993, when several of the primary cast members had left the program. Gosselaar, however, remained faithful to the brand, and reprised a slightly more mature Morris in two TV-movies and a short-lived primetime follow-up series, "Saved by the Bell: The College Years" (NBC, 1993-1994). The long-running connection to "Bell" proved to be a hurdle for Gosselaar, who struggled to find roles outside of teen-oriented projects; adding insult to injury was growing tension between his mother, who had served as his manager from an early age, over money. After extricating himself from their arrangement, Gosselaar worked tirelessly to establish himself as a mature actor through
