VIDEO: Mark-Paul Spills Saved By the Bell Secrets
Can Steven Bochco deliver a new spin on the legal drama? In this video Q&A, Mark-Paul Gosselaar previews his role in
Raising the Bar, premiering tonight at 10 pm/ET, on TNT, and reveals what it's like to butt heads with
Malcolm in the Middle's Jane Kaczmarek.
Speaking of butts... Mark-Paul also shares his take on the "ridiculous" uproar caused by a nude scene from his
NYPD Blue days (at the 2:00 mark).
The talk then turns to
Saved By the Bell, and how that cast of child stars (for the most part) turned out OK. "We didn't have the pressure [that young stars today face]," he notes. "We were allowed to be kids." That said, there may be some "wild" tales to tell. Or at least Dustin Diamond thinks so. Gosselaar, being facetious about Screech's plan for a "tell-all," says, "I'm happy to have someone
finally write a book to piece together those years I've been [blanking out on]." Listen to a lot more on that at the 3:50 mark.
The chat wraps with Gosselaar copping to dating several
Bell belles, and how he met his wife, Lisa Ann Russell, on the show. -
