Long before he played the lovable school administrator, Haskins worked as a music agent and concert promoter. He soon forayed into acting, however, playing a recurring role on The Dukes of Hazzard throughout the early '80s and appearing on the show Magnum, P.I. Then, in 1990, Haskins scored the iconic role on Saved by the Bell that would make him such a familiar face, and continued with the show for its entire four-year run. He then appeared on all four seasons of Saved by the Bell: The New Class, finally wrapping up the series in 1999. Haskins moved on and explored a variety of roles following the conclusion of the Saved by the Bell franchise. In 2003, he appeared in the party film Going Down, and in 2006 he played Sheriff Thomas in the family adventure The Treasure of Painted Forest. ~ Cammila Collar, Rovi
