Mario Lopez (Actor) .. A.C. Slater
Born: October 10, 1973
Birthplace: San Diego, California, United States
Trivia: Known to legions of Gen-Xers as A.C. Slater, Mario Lopez became famous when he was cast as the macho heartthrob on the Saturday-morning sitcom Saved by the Bell in 1989. Lopez's career started years before, however, as he began auditioning for roles while he was still a teenager, commuting between Hollywood and his hometown of San Diego. At just 13, Lopez appeared in 1986's The Last Fling, and in 1988 he appeared in the Civil War drama Colors.The fame that Saved by the Bell brought the young actor proved to be tremendous, and he stayed with the show until its run ended in 1993, going on to star in Saved by the Bell: The College Years, and even appear in a few episodes of Saved by the Bell: The New Class. Buoyed by his supportive fan base, Lopez then went on to pursue a wide variety of projects, playing Olympic diving champion Greg Louganis in the TV movie Breaking the Surface: The Greg Louganis Story, and a criminal-turned-hero in the independent film Eastside. In 2003, he began co-hosting a talk show with Danny Bonaduce and Dick Clark called The Other Half, which was very much like a men's answer to The View. Lopez enjoyed hosting duties, saying that he loved talking about women, sports, and cars. In 2006, Lopez had an opportunity to pursue a longtime interest in dancing, when he joined the cast of the ABC competitive reality show Dancing with the Stars. He and partner Karina Smirnoff were very successful, coming in second place, and audiences were shocked that the lithe actor had never received any formal ballroom dance training. 2006 was also the year that Lopez made a memorable run as doctors both on the hit TV series Nip/Tuck and on the daytime soap The Bold and the Beautiful. He also parlayed his reborn popularity from Dancing with the Stars to serve as a celebrity guest host for the news magazine show Extra and to host multiple beauty pageants, such as Miss America. He played himself in 2010's Get Him to the Greek, and was cast in Honey 2.
Lark Voorhies (Actor) .. Lisa
Born: March 25, 1974
Birthplace: Nashville, Tennessee, United States
Trivia: A Tennessee native who grew up in California, Lark Voorhies is best known for playing shopaholic Lisa Turtle on the classic teen sitcom Saved by the Bell. Voorhies was just 16 when she signed on to play the role that would come to define her career, and she stayed with the show for its entire run. She went on to appear in several films, including 1997's The Last Don, and 2001's How High, as well as several music videos including Boyz II Men's "On Bended Knee" and Dru Hill's ""These Are the Times."
Dustin Diamond (Actor) .. Samuel `Screech' Powers
Born: January 07, 1977
Died: February 01, 2021
Birthplace: San Jose, California, United States
Trivia: Known to many as the nerdy character Screech, Dustin Diamond began playing the quirky role in 1988 on the series Good Morning, Miss Bliss. When the show's characters graduated from middle to high school, the show came to be known as Saved by the Bell, and Diamond became more well known than ever. The series ran until 1993, and after it was over, Diamond signed up for the spin-off, Saved by the Bell: The New Class. This time, Screech was part of the school administration instead of the student body, but the character was still iconic. So iconic, in fact, that when The New Class finished its run in 1999, Diamond had a hard time finding new roles. He'd played Screech for more than a decade, and audiences had a hard time seeing him play anyone else. He appeared on reality shows like Celebrity Boxing and The Weakest Link, and in 2007, he appeared on the show Celebrity Fit Club, in which he became infamous for his aggressive attitude and uncooperative antics. In 2009 he released a tell-all book, Behind the Bell.
