Ok, now we're getting a little carried away with the "_____ died" threads. People die every day. I mean, how obscure can it get?  I mean, if the guy who played Mr. Belding's assistant in Saved by The Bell dies...are we gonna have a thread about it too?

[mikepmcs]

You could possibly argue that TK Carter(Character name Milo Williams) on the first 2 seasons of Saved By the Bell could possibly be Mr Belding's assistant, but that would be a great stretch.  Now during the run of the most widely recognized Saved By the Bell years, Mr Belding did not have an assistant.

Well in 1993 "Saved By The Bell: The New Class" was born and it ran until 2000.  It was ailing in the early stages and they brought in none other than Samuel "Screech" Powers(Dustin Diamond) in 1994 to liven up the show.  He was cast as...you guessed it......"Mr Beldings assistant" so...."YES" is the answer to your last question.

If Dustin Diamond were to pass away, I believe the odds are very good that there would be a thread immediately posted stating "Screech" from Saved by the Bell, just died  or something very close.

Obviously I meant the black guy, TK Carter. If I'd been talking about Screech I would have said "the guy who played Mr. Belding's assistant in Saved by The Bell: The New Class dies..". Duh.....

Interest in the death of personalities varies, the passing of Harve Presnell (loved him in Fargo) is of more interest to me then that of Michael Jackson.
