Gosselaar first came to public notice as the star of the hit television comedy series ''[[Saved by the Bell]]'', which aired on [[NBC]] from 1989 to 1993. His character, [[Zack Morris (Saved by the Bell)|Zack Morris]], was adapted from the short-lived [[Disney Channel]] sitcom ''[[Good Morning, Miss Bliss]]''; although that show was cancelled after one season, NBC executives believed that a similar show, with Zack Morris as the lead, had potential for success. He reprised the role in two TV movies and a less-successful spin-off, ''[[Saved by the Bell: The College Years]]''. In 1994, he appeared as Zack Morris in a second spin-off series ''[[Saved by the Bell: The New Class]]'' in the episode "Goodbye, Bayside – Part 2", along with [[Mario Lopez|Mario López]] as [[A.C. Slater]] and [[Lark Voorhies]] as [[Lisa Turtle]].
In 1996, he appeared in the TV-film ''[[She Cried No]]'', as a college student who date-rapes his best friend's sister at a fraternity party. In 1998, he starred in the feature film ''[[Dead Man on Campus]]''. Later that same year, Gosselaar played the central character in the TV drama ''[[Hyperion Bay]]'', which lasted 17 episodes. In 2001, he starred in the movie ''The Princess and the Marine'', with [[Marisol Nichols]]. He also starred in the short-lived [[The WB Television Network|WB]] series ''D.C.'' From 2001 to 2005, he played Detective John Clark on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]]'s ''[[NYPD Blue]]''. During his time on the show, he appeared in ''[[Atomic Twister]]'' in which he played Jake Hannah, a deputy who is traumatized over his mother's death and must help after a series of tornadoes hits a nuclear power plant in a small Tennessee town; the movie also stars fellow ''NYPD Blue'' alum [[Sharon Lawrence]], who plays Corrine Maguire. After the series ended, he joined the cast of ABC's ''[[Commander in Chief (TV series)|Commander in Chief]]'', which lasted only one season. He appeared on the [[HBO]] series ''[[John from Cincinnati]]''. He then gained the starring role of defense attorney Jerry Kellerman in the [[Steven Bochco]]-produced ''[[Raising the Bar (2008 TV series)|Raising the Bar]]'', which debuted on September 1, 2008, on [[Turner Network Television|TNT]], then it was canceled in November 2009 after two seasons.<ref>{{cite news| title=TNT Cancels Mark-Paul Gosselaar's Raising the Bar| url=http://www.eonline.com/news/155758/tnt-cancels-mark-paul-gosselaar-s-raising-the-bar| work=[[E!
