    It's clear to me that Engel lied/mislead people about his age for years.
    And thus I am a little surprised that he died at 88.

    Did you think he was older or younger than that?

    The article seems to have forgotten “poor people of color saved by the bell” as well as multiple TV movies including “the Bell can’t save Kelly from Zacks insane paranoia“

    But my favorite was the episode of law & Order criminal intent where Matt Keesler best known as the middleman


    plays Zach, who is suspected of screeches murder most foul!

    I believe that he let people think he was much young than that. He was
    born before 1940, and I think for a long time he let people think he was
    born c. the 1950s.

    It also says "Malibu CA" was for NBC - it wasn't: it was syndicated
    towards the end of TNBC, when NBC was about to abandon the lineup.

    But my favorite was the episode of law & Order criminal intent where Matt Keesler best known as the middleman

    Screech willing killed himself (basically) IRL.
