Found

In the American procedural drama television series Found, Gosselaar played Hugh Evans (Sir), a serial kidnapper who abducted Gabrielle (Gabi) and held her captive for a year and eight days. Following Gabi’s escape on the day that Sir kidnapped Bella, Sir vanished and avoided detection for twenty years. Then Gabrielle kidnapped Sir, kept him imprisoned in her basement, and utilized him to assist her in resolving a few of her cases involving missing persons.

Recovery specialist Gabrielle “Gabi” Mosely and her crisis management team search for missing individuals who they think are disregarded by the system. Those who have either been abducted themselves or have a loved one who has been abducted make up her team of specialists. As a teenage girl, Gabi was also taken, and she covertly captured Hugh “Sir” Evans. She has been holding him captive in her basement for the past seven months. Sir’s expertise as a kidnapper and criminal is used by Gabi to help her solve cases.

Saved by the Bell

Gosselaar made an appearance as Mac’s father and former Bayside High student Zack Morris, who is currently the former governor of California. Admittedly, he entered the race for governor in order to avoid paying a $75 parking fine. Later, he eliminated $10 billion in state financing for education, forcing the closure of underfunded institutions like Douglas High. Kelly Kapowski, his high school sweetheart, is his wife.

The core protagonists from the original series are back together in their 40s, attempting to make sense of their lives 26 years after Zack and Kelly’s wedding. As a new class of students enrolls at Bayside High School, tensions develop because Zack Morris, the state’s governor at this point, closes all of the low-income high schools in the poor districts and moves the less fortunate students to better-performing, wealthier schools throughout the state, including Bayside.
