Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Jane Alexander, et al. to Lead TNT Films

TNT is launching Mystery Movie Night, which will feature original films on the network. Recently announced leads include Mark-Paul Gosselaar joining the previously announced Carla Gugino in "Hide," which is based on the novel penned by Lisa Gardner of the same name.

Mark-Paul Gosselaar's prolific television career began in 1989 when he played his iconic role, "Zach Morris," on the wildly popular teen television show, "Saved by the Bell". In June 2009, Gosselaar appeared on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" and conducted the interview in character as the beloved "Zach Morris" from "Saved by the Bell". Later that year, he appeared in Roundabout Theatre Company's THE UNDERSTUDY. Gosselaar currently stars in the TNT series "Franklin and Bash."

Jane Alexander will join Kathy Najimi and Scottie Thompson in "Deck the Halls," which is also based on a novel, this one by Mary Higgins Clark. 

Alexander's major break in acting came in 1967 when she played Eleanor Backman in the original production of Howard Sackler's The Great White Hope at Arena Stage in Washington, DC. Like her co-star, James Earl Jones, she went on to play the part both on Broadway (1968), winning a Tony Award for her performance, and in the film version (1970), which earned her an Oscar nomination. In 1993, President Bill Clinton appointed Alexander chair of the National Endowment for the Arts, the organization that had provided partial funding for The Great White Hope at Arena Stage.

Alexander's additional screen credits include All the President's Men (1976), Kramer vs. Kramer (1979), and Testament (1983), all of which earned her Oscar nods, Brubaker (1980), The Cider House Rules (1999), and Fur (2006), in which she played Gertrude Nemerov, mother of Diane Arbus played in the film by Nicole Kidman.
