“Dustin was my first on-screen kiss.
He welcomed me with open arms onto the set ofSaved By the Bell.
As one can imagine being the newbie on a hit show was overwhelming for a 14-year-old girl.
He not only showed me around but made sure I was always ok.
Such a young gentleman.
He was kind, smart, and always making everyone laugh.
He was a great scene partner.
He was a really good guy.
I’m glad he’s out of pain.
He’s an icon to me professionally and personally.
