They were spot on when they cast the guys Sam Kindseth (Dustin Diamond), Dylan Everett (Mark-Paul Gosselar) & Julian Works (Mario Lopez)
As for the females, Tierra, Alyssa & Kendall are pretty girls but look nothing like Elizabeth, Tiffani & Lark.

None of the actors they cast look anything like the real people.
shareI thought they did a good job with the casting. Besides...nobody is going to look 'exactly' like the actors.

They look nothing like the original cast. My favorite is the one they got to portray Zach Morris. He doesn't look anything like him. He looks more like he could play a young version of Corey Feldman.
shareWhile I disagree on the "They look nothing like the original cast" bit, you got the Corey Feldman similarity spot on!!
shareI don't care that the cast doesn't resemble the original characters that much, but what really bothers me the most is the height, or lack there of, of the girl playing Jessie.
She's shorter than most of the cast and Jessie is very tall.

Epic failure on the casting and the whole project in general. These kids look nothing like the original cast.

There is absolutely no reason to make this little tv movie. The original was perfect. "SBT","SBTB" The College Years were both excellent. That mess at the beach left a lot to be desired, as well as that thing that only had Screech on it. I used to watch this with my daughter and we loved it!
Here lies Lester Moore. Four slugs from a .44. No Les, no more.
Serious question, would you rather the cast be:
A. Look like the original cast perfectly, BUT not have any of the charisma or personality of the real people.
OR
B. They look sorta like the real cast, sorta not, but have it were it counts (THEY CAN ACT LIKE THEM).
People love to poke holes, but they forget that these kids were cast more for their acting abilities as opposed to if they matched every solitary detail of another person's facial structure. That's ridiculous expectations.
Mexico- God's blind spot.
They don't have to be exact look alikes but I want to be able to tell who is playing who.. Which I can. I just want them to embody that character and play them correctly.
shareWell, they looked nothing like the originals, and the acting was horrible.
shareThe Zack and Slater actors seem too short, although the guy playing Slater does look a bit like him. The Screech actor seems too tall and not nearly as gay as the real Dustin Diamond
shareI would prefer random actors who can act. If they went with the original actors, we would all be saying "These dudes look old; like the "high school" students in "Grease?

They couldn't have found a more wooden and untalented group of kids if they tried. They made the original cast look like Oscar winners.
Remember kids, dressing up like Hitler in school isn't cool!share
