“Saved by the Bell” One of the most iconic TV shows of the ’90s, it made mega stars from its young cast members. Now, a reboot of “Saved By The Bell” is premiering on NBC’s Peacock streaming service, and it will feature much of his original cast alongside a new generation of charismatic high school students.
Belmont Cameri, an up-and-coming actor from Chicago, is one of these new cast members aiming for stardom. He plays Jamie Spano, the captain of his high school football team and the son of Elizabeth his Berkeley original series his character Jesse. Like his character, Belmont played soccer in high school, but the similarities end there. In contrast, Belmont has always taken his studies very seriously, stating that he didn’t even think he wanted to act until he completed a year of his school of business. increase.
Belmont grew up in a close-knit family and is proud of his Italian heritage. He believes he inherited much of his acting talent and sense of humor from his father, who spoke at all his family’s functions. Belmont’s unusual name is also a legacy of his family. His name was Americanized to Belmont when his grandfather Belmont immigrated from Italy many years ago.
The 22-year-old Belmont has appeared in student films and a 2018 episode of “Empire,” but the “Saved by the Bell” reboot is his major TV debut. He started his career by modeling to get comfortable on set and make connections, but acting, writing and directing is his ultimate goal. Belmont moved to Los Angeles a year ago to audition. A hard worker in his own right, Belmont rejoices at the chance to work on his craft.
I’m happy to ask Belmont about his journey from Chicago to “Saved by the Bell.”
