who played chief henry in saved by the bell
List of Saved by the Bell characters Chief Henry (portrayed by Dehl Berti) is an American Indian (in "Running Zack" [2.13]) with whom Zack bonds during his family history project. Zack initially tries to skip the project because he has a big track meet coming up, and later gives an insulting presentation that leads the teacher to refer him to the Chief. While they quickly become good friends, Henry dies suddenly, with Zack lamenting that they had hardly had time to get to know each other. Later, Henry's ghost appears to Zack, giving him a gift and encouraging him to run at the school track meet.
