It's unfortunate Dustin Diamond AKA Screech became a statistic of child actors f'ing up later on. But he'll always be a memorable and likable character on a TV show for an older generation. He seemed like a good dude, but he just didn't exercise discretion.

It's sad that his life spiraled down bad after the Saved By The Bell franchises ended. He went through a litany of issues unfortunately.

It's f'd up if his parents squandered his earnings as a kid if what he claimed was true. I think it caused him to file bankruptcy. He also claimed he unknowingly entered a bad housing deal which caused him to face foreclosure.

He had to do game shows and reality shows to eat after Saved By The Bell.

There was a sex tape with him in it, but he claimed it was a "stunt double" with his likeness used years later.

I still can't believe he wrote a book in the late 2000s that fabricated sordid conduct and drug use amongst the Save By The Bell cast. But he claimed a ghost writer was used and he didn't have any knowledge about the content written until it was published. It damaged his relationship with his co-stars.

I recall years ago that he stabbed someone in a bar brawl with a little shank!

But it was nice that he reconciled with Mario Lopez AKA A.C. Slater at least.


Too bad he wasn't in the Saved By The Bell reboot lately because he was one of the central characters. Money was the issue according to Lark Voorhies AKA Lisa Turtle.

It seemed like he was getting his life in order the last few years, and to have it end now is just tragic.
 
It's crazy man life is short...and I'm getting old, feels like yday I was watching saved by the bell before going to school, NY cats know..TBS 630-7 anyway R.I.P
 
It looks like his co-stars forgave him after that bogus book was written about them, and he was on good terms with them the last few years based on what I was reading up on this afternoon.

I think I previously read that he was wanted back in the reboot, but Lark Voorhies AKA Lisa Turtle elaborated it came down to money with him as I previously posted.

Here's some posts from his co-stars I came across...
