What happened to the actors in Saved by the Bell?
From pornography to jail, acting and family life
Actor
Dustin Diamond,
known for playing
Screech
in the hit youth series of the 90s
Saved by the Bell,
died this Monday at age 44 of cancer, according to the
TMZ
portal
.
On January 14, the actor was admitted to a
Florida
hospital
after suffering "pain throughout his body and a feeling of general discomfort."
Three days later the doctors determined the disease, a stage 4 lung cancer, which indicates a metastasis or spread of the disease to organs other than those in which the cancer originated, and began receiving chemotherapy and other treatments.
As
The Hollywood Reporter
records
,
at just 11 years old, Diamond landed the role that would mark his career: that of the nerd Screech in Saved by the Bell.
The US network
NBC
aired all four seasons of the series between 1989 and 1992, although Diamond later reappeared in other fictional derivatives such as
Years of College, The New Generation
and
Wedding in Las Vegas.
When the last episode of the series aired, the actor was 23 years old.
Later, Diamond tried his luck as a comedian and participated in various
reality shows.
But it was his flirtations with porn, his testimony about what was happening behind the scenes of
Saved by the Bell
and his problems with justice that made the most headlines in his biography.
In 2006, Diamond starred in the pornographic film
Screeched, Saved by the Smell,
although he later claimed that it was not really him and that his face was added in post-production to the body of a double.
In 2009 he published
Behind the bell,
(Behind the bell), a biography where he assures that all the members of the adolescent cast, except him, slept together, starred in threesomes and some even used drugs during filming.
Later, he alleged that he had not written this book either and that the author had misinterpreted his comments.
To top it off, in 2015 he was convicted of stabbing a man during a bar fight, entered prison, and shortly after his release he returned to prison for violating probation.
His then partner,
Amanda Schutz, who was
convicted of disorderly
conduct,
also participated in the altercation
.
In 2020,
Saved by the Bell
returned to American television, this time on the
Peacock
platform
,
with a sequel starring much of the original cast, including
Zack (Mark-Paul Gosselaar), Jessie (Elizabeth Berkley), Slater (Mario Lopez), Kelly (Tiffani Thiessen), Lisa (Lark Voorhies)
and
Max (Ed Alonzo).
Although the absence of Diamond was not officially commented on, his various controversies kept the actor away from the possible reunion.
In the series it was said that Screech was living on the
International Space Station
with a robot he had created.
