Dustin Neil Diamond was born on January 7, 1977, in San Jose, California, United States. He was raised by tech-savvy parents—his father was a digital electronics teacher for a computer processing firm, and his mother worked as a computer operator for Pacific Bell. Of mixed ethnicity, his heritage includes Ashkenazi Jewish, English, Irish, and Scottish roots. Diamond began his on-screen career at the age of 10, playing the role of Young Stiles in the movie The Price of Life.
Dustin Diamond gained fame for portraying the lovable, nerdy character Samuel "Screech" Powers on the television sitcom Saved by the Bell, as well as in its three spin-offs, including the original Disney series Good Morning, Miss Bliss. He played the role for approximately 12 years, from age 11 to 23. Although the character became iconic during the 1990s, Diamond’s acting career faced challenges after the series ended, with subsequent achievements often overshadowed by controversies.
Following his time on Saved by the Bell, Diamond remained active in television and film, participated in reality TV, and explored stand-up comedy and music. He formed a band in which he played bass and contributed as a writer. However, he struggled to achieve the same level of success that he experienced during his portrayal of Screech.
Diamond was previously married to Jennifer Misner, with whom he suffered a miscarriage in December 2004. The couple later founded the Dustin Diamond Foundation to support child care organizations. They divorced in 2009.
At the time of reporting, Diamond was engaged to Amanda Schutz, known for her blue-highlighted, medium-length hair. Schutz is a professional clown and founder of the clown group Loli Pop Entertainment.
Dustin Diamond stood at 5 feet 11.5 inches tall and maintained a tall, slender build. In his later years, he adopted a short hairstyle and a Van Dyke beard, though he was once recognized for his voluminous Jewfro hairstyle. Despite his physical transformation, Diamond remained instantly recognizable as the actor who embodied Screech.
