Best known for playing the
role of iconic nerd Samuel Screech Powers in the television sitcom Saved by the
Bell and it's three spinoffs including the original Disney series Good Morning,
Miss Bliss for 12 years (from age 11 to 23), Dustin Diamond's post Saved By The
Bell: The New Class Days achievements have been shadowed by his ever-arising
controversies.

Now moving on to his
physical configuration, Dustin is a tall man with the height of 5 feet and 11.5
inches. An American national of mixed ethnicity (father-<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashkenazi_Jews">Ashkenazi Jewish</a> and
mother- English, Irish, Scottish), Dustin currently enjoys a short hairstyle,
and a full beard Van Dyke style beard. Previously, he was famous for his Jewfro
hairstyle. Nevertheless, he has a tall-slender body.

Talking about his
relationship status, Dustin is a committed man. He is engaged to his fiancée Amanda
Schutz, a weighted beauty with blue-highlighted medium length hair. Previously,
he was married to his longtime girlfriend Jennifer Misner (divorced 2009).

Jenifer and Dustin went
through a miscarriage in December 2004. Later, the grief stricken couple opened
the Dustin Diamond Foundation to support organizations that specializes in
child care.

As of 2015, he is in a legal
mess. But fortunately, his previous jail sentence has been put on hold. If you
didn't know, he was charged with felony in late 2014 after a stabbing incident
during a bar brawl. However, he was originally convicted of carrying a
concealed weapon and disorderly conduct. According to him, he got involved in
the bar brawl only in safe defense and to save his girlfriend.

Unfortunately for Diamond,
this isn't the first time he's faced controversy since playing the role of lovable
nerd Screech. His past controversies include "Ponzi scheme-loan
controversy", "Sex-tape controversy" and "publishing a controversial
book".

Born on January 7, 1977, in San Jose,
California, U.S., to computer savvy parents (father – digital electronics
teacher for a computer processing firm, and mother- computer operator for
Pacific Bell), Dustin Neil Diamond started his on-screen career at the age of
10 with the role of Young Stiles in the movie 
The Price of Life.

Post Saved By the Bell saga,
Diamond has appeared on numerous on-screen roles (tv, movies and television), has
ignited his stand-up comedy career and has revived his musical interest (plays
bass and writer) forming a band, but he hasn't found success similar to
Screech.

Diamond is a classic example
of "child actors who couldn't make it Big in Hollywood." After Saved
By the Bell ended, Diamond went through a hard transitional phase. Often, such
transitional phase demands the child turned mature actor to be a smart decision
maker. The person should be extremely critical in choosing right roles and also
in media interaction.

Maybe playing a role for
such a long time limited him to be a versatile actor. Maybe he was confused by
the ways of Hollywood. Be what as it may, he won million of hearts playing the
most popular nerd of 90's in Saved by the Bell. 
Whatever be the case,
Diamond decision of leaking his own sex tape (with two women) invited him lots
of criticism in 2006. According to Diamond (from interview on Oprah Winfery
Network), the one thing he is most embarrassed about is the decision of
releasing the sex tape screeched.

Then, it was 2009 when he released
his book Behind the Bell, which included his Saved by the Bell experiences including
his past personal experience. In the book, he not only criticizes bad behavior
of his colleagues from the show, but also reveals his astonishing past such as
sleeping with 2000 woman (with some popular name included), and drugs and teen
sex allegations on the set.

Here, you can read what he said in his Oprah interview: 
"The hardest thing for a child star is giving up your
childhood…….You don't get a childhood really. I mean, professionally you got to
know your lines, rehearse and practice. You know, it was making sure that you
were the funniest in the best you could be because if you weren't funny you
could be replaced.

I didn't know what I was going to do. It was hard to get work
that wasn't screech con stuff. I wanted year two off just to myself cuz I felt
like I earned it. You know, I have been working the last 10 years every single
week and I felt lost.  As I matured, I
realize wow I was going to my rebellious teens in my twenties.

The sex-tape is the thing that I am most embarrassed about.
My buddy was at my house and the rumor I think that had been put on TV was
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_Hilton">Paris Hilton</a> had made $14 million dollars of the sex tape. And, my buddy said
14 million holy smokes that where is a Screech tape. You got to be worth at
least a million. And I thought yeah, yeah maybe. And, that's as simple as it
was and in my stupidity I thought you know I could totally fake this. I can get
a stunt person to take my place. It's my face but nothing else. Looking back
now at in my thirties I realize that was really dumb you know. I definitely got
some money off it but it wasn't worth what the fallout was. I mean people to
this day they look down on me. There's a lot of people they are like oh you
know 'how disgusting of you" and I didn't really do it.

The book was another disappointment applying I was a
first-time author. So, they had a ghost-writer. I talked to a guy few times.
So, the book has some truth in it and a lot of stories were just kind of
throways like you know; all kids were smoking pot and you know having sex
behind the scenes. That came about from another just another throway statement of…so
was anybody doing drugs or sleeping together on the set?

Well what do you think there is one chick with hormones and
you know fifteen-sixteen years old. That turned into you know factual trash
talking about everybody which really was - I have good thoughts and memories
towards everybody. I expected that was gonna be sent a copy to proofread and
okay, thumbs up and thumbs down. And I was sent the copy- Oh this is done.
What? Oh man there's gonna be fallout of that." 
One of the inductee of BBC 3
Top 100 Annoying People List of 2006, Dustin was once labeled as one
of the greatest kid stars by many. His current net worth is speculated to be
around 500 thousand US dollars. Well, he has suffered a lot in terms of finance
in the past. In 2006, he was trying to sell 30, 000 t-shirts at $15 – 20 each
to save his $250,000 home. The home was previously bought in a contract.
