Dustin Diamond

Dustin Neil Diamond (born January 7, 1977 in San Jose, California), is an American actor who gained fame during the 1990s as Screech Powers, a nerdy character in the popular sitcom, Saved by the Bell.

Personal Life

While working on Saved by the Bell, members of the cast regularly dated each other. Diamond, who was considerably younger than the rest of the cast, was not a part of this, although he has claimed to have dated many of the show's extras. He was also said to have had a relationship of some sort with Full House's Candace Cameron.

He has plans to write a book about his experience growing up as a child actor. Rumors have circulated that he is the brother of Beastie Boy Michael Diamond, aka Mike D, as well as that he is the son of singer Neil Diamond, both of which are untrue. Oddly enough, his real father, Mark Diamond did in fact make an appearance in a Saved by the Bell episode, where he played a science teacher who threatened to "...experiment with their grades."
