Zoiks! Gadzooks! WTF?

Dustin Diamond as Samuel "Screech" Powers

Word of advice: If your kid's an actor and he's offered a nerd part, turn it down. Sure, the money might be seductive. The dreams of fame might be enticing. But remember, it's hard enough being a nerdy kid in real life without being the stereotypical nerdy kid for all of America. Seriously, no good can come from such a choice. As was the case with Dustin Diamond, but we'll get to that. It was a promising start. Diamond played Samuel "Screech" Powers for 13 years through all incarnations of the series, from "Good Morning, Miss Bliss" to "Saved by the Bell" through "Saved by the Bell: The College Years" and "Saved by the Bell: The New Class," where Screech became Mr. Belding's assistant — an especially pathetic grown-up version of his nerdy self.

Dustin Diamond: Now Clearly, Dustin was negatively affected by
the unshakable association with his most famous character. Sure, he’s had a
little work since "Bell": cameos in movies like "Dickie Roberts: Former Child
Star," a turn in the ring on "Celebrity Boxing 2," an unsuccessful attempt at
stand-up comedy, an anger-fueled stint on "Celebrity Fit Club," and the
instructional AND entertaining "Dustin Diamond Teaches Chess" (that'll help you
shake that geeky image). What's a bankrupt nerd to do? Make a sex tape, leak it
yourself, and wait for the fame to roll in. How'd that work out for ya,
Dusty?


Seriously, this douche and Urkel need to appear on "I'm a Celebrity, Get me out of here!!" Except, let's not...
