Dustin Diamond, the actor who portrayed lovable nerd Samuel “Screech” Powers across four incarnations of Saved by the Bell from 1988 to 2000, died Monday after a three-week battle with carcinoma. He was 44. Diamond’s agent, Roger Paul, confirmed the actor’s death to Rolling Stone.
“He was diagnosed with this brutal, relentless form of malignant cancer only three weeks ago,” Paul said in a statement. “In that time, it managed to spread rapidly throughout his system; the only mercy it exhibited was its sharp and swift execution. Dustin did not suffer. He did not have to lie submerged in pain. For that, we are grateful.
“Dustin Diamond was a character in and of himself: an unpredictable spitfire who always left us shocked, but never left us bored,” Paul added. “We please ask that you give room for privacy to our team and Mr. Diamond’s family during this tragic time, as we grieve and remember the memories spent together. This loss is as much stinging as it is sudden.”
At age 11, Diamond landed the role of Screech on the pilot of Good Morning, Miss Bliss in 1988. In a unique twist, the character was both a hopeless dork and the best friend of the coolest kid in school, Zack Morris. Good Morning, Miss Bliss lasted just one season before it was re-tooled as Saved by the Bell in 1989. Half the cast was let go, but Screech survived the transition and soon became a favorite of the young Saturday morning audience that quickly turned the show into a generational touchstone.

Mario Lopez would be my best guess

**RudyRuetigger** · 02-01-21, 05:10 PM

honestly, it was my favorite show growing up

yes he was bullied

but im not some anti-bullying advocate

now that we can look back, he got a raw deal and i blame his parents only

wasnt he like 3 years younger as well plus weird looking?

**Kermit** · 02-01-21, 05:22 PM

Screech's biggest accomplishment. Beating up a then 53 year old Horshack when he was 29.

I think that was one of the main problems with him on the show. He was in the same grade and supposed to be the same age, but was actually a couple years behind in maturity compared to the other kids.
