Diamond is most known for his role as Screech on “Saved By The Bell.” He was not included in the cast of the reboot that aired in Nov. of 2020.
Diamond has become somewhat controversial since his appearance on the show.
In 2006, he released a sex tape titled, “Screeched- Saved By The Smell.” Diamond later claimed that he wasn’t actually in the sex tape and had used a stunt double during an interview with The Daily Beast.
“I faked that one at a chance for millions,” Diamond told the outlet. “I’m an opportunist, really.”
“Needless to say it did not make millions,” he added. “But I had to take the shot. I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t.”
