Dustin Diamond

Description

Dustin Diamond is one of the most recognizable faces in show business today. He attended Zion Lutheran School in Anaheim, California. At the age of 8 he was discovered in a department store imitating a mannequin. While in the fifth grade, he auditioned for and was selected out of more than 5000 hopefuls for the role of Samuel "Screech" Powers in the DISNEY/NBC television series "Good Morning Miss Bliss". His character was carried over to NBC's Television series "Saved By The Bell" which ran for 10 seasons. "Saved By The Bell" is still seen in syndication 16 times per week in 105 countries. Dustin has appeared in numerous Television Shows including "The Wonder Years" where he had a recurring role. He has also appeared in various music videos including the 98 Degrees video "I Do". One career highlight was being acknowledged at NBC's 75th Anniversary Celebration. With television, movies, and screenwriting it's hard to believe he also tours the country as a stand-up comic selling out colleges and comedy clubs around the country.

Dustin is also an accomplished musician and songwriter. He's the bass player in his band SALTY THE POCKETKNIFE, which just finished recording their debut album for Sonance Records. The self-titled record was released nationally on October 21, 2003. Dustin is no stranger to the big screen either. He has appeared in more than 18 feature films, including Made (which earned him a nomination for Best Cameo at the 2002 MTV Movie Awards), Jane White Is Sick and Twisted, and Dickie Roberts with David Spade.
