'Screech' Actor Turns to Fans for Help
'I'm Doing Great With My Comedy, but This Is Definitely a Low Point'
MILWAUKEE (June 18) - More than a bell is needed to save Dustin Diamond this time around. Diamond, best known as geeky Screech Powers on the 1989-1993 teen comedy series "Saved by the Bell," is selling T-shirts with his photo on them to try to raise $250,000 so he doesn't lose his gray two-story house under a foreclosure order.
"If the public didn't care, I as an entertainer wouldn't have been a success," he said.
Diamond, 29, is trying to sell nearly 30,000 shirts -- at $15 or $20 (autographed) each -- to supplement the income he makes as a standup comic so he doesn't have to move from his Port Washington home, about 25 miles north of Milwaukee.
The T-shirt has a photo of Diamond holding a sign that says, "Save My House." The back of the shirt reads, "I paid $15.00 to save Screeech's house." The third "e" was added to get around copyright laws, he said.
He's selling the shirts on his Web site: www.getdshirts.com.
The foreclosure order was filed last month in Ozaukee County Circuit Court.
Diamond appeared on Howard Stern's satellite radio show Tuesday to plead his case. "I'm doing great with my comedy, but this is definitely a low point," he said. "Real life comes in and affects you."
Diamond doesn't have a listed phone number, and e-mails to the address on his Web site and at an alternative address were not immediately returned Thursday.

This is EXACTLY what I thought when I read this. Why in the hell should I feel bad for him and his poor moneymanagement skills.
I know people doing three jobs to make ends meet.

Is that really true? I heard that is really an urban legend. Another question though, what about his residuals from "Saved by the Bell"? Shouldn't he still be getting them? The show still airs and very frequently.

I was thinking that too.
His mortgage could not have been all that much- real estate in Wisconsin is cheap. Even if it's a really nice house.
I think the extra "e" thing is sort of sneaky too. I don't feel bad for him, unless I hear that he's broke because he's taking care of a sick parent or something.

Re: 'Screech' Actor Turns to Fans for Help
I had to look this up...Screech is NOT a brother of Mike D from the Beastie Boys...that is some silly rumor...
I was a HUGE Beastie Boys fan back in the good ol days...
