While many of the other former castmembers of the 90′s TVs series Saved By The Bell are enjoying relatively happy lives these days (and were invited to participate in the recent People magazine reunion of the cast), it turns out that Dustin Diamond (who played Samuel Screech Powers on SBTB) is not doing so well by comparison. RadarOnline reports that Diamond is being sued for unpaid property taxes and his car has already been repossessed. If you add to that the fact that the guy looks like the living embodiment of the Quagmire character from Family Guy and, well, you’ve got a dude who is in dire straits:

Train wreck actor Dustin Diamond is being sued for more than $21,000 in unpaid property taxes and had his car repossessed, RadarOnline.com learned exclusively. The 32-year-old actor, who found fame playing dorky Samuel “Screech” Powers on the TV hit Saved By The Bell , seems to have hit hard times judging by financial court actions against him. RadarOnline.com discovered that Screech was sued by Ford Motor Credit Company on November 26, 2008, for $544 which resulted in the repossession of his 2005 Ford Expedition. And he hasn’t been saved by the bell from the Department of Revenue in Wisconsin, either. On June 30 of this year Screech was sued by the department for $21,015.62 in unpaid taxes against his property in Port Washington, Wisconsin. He previously had been tagged with a small claim by the Wisconsin Electric Power Company, on March 3, 2009. That was settled. After Saved By The Bell ended in 2000 Diamond appeared in a few reality shows, including The Weakest Link, Celebrity Boxing 2 and Celebrity Fit Club. In 2006 he infamously starred in a porn tape Screeched, aka Saved By The Smell, which showed him engaging in various acts with two women. Diamond – who has also done stints as a stand-up comic – claimed that the tape was leaked as a mistake but his manager conceded that he hoped it might raise his profile.

To be entirely honest, when Diamond‘s utterly disgusting sex tape hit the market I lost pretty much all respect for him as a person. But, hearing about his sad financial situation only makes me feel sorry for him. It’s clear he piddled away all the money he made from Saved By The Bell and he completely alienated all of his former castmates who reportedly want to have nothing to do with him (or have him included in any SBTB reunions). One hopes that Diamond will be able to bounce back from his legal woes … so long as he doesn’t leak any further sex tapes to “raise his profile”. Ugh.
