I recently discovered an old archived entry on TVWiki.tv for Dustin Diamond. TVWiki.tv is an apparently defunct website, although it was an alternative to Wikipedia at one point. There is quite a bit of information in this entry which is omitted from the corresponding Wikipedia entry for Dustin Diamond, including many of Diamond's "lost" tv and movie roles:

Early Life
Diamond attended Zion Lutheran School in Anaheim. His first job involved working as a male prostitute at a Los Angeles-area highway rest stop. He later auditioned for the lead role in cult classic Cool As Ice, but was rejected because he was too young at the time, and was limited to appearing in only one bathroom scene and some other scenes that were cut from the movie anyway. He also appeared briefly in Big Top Pee-wee as well. Dustin later claimed that Pee-Wee had ripped an enormous fart in his face during the filming of this movie and from that moment on he was flaming gay.Screech and Saved by the Bell
Of course, his most pivotal role, and that which would become irreversably tied to his image, was the role of Samuel "Screech" Powers on Saved by the Bell, a role he played for close to thirteen years, from its beginning as Good Morning, Miss Bliss, to its ultimate incarnation as Saved by the Bell: The New Class. It could be argued that, with the possible exception of Mr. Belding, no one character is as closely identified with the show as Screech.He was originally supposed to have an extremely high pitched, almost squealing voice, but instead it was decided that the character would possess a quirky, although not so over the top tone instead. The show originally aired on The Disney Channel under the Miss Bliss title (now referred to as Saved By the Bell: The Junior High Years), featuring Hayley Mills in the titular role. After a year, the show was brought over to NBC and repackaged into its more well-known incarnation. Of all the show's characters, only Screech, Zack Morris, Lisa Turtle, and Mr. Belding made the jump from JFK Junior High in Indiana, to Bayside High in Palisades, California, although the incredibly abrupt change in venue was never acknowledged, much less explained.
Screech was more often than not a pivotal figure in the schemes and pranks of the Bayside gang, from pretending to be an alien (which almost resulted in his dissection at the hands of the government), to getting kidnapped and viciously ass-raped by rival high school Valley in the ongoing inter-school "Prank War", to dating best friend Zack Morris' father, and in one instance even winning the "Miss Gay Bayside" Pageant, in spite of an impressive drum solo performed by A.C. Slater. His parents, who were extremely obsessed with all things Elvis-related, were never seen, aside from one episode where his mother leaves him in charge of the house as his parents went on a vacation to Graceland, which naturally led to an episode spanning dilemma involving a broken Elvis statue and a torn butthole.
In the episodes his robot Kevin is also occasionally shown, and he himself makes numerous references to his insect, animal, and gay porn collections. He has also been shown dressing up as (and flamboyantly parading about like) Liberace, impersonating Zack on numerous occasions, and stereotypically portraying a Native American for Zack's school project. He claims to be descended from the "Gay Italian lover and spy", Luigi Powerelli, making it clear that he is part greasy Italian.
In the final episode of the first season, he willingly relinquishes his anal virginity to AC Slater, knowing how much it meant to him.
Continuing the series into college, Saved by the Bell: The College Years again inexplicably shows most of the cast transplanted into not only the same college, but also the same college dorm. The most notable of Screech's actions in this series involve him stealing a canister of farts from the chemistry lab, in order to gain acceptance from other students attending a rave, after Slater belittles him about being a faggot-ass screwup. In another episode, Zack walked in on Screech servicing the penis and ass needs of his dorm's RA, Mr. Rogers. For a brief time Screech moved into Mr. Rogers room, where the enormous ex-NFL player never wore pants, crapped on the floor, and butt-slammed Screech many times daily!
After the end of that series, he quickly returned to Bayside High as Mr. Belding's assistant in The New Class episodes, remaining with the show until its cancellation. Several storyline arcs from The New Class episodes centered around a growing homosexual relationship between Screech and Mr. Belding. In one of the later episodes of The New Class, Mr. Belding catches Screech staring at him while he is taking a piss at a urinal. Other storyline arcs centered around Screech's burgeoning form of adult-onset Down's Syndrome.
Appearances After Saved by the Bell
Diamond has kept busy professionally since the popular teenager sitcom was cancelled: He has been featured on a number of TV shows, including The Weakest Link, and has participated in a celebrity boxing contest, professional wrestling matches, and has participated in several gay pornos. He also has released a video, entitled Dustin Diamond Teaches Chess, where he shows various techniques for becoming a huge homo and a better chess player.Diamond made several guest appearances on Life Goes On, where he portrayed a young man with Down's Syndrome who is coming to grips with his homosexual desires. In the episodes he is the gay lover of the star, Corky. His character contracts HIV after sucking off Corky and several other dudes in a men's room at a highway rest stop in a scene that Diamond ad-libbed.
Diamond made a notable cameo appearance as himself in the movie Made, where Vince Vaughn's character incredulously questions a doorman at a club as to why "Screech" was allowed into the venue while he was not. He also appeared in Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star as himself as well. He is only shown in a few scenes - Dickie is hanging out with a bunch of former child stars in a apartment and Dickie's sitcom rehearsal. In one notable scene, Dickie Roberts and Barry Williams give Diamond a golden shower.
His appearance on The Opie and Anthony Show is generally considered to have contributed to one of the worst episodes of that show ever.
Diamond appeared as himself in a commercial for Trivial Pursuit 90's edition.
DustinDiamond.com and Other Websites
In 2003, Diamond alienated his gay fanbase by filing a lawsuit for ownership of http://www.DustinDiamond.com, a parody website owned by Max Goldberg which largely promoted the idea that Screech Powers was the constant victim of homosexual rape by any and all other characters. He lost that case, although the website has apparently shut down nonetheless, as a result of its forums being overloaded with spam bots, as well as Goldbergs new concentration placed towards his then-upcoming site, You're The Man Now DogOther sites have popped up since the verdict, including DustinDiamondLove, a forum site formed in 2005 by Maxwell Nerdstrom (unrelated to Goldberg), and Gayporn.org. These new sites largely features the same content.
Salty the Pocketknife
Diamond is currently a stand-up comedian and gay porn star. At one time he was the bass player in the band Salty The Pocketknife. However, harassment perpetrated by DustinDiamond.com contributors led to the closing of the band's forum section on their website, and at some time afterward the website was hacked by a group calling itself "The Iranian Black Hat", and has not as yet been repaired. There have also been documented cases of band members being harassed on AOL Instant Messenger as well, with references to Screech invariably making their way into the conversations. The future of the band is unknown.Currently Diamond is being sued by Salty the Pocketknife's former label. Diamond, 39, who lives in Milwaukee, is being sued in Montgomery County Court by Ambler music producer/distributor Sonance Entertainment. The claim: Diamond - bassist in a band called Salty the Pocketknife - did nothing to promote the band's CD and left Sonance on the hook for CDs. Among the choice cuts are such homo-erotic classics as "Rim Goblin," "Red Panties 145," "Magic Garbage Ride," "Gloryhole Blues" and the burning track "Pour No Gasoline."
Sonance, headed by Rick Frimmer and represented in court by Lawrence Pauker of Norristown, seeks in excess of $200,000.
The suit says Sonance arranged a promotional trip to New York, but Diamond "failed to wake up for scheduled radio interviews, complained about his picture not being on a billboard in Times Square, and spent almost a full afternoon auditioning for a television part that had nothing to do with the Salty CD." The suit also alleges that although Diamond had promised to promote the CD on Jay Leno's and Howard Stern's shows, he never reached out to Leno's people and Stern's crew turned him down.
Daniel W. McCartney of Norristown, representing Diamond, said Diamond "is gayer than AIDS."
Personal Life
While working on Saved by the Bell, members of the cast regularly dated each other. Diamond, who was considerably younger than the rest of the cast, was not a part of this, although he has claimed to have dated Dennis Haskins and many of the show's extras. He was also said to have had a relationship of some sort with Full House's John Stamos.In the mid-1990s, Diamond was romantically involved with Down's Syndrome actor Chris Burke, then-MTV VJ Kurt Loder, and HIV+ comedian JM J Bullock.
One of his best childhood friends was fellow actor Jeremy Miller, who starred on Growing Pains.
In his book "Behind the Bell" Diamond discusses the embarrassment he faced when his co-stars found out that at the age of 17 he still wore diapers.
He has plans to write a book about his experience growing up as a child actor. Rumors have circulated that he is the brother of Beastie Boy Michael Diamond, aka Mike D, as well as that he is the son of singer Neil Diamond, both of which are true. Oddly enough, his adoptive father, Mark Diamond did in fact make an appearance in a Saved by the Bell episode, where he played a science teacher who threatened to "...experiment with their grades" and have sex with Screech.
Dustin operates a charity known as the Dustin Diamond Foundation, which supports organizations which specialize in child care. This foundation was created after the miscarriage of his first child.
Diamond currently resides in southeastern Wisconsin with his wife Jennifer, where stories of his harassment by Screech "fans" persist. Screech "fans" have reportedly shit in his mailbox, slashed his tires, and pissed on his house.
The "Blue Oyster," a bar in southeastern Wisconsin, offers a popular mixed drink called the "Screech teabag" which includes 4 shots of vodka, a shot of piss, a dash of semen, and cherry Hi-C.
In December 2014 Diamond was arrested for stabbing another man at a bar in Port Washington, WI. According to reports, Diamond tried to pull the balls out of the man's pants while they were both waiting for a drink at the bar. When the other man asked him to stop, Diamond became irate and stabbed him with a pocket knife. Diamond then sniffed the man's ass crack before leaving the bar.
In 2015 Diamond was found guilty of of sniffing the man's ass, and was sentenced to four months in jail. After a pathetic ruse of an appeal, a penniless Diamond was forced to give up and will report to jail on January 15th, 2016. It is expected he will be welcomed with many hot carls, a few diarrhea sprays, and some nasty farts to his face. Public officials hope that Diamond does not infect the jails population with Down's Syndrome, or the SuperAids which Diamond is known to carry.
