Chyna, Paris, Farrell, why not add Screech to the list right?

Dustin Diamond Sex Tape
Former teen TV star Dustin Diamond is reportedly the star of a candid new sex tape in which he romps with two women. The 29-year-old, who played geek Screech Powers in Saved By The Bell, engages in a number of sexual acts with the women in the 40-minute tape. Agent David Hans Schmidt has acquired the rights and is currently seeking a distributor for Saved By The Smell. Schmidt tells the New York Daily News, “Just when you think you have seen everything in this business, mankind has raised the bar another notch. Or lowered it.” Diamond’s manager Roger Paul hopes the tape will raise his client’s profile and help resurrect the acting career that collapsed when Saved By The Bell ended in 1997. He says, “I haven’t seen the tape. I’ve heard rumors. Dustin has been trying to escape the Screech typecast. So this may help me get more bookings.” Diamond will welcome any royalties he gets from the tape – in June he launched a campaign to save his home from foreclosure, by selling autographed T-shirts on the internet.
Just plain weird…

Haha, too bad. He got typecast, that’s what happens.
You know Hugh Jackman said he didn’t want to play Wolverine too much longer, to avoid being typecast? His example at the time was Pierce Brosnan, playing James Bond.
Hey, wait a minute, now that sucks even more for Pierce Brosnan. He’s typecast as a character he’s not allowed to play anymore! haha
I don’t think people can really get typecast if they do a bunch of characters around the time that they are doing their big franchise name character. Like I won’t see Christian Bale as Batman all the time, I’ve seen him in tons of movies before it, so he won’t get typecast as it. But Pierce Brosnan is done, which is definately a reason why it sucks that he stuck not playing that role. William Shatner and Leonard Nemoy are stuck in their roles as Captain Kirk and Spock. Mark Hamil and Carrie Fisher are done with their roles as Luke Skywalker and Princess Lea. Robert Englend is stuck as Freddy Kruger.
The list goes on and on, but these people only did those characters and nothing else during the time that they were acting in those films. I think people are a little more smart than that now. Or at least they should be.
True, true. That’s a good point, actors should be more smart now.
Sir Alec Guinness apparently didn’t like what being Obi Wan did to his career…

no, the reason why his character dies in the first Star Wars movie is because he didn’t understand anything he was saying and hated the shoot so he asked that he be killed off. Little did he realize the power of the Force!
Seriously! It’s not like he could get out of the movies, anyway. He ended up being a ghost or something.
yeah! I guess it was better being in the movie for a short period of time then the whole movie.
