Blame Haley Joel Osment and his necrosight. Dustin Diamond, has passed away due to his cancer. He was the black sheep of the SBTB cast and the one struck the hardest after SBTB ended. Everyone else still had a career... IIRC, Lark Voorhees retired from acting due to health issues. Mario, Mark-Paul, and the beautiful goddess who blesses this Earth still had careers after SBTB... Hell, Elizabeth Berkley bounced back from Showgirls. Diamond was the only one who couldn't shake off Screech. Unlike say, Jaleel White, who was able to get a career outside Urkel; Diamond was cursed by Screech's shadow.
This "curse" led to the infamous book where lies and truth were intertwined in a tale that made everyone in SBTB look like a bunch of assholes. Sure he did a couple of reality show appearances as a washed out celebrity has-been due to Screech, but that's not having a real career.
He also faced jail time after stabbing a dude. Seriously, that dude is now the biggest pussy in the planet. He got shanked by Screech.
But, as always, my condolences to the family and friends. Also, Thank you, Mr. Diamond for all the laughs. You might have hated Screech, but he was the true Hero of Saved By The Bell... not Trash Morris.
