'Screech' actor to profit from sex tape

'Saved by the Bell'

Dustin Diamond has decided against trying to ban a new sex tape, choosing to take a share of the profits instead.

The 29-year-old actor, who shot to fame as Samuel 'Screech' Powers in Saved By The Bell, explained to US Weekly: "I thought, I can spend a fortune fighting this or I can try and make a fortune."

Diamond, who embarked upon a stand-up career after his run on the comedy show, has recently been in the news thanks to his financial difficulties. In June it was reported that he was raising funds to save his house from repossession by selling T-shirts.
