Dustin Diamond off-Broadway and Pee Wee Herman on-Broadway? I don't think New York can handle this...
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

I think it will be great for the show! I mean, I know it has been a while since Saved By the Bell, but he is most likely the same quirky guy. Things happen to people, but you have to forgive them and forget and move on to see what they can do! I can't wait to see his performances!

He seems like a truly reprehesible human being. He was on two seasons of MTV's Celebrity Fit Camp (oh, the shame that I know that!) and had to be the biggest steaming turd I'd witnessed. An act? Perhaps, but who would WANT to be seen that way.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

I performed in tonight's show with Dustin (and E.Davis). It was a great Prom tonight. And Dustin was not at all like how he was portrayed on Celebrity Fit Club. He seemed like a pretty good guy and seemed to be having a blast improv-ing with the rest of us. After the show, we all went bar hopping and saw him do some standup at a comedy club. Judging from the night I spent with him, he's not at all like the character they made him out to be on that reality show. He genuinely enjoyed being in the show, being a part of the company, and hanging out with us. Just thought I'd report.

Anyone who gives Kimberly Locke a sex toy of himself and tells her she needs to use it is pretty much dead to me. What a slob.

He claims the "character" he portrayed on Celebrity Fit Club was scripted. Who knows if he tells the truth about that. But I've met him in person and it seems he's not such a douche, at least 24/7. I can say he was considerate enough to try to avoid TMZ so as not to bring any bad press to The Awesome 80s Prom because he is actually having a good time in the show. (He was unsuccessful at dodging them; they were waiting by the side exit at the club we were at.)

Well Kimberly Locke is a singer, not an actress and she got very upset and cried when he was sexually aggressive towards her. Like I said, I don't care for him. If he was "scripted" (doubtful) I have no idea why he would take such a repulsive role.

The difference is those are civilian women who are put in each other's path to create low level social drama.

Dustin Diamond is an actor who wants to continue to work. I have no idea why he would be a pig on TV and not expect it hurt his credibility or public persona. I understand you work with him and he's lovely, but he has irreparably hurt his image with how he has chosen to show himself both on TV and in the adult entertainment industry.

For the record, I have NO TOLERANCE for men who are inappropriately sexually aggressive to women. Its a total deal breaker for me. Its not personal to Dustin.
