David Hasselhoff: A Symbol of Reliability and Hope

Actor David Hasselhoff has become a symbol of reliability and hope for millions of television viewers, thanks to his roles in the series "Knight Rider" and "Baywatch". Born in Baltimore, Maryland, David began his acting career at the age of seven. His dreams of a Broadway musical career came to an end when he made a successful debut in the soap opera "The Young and the Restless" in 1973. Throughout the 80s, his career flourished as he starred in several films and TV series, with "Knight Rider" being the most successful among them.

A Successful Music Career

However, Hasselhoff's fame extended beyond the realm of acting. Since childhood, he had dreamt of a career in pop music, and in 1988, his dream became a reality when he met German composer and producer Jack White. Hasselhoff's contribution to the pop music industry includes several commercially successful albums such as "Night Rocker" (1985), "Lovin' Feelings" (1987), and "Everybody Sunshine" (1992).

From TV Star to Broadway

In 1989, he began starring in the popular TV series "Baywatch" as Mitch Buchannon. In 1996, Hasselhoff received his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and in 2000, he made his Broadway debut in the musical "Jekyll & Hyde". In 2008, he portrayed the Vice President of the United States in the video game Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3. In 2015, he appeared in the short film "Kung Fury" and performed a song in the end credits. The music video for the song, featuring edited scenes from the film with Hasselhoff, gained over 29 million views on YouTube as of August 7, 2017.

A Philanthropist at Heart

Hasselhoff dedicates a significant amount of time to charitable activities, as he is the founder of the "For Life" movement, which aims to raise funds for sick children. From 1989 to 2006, he was married to actress and businesswoman Pamela Bach, with whom he has two daughters, Taylor-Ann Janice Hasselhoff (born on May 5, 1990) and Hayley Amber Hasselhoff (born on August 26, 1992). After the couple's divorce, David was granted custody of the children.
