Baywatch: Where Are They Now? When you think about Baywatch, what’s the very first image that pops into your mind? Most likely, it’s the young cast members in tiny red bathing suits, running in slow- motion along the beach, kickboards in tow. While they might live on in eternal youth in the adoring eyes of fans, a lot of time has passed since the crew had any life- saving to do. With a cast known for their physical perfection and glowing youth, twenty or more years can make a major difference. So what have some of the most beloved cast members been up to all this time?
With the new Baywatch movie coming out in late May, it seems like it’s about time to check up on all the old cast members before the new generation emerges. As fun it is to watch The Rock and Zac Efron run around the beach, nothing beats the originals. ![]() News Review: 'Baywatch' Cast Is Sole Reason You Should Watch This Film Though the 'Baywatch' cast is full of talent, the plot leaves a lot to be desired.

One of the most recognizable Baywatch actresses, Pamela Anderson starred as the dedicated lifeguard and sexual icon C. J. Parker from 1.

Baywatch; Also known as: Baywatch Hawaii (1999–2001) Genre: Action drama: Created by: Michael Berk Douglas Schwartz Gregory J. Bonann: Starring: Notable cast. Today, Anderson still has a strong interest in meditation and yoga, and has grown extremely interested in veganism, animal rights, and other activist causes. Since leaving Baywatch, Anderson has campaigned against Kentucky Fried Chicken, seal hunting, animal testing, and more, and is extremely active in the animal- rights organization PETA. She’s even posed for a PETA ad that was banned in Quebec because it was considered too sexist! Aside from her work in animal rights, Anderson has been a spokeswoman for the MAC AIDS Fund and American Liver Foundation, an advocate for the cannabis legalization, and recently starred in an announcement criticizing the lack of regulations on the private mobile transportation industry and how it can lead to sexual assault. Even though she’s definitely still considered a sex icon (at 4. David Hasselhoff. Not only did Hasselhoff star as lead lifeguard Mitch Buchannon throughout the entire series, but produced the series for the first- run syndication market in 1. He even invested his own money, which worked out for him, as his contract allowed him royalties from rerun profits – which eventually gave him enough money to buy back the rights to Baywatch from NBC. After Hasselhoff took over, the show skyrocketed into popularity, securing Hasselhoff’s already illustrious career. Since the end of the show, Hasselhoff has become a major media personality, and frequently plays himself in television shows and films rather than fictional characters. In addition to acting and producing, Hasselhoff enjoys singing, and in 2. Kung Fury, which he also performed in. Wendie Malick. If you don’t picture Wendie Malick running along the beach, that’s probably because she never did: Malick appeared as Gayle Buchannon, the disapproving ex- wife of lead lifeguard Mitch Buchannon who spent most of her time in the courtroom instead of the water. Gayle mostly appeared during season one, and in sporadic episodes through 1. This allowed Malick to work on a lot of different projects during her time on Baywatch that advanced her career. Since ending Baywatch, Malick has appeared on a ton of movies and TV shows, and even worked as a voice actor for a series of animated shows like Jimmy Neutron, Kim Possible, and Bo. Jack Horseman. Most notably, Malick starred as Victoria Chase, a washed- up soap opera star, in the TVLand series Hot in Cleveland alongside Valerie Bertinelli, Jane Leeves, and Betty White. Like Anderson, Malick has dedicated a lot of her time to various organizations, including serving on the board of advocates for Planned Parenthood, board of directors for the Environmental Media Association, and on the advisory board for the Humane Society of the United States. Parker Stevenson. Every teenage girl’s dream, Parker Stevenson’s character Craig Pomeroy was a former lawyer who quit his job to become a full- time lifeguard in Season 1. Initially, he is married to a recurring character named Gina, but it is revealed in season 9 that they have gotten a divorce. After taking a break from Baywatch for the majority of the series, Stevenson returned as a recurring character in seasons 8 and 9. At that point, though, Stevenson’s days as a heartthrob were mostly over. Since the early 2. Stevenson has appeared in a series of small films and TV movies, and as a guest role in more popular TV shows like Bull. In addition to his acting, Stevenson has had a longstanding love of photography, and has worked as a serious photographer for many years. You can check out his work on his website Shadow.

Jackson is actually the second person to play Hobie, with the previous actor Brandon Call only playing him in Season 1. While on the show, Jackson faced a severe drug addiction which contributed to him leaving Baywatch, as the drugs made him believe he was above it. After being arrested, Jackson went to rehab and claims to be sober since 2. Since then, Jackson has mainly appeared on talk shows to discuss his role in Baywatch, life in the spotlight, and his road to recovery. However, his problems have not gotten any easier through sobriety: in 2. Celebrity Big Brother UK for sexually assaulting fellow cast- mate Chloe Goodman. Since then, he has remained outside of public view and has had no television appearances. Alexandra Paul. Alexandra Paul’s character, Stephanie Holden, is most remembered for one of the most tragic scenes of Baywatch, in which she is killed suddenly after a lightning strike. Stephanie had been one of the show’s main characters for years, pursuing a relationship with Mitch which dissolved into a strong friendship and respect. Since she left the show, Paul has maintained her Baywatch- level fitness even past the age of 5. Ironman races, and has been a vegan for the past 7 years. In 2. 01. 5, Paul became a certified health coach and runs her own wellness coaching business. Like many of her Baywatch co- stars, Paul has channeled a lot of her energy in recent years into advocating for animal rights, environmentalism, gay rights, and is a peace activist. She has been arrested for civil disobedience over a dozen times for a variety of reasons, and spent 5 days in jail in 2. While she generally has stopped acting in lead roles, Paul is very interested in documentaries; she has co- written and co- produced two award- winning documentaries. Gregory Alan Williams. Ironically for a Baywatch character, Williams’ character Garner Ellerbee absolutely hated the water. However, this doesn’t stop him from hanging out with the lifeguards and patrolling the beach! Believe it or not, this was only Williams’ second role, after scoring a role in the 1. Aside the Law. Since Baywatch ended, Williams’ career hasn’t slowed down at all: he has had steady work in film, television, and video games alike. In just the past two years, Williams has held recurring roles in a lot of popular televsion shows, including Greenleaf, Secrets and Lies, Game of Silence, and more. In addition to his acting, Williams enjoys writing, and has authored four books, most recently Heart of a. Woman, published in 2. Most notable, though, is his book about his experiences in the L. A. Erika Eleniak. Believe it or not, Eleniak’s first role was as a small role in E. T.: The Extra- Terrestrial when she was just 1. Just seven years later, she scored the role of rookie lifeguard Shauni Mc. Clain, who served as the female lead from seasons 1- 3. However, after disagreeing with the direction the show was taking, she left the show after the second episode of season 3. Since then, she’s appeared in a series of independent TV movies as well as in shows like Desperate Housewives. During this time, Eleniak struggled with issues with her weight, and had to be hospitalized at one point. Though she hasn’t appeared in a movie since 2. Eleniak in 2. 01. Marilyn Monroe Back?, is currently in pre- production! In the movie, Eleniak portrays Monroe, who is potentially reincarnated into a popular Canadian singer who shares her distinctive characteristics. Billy Warlock. It’s not an accident Billy Warlock and Erika Eleniak are next to each other on this list: the pair’s on- screen romance transcended to real life, and they were even engaged for a short period of time. Warlock’s character Eddie Kramer joined the lifeguard crew as a teenager with a complicated past that leads to troublemaking and homelessness. However, he eventually forms a serious relationship with Shauni, and the two marry and move to Australia as both actors left the show at the same time. It seems like Warlock has a thing for actresses: before that, he was married to soap- opera actress Marcy Walker, and is currently married to Days of Our Lives and As the World Turns co- star Julie Pinson. After leaving Baywatch, Warlock mainly worked on soap operas in the early 2. One Life to Live in 2. Nicole Eggert. Eggert’s career started young: after winning the Miss Universe pageant in the petite division at the age of 5, Eggert was offered a role in a commercial. From there, Eggert had recurring roles in various television shows, most famously Charles in Charge, before landing the role as Summer Quinn on seasons 3 and 4 of Baywatch. Summer was the romantic interest of Hobie, and the youngest member of the lifeguard team. Since leaving the show in 1. Eggert appeared in various independent films, and most recently on numerous Hallmark Christmas television movies. In 2. 01. 3, she was added to the cast of ABC’s Splash, a celebrity diving competition, but was injured during the taping of an episode. Outside of acting, Eggert began a new career as an ice- cream truck driver and owner in 2. She enjoys running the business with her family, and changing up the stereotypical ice- cream man.
