America's Got Talent
David Hasselhoff returns as a judge on "America's Got Talent," NBC's summer reality competition series, which brings the variety format back to the forefront of American culture.
David Hasselhoff is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as "The Most Watched TV Star in the World" thanks to starring roles in both "Knight Rider" and "Baywatch." Born in Baltimore, MD, he dreamed as a child of having a career on Broadway, but his first professional job came on the CBS soap opera "The Young and the Restless," playing Dr. Snapper Foster.
Six years later he was lured by NBC President Brandon Tartikoff into starring in "Knight Rider" as Michael Knight, leading him to a People's Choice Award for Most Popular Actor. The show is still playing throughout the world. In 1989, he headed the cast of "Baywatch." After being cancelled by NBC, "Baywatch" was acquired by Hasselhoff and the producing partners for syndication, and he became one of the executive producers and TV history was made. "Baywatch" ran for 11 years and is still viewed in 140 countries by over one billion viewers every week.
Along the way, Hasselhoff appeared in several feature films, including "Layover," "Legacy," "Final Alliance," "Fugitive Run," "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story," "The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie" and Adam Sandler's "Click," and his upcoming feature, "Bedtime Stories." TV movies include "Cartier Affair," "Lady by the Lake," "One True Love," "Shaka Zulu," "Nick Fury," "Gridlock," "Avalanche," "Baywatch Hawaiian Wedding," and soon to be seen on the SciFi channel, "Anaconda II."
Guest appearances on TV series include "Just Shoot Me," "Yes, Dear," "3rd Rock From the Sun," "Still Standing" and "West Wing" among others. His remarkable musical career took off in the late 1980s when he recorded the album "Looking For Freedom" at the end of the Cold War. The song became an anthem for the German people and remained at the top of their charts for eight weeks. The album went triple platinum in Europe and Hasselhoff was named "Most Popular and Best-Selling Artist of the Year."
He has since garnered over 40 gold and platinum records worldwide. In 1989, he sang "Looking For Freedom" from atop the Berlin Wall to over one million people during the German reunification celebration. He is currently recording an album with award-winning Broadway composer Frank Wildhorn.
