His latest single, "Jump in My Car," which he performed on "America's Got Talent" hit the top of the U.K. charts. The video has been downloaded over six million times and he was recently named one of the most downloaded artists of the year. His concerts have played to standing room-only audiences worldwide.
In 2000, Hasselhoff made his long-awaited theatrical debut in the Broadway musical "Jekyll & Hyde," which was also filmed by Broadway Television Network and aired on HBO, and is available on DVD from Image Entertainment.
He went on to make his West End debut in London as Billy Flynn in the long-running musical "Chicago," as well as recently appearing in the Las Vegas production of Mel Brooks' hit musical, "The Producers." His comic turn as the flamboyant Roger DeBris proved to be an audience favorite.
Hasselhoff's autobiography, "Making Waves," was published by Hodder & Stoughton in the U.K. and was on the bestseller list. A U.S. release titled "Don't Hassel the Hoff" was recently released by Thomas Dunne books, a division of St. Martin's Press. Hasselhoff co-founded the charity Race For Life, and is a frequent visitor to children's hospitals during his travels around the world. He was a key participant in "Camp Baywatch," dedicated to disadvantaged youth in Los Angeles and is also active with the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Hasselhoff was honored recently with the International Star of the Year Award for Outstanding Contribution to Global Entertainment by the Bollywood Awards. In addition, he was awarded the Comeback Star of the Year on the VH1 Big in '06 Awards.
He resides in Southern California with his two daughters, Taylor-Ann and Hayley.
