“The Hoff,” one of the most famous people to have been on the show, became one of the most recognized people in the world. Given that the show was broadcast in 140 countries to a total of billion viewers, David Hasselhoff actually held the Guinness World Record for the most-watched man on television!
![David Hasselhoff Then David Hasselhoff Then | Alamy Stock Photo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/158573/rid_ed8597dda527f3d2ba52f201db25f7b8/E9C9C6-Watch-Out-for-This-What-Are-the-Baywatch-Stars-Doing-Today-David-Hasselhoff-Then-1.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
He started his acting career playing Dr. “Snapper” Foster on “The Young and the Restless” for a total of seven years. He was also able to show off his vocal cords in the space opera Starcrash (1978). His first claim to fame, however, was when he played Michael Knight in NBC’s hit series “Knight Rider”.
Nicole Eggert Then
Nicole Eggert started acting at the tender age of eight. Her first roles were in the film "Rich and Famous" and a voice-acting role as Margaret in "Dennis the Menace in Mayday for Mother". Later, from 1985 to 1986, Eggert played the role of Marci Ferguson, Samantha's friend on "Who’s the Boss?".

This role was followed by a starring role in the series "Charles in Charge", an appearance on "The Super Mario Bros. Super Show", and a few other projects before landing her "Baywatch" role of Summer Quinn in 1992.
Nicole Eggert Today
Eggert's stint on "Baywatch" spanned two seasons which were aired from 1992 to 1994, but she returned for "Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding" the show's 2003 spin-off. After spending a long time as Summer Quinn (a name almost too obvious for a lifeguard if you ask us), she guest-starred on "Scott Baio Is 45…and Single" and "Married… With Children".
![Nicole Eggert Today Nicole Eggert Today | Getty Images Photo by Frederick M. Brown](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/158573/rid_0fabd0c53214a8900a580b0f056408cf/GettyImages-918250242-Watch-Out-for-This-What-Are-the-Baywatch-Stars-Doing-Today-Nicole-Eggert-Today-1.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Eggert has tried her luck in reality TV too. In 2010, she participated in "Celebrity Fit Club", and the "Comedy Central Roast of David Hasselhoff". Her latest endeavor, however, didn't involve screens or cameras. Eggert started an ice cream truck business. The ultimate summer treat! Coincidence? You decide.
Traci Bingham Then
You might know Traci Bingham as Jordan Tate, but her acting career started a few years prior with a few smaller roles. She appeared in several hit shows like "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air", "Beverly Hills, 90210", and "Married…with Children".
![Traci Bingham Then Traci Bingham Then | Alamy Stock Photo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/158573/rid_36aebb6b353fc402f0cb0e0c3b6bf4f8/HD6P2T-Watch-Out-for-This-What-Are-the-Baywatch-Stars-Doing-Today-Traci-Bingham-Then-1.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
She was also seen in the music video for “Good Vibrations” by Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch in 1991. Bingham was cast into seasons seven and eight of "Baywatch" in 1996 and finally became the star she knew she was going to be.
Traci Bingham Today
In the early 2000s, Bingham went from a "Baywatch" star to a reality star. She participated in shows like "The Surreal Life" and "Celebrity Big Brother", where she shared the spotlight with other celebrities who lost some of their Hollywood glow.
![Traci Bingham Today Traci Bingham Today | Getty Images Photo by Jeff Kravitz](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/158573/rid_2fcf34bdee4bf204692b8b7c1c9a6762/GettyImages-109934366-Watch-Out-for-This-What-Are-the-Baywatch-Stars-Doing-Today-Traci-Bingham-Today-1.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Like Nicole Eggert, Bingham appeared David Hasslehoff's Comedy Central Roast . In 2005, she served as an Empire Poker spokesmodel, which is not surprising, considering the impressive physique she displayed in her memorable red swimsuit. Bingham's latest TV appearances were also on reality shows — "Hell’s Kitchen" and "Battle of the Network Stars" .
David Chokachi Then
Before he came on "Baywatch", no one knew who David Chokachi was. He started pursuing acting as a career only in the mid-90s. Prior to that, he was just a college graduate with a political science degree, and everyone knows that this is not how you make money.
![David Chokachi Then David Chokachi Then | Getty Images Photo by Maureen Donaldson](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/158573/rid_bf0ac7467cb935fb4d2a58f97c19e655/GettyImages-88967069-American-television-actor-David-Chokach-Watch-Out-for-This-What-Are-the-Baywatc.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
He played the role of Cody Madison — a competitive swimmer who had to reconsider his passion for water due to an irregular heartbeat. Most women who watched him probably felt some irregularities in their own heartbeats, which is why he stayed on the show for three seasons (6-9).
David Chokachi Today
Obviously eye-catching, Chokachi was given a spot in the 1997 list of “50 Most Beautiful People in the World” by People magazine. Chokachi left the show in 1999 and was promptly cast in the TV show "Witchblade" as heartthrob Jake McCarthy until 2002 when the show went off the air.
![David Chokachi Today David Chokachi Today | Shutterstock](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/158573/rid_8038cb0e08cc247f5c5d01b6c76de674/shutterstock_118444102-Watch-Out-for-This-What-Are-the-Baywatch-Stars-Doing-Today-David-Chokachi-Tod.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Chokachi went on to play in various TV movies. Some of them include "Cyber Chase", "Rage of the Yeti", and "Patient Killer". Much like other stars on this list, Chokakachi has also dipped his toes in the pool of reality TV. He took part in "Confessions of a Teen Idol" with his former "Baywatch" castmate, Jeremy Jackson.
Parker Stevenson Then
Parker Stevenson's first acting credit goes to his portrayal of Gene in the film "A Separate Peace" (1972). Not long after that, Stevenson played with Sam Elliot in the film "Lifeguard", which first showed the world the man's beach potential.
![Parker Stevenson Then Parker Stevenson Then | Alamy Stock Photo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/158573/rid_b349a2dcbdd2fcb5355824fe84ece629/H8BBA7-Baywatch-ERIKA-ELENIAK-PARKER-STEVENSON-DAVID-HASSELHOFF-1.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
In the late 1970s, Stevenson also appeared in the show"The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries" on ABC. Other memorable roles he's had in his pre "Baywatch" era were in "North and South: Book II" and "Probe". In 1989, he became one of the first original cast members of "Baywatch".
Parker Stevenson Today
After "Baywatch", Parker went on to star in "Melrose Place" and the TV movie "Legion" (1998). His acting career kept growing with him getting roles in both film and TV. Some of his latest film credits include "Perfect Disguise", "Not of This Earth", "Hidden Truth", and "The War Riders".
![Parker Stevenson Today Parker Stevenson Today | Shutterstock](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/158573/rid_131ad7614509aa0a0773d781860b0073/shutterstock_100539814-Watch-Out-for-This-What-Are-the-Baywatch-Stars-Doing-Today-Parker-Stevenson-1.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
In TV, you may have seen recently seen him in shows such as "Judging Amy", "Trapped", "Burke’s Law", and "Bull". Stevenson has also been passionate about photography from a very young age and you can see his work in the field on his website, parkerstevensonshadowworks.com.
Nancy Valen Then
Nancy Valen's acting career could have gone in a whole different direction. Before moving to LA, Valen was living in New York and dreaming about acting on the theater stage, rather than in front of a camera. At some point, Valen was casted into "Ryan's Hope", a soap opera which was filmed in the city. After two years on the show, she moved to LA.
![Nancy Valen Then Nancy Valen Then | Getty Images Photo by SGranitz/WireImage](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/158573/rid_38051016e5de61830c46c8078741e1bb/GettyImages-104900741-Watch-Out-for-This-What-Are-the-Baywatch-Stars-Doing-Today-Nancy-Valen-during-On-The-Set-Of-Baywatch-1024x1110.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
The first big film she was in was "Porky’s Revenge" (1985). Other memorable credits of hers are "The Heavenly Kid", "Listen to Me", and "Loverboy". She was cast as Samantha Thomas on "Baywatch" in 1996 for seasons six and seven.
Nancy Valen Today
Before walking a mile in Samantha's swimsuit, Nancy Valen was actually featured as a guest in one episode from 1989. Valen has many credits to her name, some of which in hit shows the likes of "Friends", "Boy Meets World", "Saved by the Bell", and "Full House".
![Nancy Valen Today Nancy Valen Today | Getty Images Photo by Jason LaVeris](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/158573/rid_3d9cfa2a1370992d775241eadafa39e7/GettyImages-671740044-Watch-Out-for-This-What-Are-the-Baywatch-Stars-Doing-Today-baywatch-Actress-Na.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Still, her 22-episode-long stint on "Baywatch" is definitely the highlight of her career. Her main focus these days is more behind the scenes as a producer.
David Charvet Then
David Charvet's face would be familiar to you even if you haven't watched a single episode of "Baywatch" in your life (in which case, what are you doing here?). Born in France, Charvets's many talents include not only acting but also singing and modeling.
![David Charvet Then David Charvet Then | Getty Images Photo by Ron Galella/Ron Galella Collection](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/158573/rid_12fe2163518dbd85cbbd7bd970825107/GettyImages-140312960-Watch-Out-for-This-What-Are-the-Baywatch-Stars-Doing-Today-David-Charvet-1.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Before playing the role of Matt Brody in 1992, Charvet was nurturing his successful singing career in France. He branched out internationally in the early 90s when he won a green card lottery. Thanks to that green card, he became famous worldwide.
David Charvet Today
In 1995, after three seasons on "Baywatch", Charvet left the show and started acting in other projects. He spent the rest of the 90s acting in "Melrose Place", "Derby", "Seduced and Betrayed", "Angel Flight Down", and more, and then decided he wanted to go back to his musical roots.
![David Charvet Today David Charvet Today | Shutterstock](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/158573/rid_420fa50aa2bb898e85122e3a362d7fcb/shutterstock_470057897-Watch-Out-for-This-What-Are-the-Baywatch-Stars-Doing-Today-David-Charvet-Toda.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Charvet went back to France, signed a contract with Universal Music Group France for five albums, and this time, his music went global.
Brooke Burns Then
When Brooke Burns started acting it was on "Out of the Blue", a teen sitcom from 1995. She was a series regular, playing the role of Peg, but it didn't really make her a star. What did make her a star eventually was her performance on "Baywatch". She was cast on the show in 1998.
![Brooke Burns Then Brooke Burns Then | Getty Images Photo by Hulton Archive](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/158573/rid_8dc7189a4353eac3e15bc0bbc2263492/GettyImages-51096368-Watch-Out-for-This-What-Are-the-Baywatch-Stars-Doing-Today-Brooke-Burns-1.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Her "Baywatch" role was that of Jesse Owens, who started out as a cleaner and officially turned into a lifeguard in the ninth season.
Brooke Burns Today
Burns didn't stay away for too long and came back to do 46 episodes of the spinoff show "Baywatch: Hawaii". Her next gig was hosting the game show "Dog Eat Dog" on NBC. Burns hosted the show from 2002 until 2003 and was highly praised for her hosting skills.
![Brooke Burns Today Brooke Burns Today | Shutterstock](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/158573/rid_cb1a0d27b54cfcf18fd76a4088c2e132/shutterstock_793886770-Watch-Out-for-This-What-Are-the-Baywatch-Stars-Doing-Today-Brooke-Burns-Today-1.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
After having her fill as a host, Burns went back to acting. She starred in "North Shore", a prime-time soap opera, and appeared on "Melrose Place", "Community", and "CSI: Miami".
Pamela Anderson Then
Pamela Anderson's first steps in the spotlight were done as a spokesmodel for Labatt’s Beer. She was spotted wearing the brand's T-shirt and promptly recruited by the brewing company. Anderson's modeling career really took off after her appearance on the cover of Playboy in 1989.
![Pamela Anderson Then Pamela Anderson Then | Alamy Stock Photo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/158573/rid_89b5c575d63efa3344cbc52ada7a8840/HD9TK4-Watch-Out-for-This-What-Are-the-Baywatch-Stars-Doing-Today-Pamela-Anderson-Then-1.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Anderson then moved to LA and found herself on television. First, on "Home Improvement" as Lisa, and after two seasons, she left the show and got cast to play C.J. Parker on "Baywatch".
Pamela Anderson Today
Anderson's "Baywatch" stint spanned five seasons, making C.J. Parker one of the most famous characters on the show. She even reprised her role in "Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding" in 2003 and in a commercial campaign in 2007.
![Pamela Anderson Today Pamela Anderson Today | Getty Images Photo by Michael Bezjian](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/158573/rid_a15405a007cb8ac48cceb04f3b848a85/GettyImages-1154528981-Watch-Out-for-This-What-Are-the-Baywatch-Stars-Doing-Today-Pamela-Anderson-1.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Anderson has also appeared in many films after her "Baywatch" days. She was also cast in reality shows such as "Dancing with the Stars", "Dancing on Ice", and "Big Brother". She has also put her fame into good use as a human and animal rights activist.
Erika Eleniak Then
When Erika Eleniak was 19, she appeared in a Playboy magazine, but she didn't delay on modeling and used that recognition to transition into television. She played Stephanie Curtis, Charles's girlfriend in "Charles in Charge" before coming on "Baywatch" later that year.
![Erika Eleniak Then Erika Eleniak Then | Alamy Stock Photo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/158573/rid_61efb3b2bb4c7e3138386b2070947cbc/HPD07B-Erika-Eleniak-and-Billy-Warlock-Bay-watch-1.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Eleniak was cast as Shauni McClain, a "Baywatch" female lead. She played the role for the first two seasons of the show and left at the beginning of season three.
Erika Eleniak Today
"Baywatch" was a great springboard for Eleniak's acting career. She went on to participate in dozens of other acting projects. You may remember seeing her in "Dracula 3000", "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial", "Absolute Zero", or "Desperate Housewives".
![Erika Eleniak Today Erika Eleniak Today | Getty Images Photo by Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/158573/rid_8ca999ddf26d87015324238cbe5fde7b/GettyImages-671603208-Watch-Out-for-This-What-Are-the-Baywatch-Stars-Doing-Today-Actress-Erika-Eleniak-scaled.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Today, Eleniak still acts wherever she can in television and movies. She will also play the role of Marylin Monroe in the upcoming feature "Marilyn Monroe Back?". She currently lives in Calgary with Roch Daigle, her partner and the father of her daughter Indyanna.
David Hasselhoff Then
“The Hoff,” one of the most famous people to have been on the show, became one of the most recognized people in the world. Given that the show was broadcast in 140 countries to a total of billion viewers, David Hasselhoff actually held the Guinness World Record for the most-watched man on television!
![David Hasselhoff Then David Hasselhoff Then | Alamy Stock Photo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/158573/rid_ed8597dda527f3d2ba52f201db25f7b8/E9C9C6-Watch-Out-for-This-What-Are-the-Baywatch-Stars-Doing-Today-David-Hasselhoff-Then-1.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
He started his acting career playing Dr. “Snapper” Foster on "The Young and the Restless" for a total of seven years. He was also able to show off his vocal cords in the space opera Starcrash (1978). His first claim to fame, however, was when he played Michael Knight in NBC's hit series "Knight Rider".
David Hasselhoff Today
While the Hoff has had many iconic roles over the years of his career, Mitch Buchannon on "Baywatch" is definitely the most famous one. IT probably has something to do with the fact that he played it throughout the duration of the entire show. That is 11 years and 219 episodes (not including the first season of "Baywatch: Hawaii").
![David Hasselhoff Today David Hasselhoff Today | Getty Images Photo by Jens Kalaene](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/158573/rid_f5d6809a907b79d04e4583d312c3498d/GettyImages-1168898308-Watch-Out-for-This-What-Are-the-Baywatch-Stars-Doing-Today-David-Hasselhoff.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Hasselhoff's great ability to laugh at himself has brought on a number of on-screen appearances that involved him parodying himself. Two of the most memorable ones are on "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story", and "SpongeBob SquarePants Movie". He even went to greater lengths with hosting the 2010 "Comedy Central Roast of David Hasselhoff" — a show that involved his friends and castmates gathering to tell jokes about him. What a trooper!
Brande Roderick Then
Before coming on "Baywatch", Roderick modeled a little and her acting credits included small roles that may have paid a bill or two but didn't make her famous. 2000 was a big year for Roderick. That was the year she joined "Baywatch" as Leigh Dryer and appeared in Playboy Magazine for the first time.
![Brande Roderick Then Brande Roderick Then | Getty Images Photos by 2000 Pearson Television/Newsmakers](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/158573/rid_66dcea3f4ef1672ecfc19147696e363c/GettyImages-1307932-Watch-Out-for-This-What-Are-the-Baywatch-Stars-Doing-Today-Actress-Brande-Roderi.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Her "Baywatch" stint was only for the final season, but fans liked her a lot, and so she came back for "Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding", the spinoff movie.
Brande Roderick Today
As it turns out, Roderick has a competitive side that didn't come out during her time on "Baywatch". After the show, she joined the USA Rock Paper Scissors League as an RPS Girl (it's a real thing. Trust us.)
![Brande Roderick Today Brande Roderick Today | Getty Images Photo by Presley Ann](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/158573/rid_318519197507bd11e4369198604b40f1/GettyImages-1176937382-Watch-Out-for-This-What-Are-the-Baywatch-Stars-Doing-Today-Brande-Roderick-1.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
But that doesn't conclude the competitions she's been on. There is also the CBS 2006 "Gameshow Marathon", two seasons of "Celebrity Apprentice", and the hosting of the Aces & Angels Super Bowl XLVI Party. Roderick divorced former NFL linebacker Glenn Cadrez in 2017. The two have a child together.
Billy Warlock Then
With a stuntman for a father, you can say that Billy Warlock grew up on film sets. He was interested in acting from a young age and managed to score some Hollywood gigs fresh out of high school. Thanks to his dad, Warlock got a job as a stuntman on one episode of "Mork & Mindy".
![Billy Warlock Then Billy Warlock Then | Alamy Stock Photo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/158573/rid_25490a908003723b0be3b9a820e6110e/HPD07F-Watch-Out-for-This-What-Are-the-Baywatch-Stars-Doing-Today-billy-warlock-Baywatch-1.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
This job is what made producer Garry Marshall notice him and cast him into "Happy Days". Other acting roles soon followed, and Warlock was seen on TV shows such as "21 Jump Street", "ABC Afterschool Special", and "Days of Our Lives". Before joining "Baywatch" as Eddie Kramer
Billy Warlock Today
Billy Warlock was cast as Eddie Kramer on "Baywatch" in 1989 and stayed on the show for three seasons (not including the film "Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding" from 2003). Warlock was briefly engaged to his "Baywatch" castmate Erika Eleniak, but the two broke up shortly after.
![Billy Warlock Today Billy Warlock Today | Shutterstock](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/158573/rid_96e4e631bd5005d2b7d571245fc1c4dd/shutterstock_120478594-Watch-Out-for-This-What-Are-the-Baywatch-Stars-Doing-Today-Billy-Warlock-1.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
After "Baywatch", Warlock went on to have a prolific career as a soap opera actor, with roles in "General Hospital", "Days of Our Lives", "The Young and the Restless", "One Life to Live", and "As the World Turns". So basically, any soap known to man from the past two decades.
Jaason Simmons Then
With the look of a classic Australian surfer dude, it would be hard to imagine Jaason Simmons doing anything that's not beach-related, which is how the first years of his career really looked. When he was 23, Simmons started acting on the Australian show "Paradise Beach". He was cast as Logan Fowler on "Baywatch" the following year.
![Jaason Simmons Then Jaason Simmons Then | Getty Images Photo by Ron Galella/Ron Galella Collection](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/158573/rid_b5d97959f3b05001706ec1b07c48f866/GettyImages-140639518-Watch-Out-for-This-What-Are-the-Baywatch-Stars-Doing-Today-Jaason-Simmons-1.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Much like Tasmania-Born Simmons, his character was also from Tasmania. Fowler’s character was known to have a big ego, which often resulted in him arguing with his fellow-lifeguards and managers.
Jaason Simmons Today
After leaving "Baywatch" in 1997, Simmons moved London and went on to appear in theater and in independent films. He was seen acting in movies like "The Devil’s Tattoo", "Bloody Mary", "Frankenstein & the Werewolf Reborn!", "Mad Cowgirl", and more.
![Jaason Simmons Today Jaason Simmons Today | Getty Images Photo by Jason LaVeris](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/158573/rid_1c1822daaac9716266cbb707311e1e09/GettyImages-671603248-Watch-Out-for-This-What-Are-the-Baywatch-Stars-Doing-Today-Jaason-Simmons-Today.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Simmons came out of the closet in 2008. He is in a relationship with Irish actor John O'Callaghan, and the two were featured in New Idea Magazine's March issue of the same year.
José Solano Then
Unlike many actors, Jose Solano wasn't intent on becoming an actor as a kid. He joined the Navy after graduating high school and landed on "Baywatch" only a few years later at the age of 25. He played the role of Manny Gutierrez and made history as the first Hispanic regular on the show.
![José Solano Then José Solano Then | Getty Images Photo by SGranitz](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/158573/rid_da2544cf28bb7505fd0d69a02c941cc2/GettyImages-104906391-Watch-Out-for-This-What-Are-the-Baywatch-Stars-Doing-Today-Jos-Solano-Then.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Gutierrez was one of the youngest characters on the lifeguard team, but by no means less professional. Mitch Buchannon saw the strength and potential in him, and Gutierrez did not let him down.
José Solano Today
Gutierrez suffered a life-threatening injury, which left him wheelchair-bound throughout a substantial part of his screen time. Solano left the show in 1999 and started splitting his time between acting and production managing.
![José Solano Today José Solano Today | Shutterstock](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/158573/rid_c470981f6dc01dfd126c0c427d5fa3fa/shutterstock_101622964-Watch-Out-for-This-What-Are-the-Baywatch-Stars-Doing-Today-Jose-Solano-1-1.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Since leaving "Baywatch", Solano has been more involved in Spanish-speaking productions, mainly telenovelas, such as "Amor en custodia" and "Miranda de mujer: en regreso".
Marliece Andrada Then
Marliece Andrada moved to LA after graduating from college to pursue an acting career. But acting didn't come right away. She started out as a "Raiderette" — a cheerleader for the Oakland Raiders — in 1995. After doing that for one season, Andrada got her first acting job on the HBO show "Arli$$".
![Marliece Andrada Then Marliece Andrada Then | Alamy Stock Photo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/158573/rid_096137a8cc56c0e76110009a7fcb175d/DNXPJ9-Watch-Out-for-This-What-Are-the-Baywatch-Stars-Doing-Today-Baywatch-Babe-MARLIECE-ANDRADA-2-scaled.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
She initially cast as an extra on the show, but quickly leveled up to a speaking part. She got her big break when she joined season 8 of "Baywatch".
Marliece Andrada Today
Andrada's character, Skylar Bergman, appeared on season 8 for a few episodes but that was all she needed to become recognized. In 1998, Andrada appeared on Playboy Magazine as Playmate of the Month in the March issue.
![Marliece Andrada Today Marliece Andrada Today | Getty Images Photo by Brad Elterman](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/158573/rid_509862d1497dc88ba98f3e9977c8d440/GettyImages-856852-Watch-Out-for-This-What-Are-the-Baywatch-Stars-Doing-Today-Marliece-Andrada-1.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Andrada didn't keep pursuing acting after "Baywatch". In fact, her only acting gigs after the show are a voice-over part in a video game titled "Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko", and an uncredited role in the film "Love Stinks".
Shawn Weatherly Then
Prior to getting cast as Jill Riley on "Baywatch", Shawn Weatherly was a successful pageant girl. She took home the crown and sash as Miss USA and Miss Universe in 1980.
![Shawn Weatherly Then Shawn Weatherly Then | Alamy Stock Photo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/158573/rid_7ec00dcef1db6a2c74d108bbcf4d8cfe/2BWG7EW-Watch-Out-for-This-What-Are-the-Baywatch-Stars-Doing-Today-Shawn-Weatherly-Then-scaled.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
When Weatherly started acting, it was in 1983, when she came on "The Dukes of Hazzard" as Billie Ann Baxley. 1983 was a big year for Weatherly — that was also when she got roles on the shows "Happy Days" and "The A-Team". Shawn Weatherly is also famous thanks to her role as Karen Adams, the cadet in the comedy "Police Academy 3: Back in Training" (1986).

Paul appeared for a brief stint as Terry O'Brien in a few episodes of "Melrose Place", and made a guest appearance in "Mad Men". With a great sense of humor, Paul also parodied her "Baywatch" role in a cameo she had in one of the deleted scenes in the movie "Borat". If only that scene would have made it to the final cut!
Many More Cameos
Baywatch spent its nine seasons launching the careers of a bunch of many other swimsuit-clad babes, from Sofia Vergara to David Spade. However, we may not remember them as they only featured in one or two episodes.

Carrie Anne Moss Then
Carrie Anne Moss appeared in an episode entitled 'Mirror, Mirror' in season four as crafty twins Gwen and Mattie Brown. The surprising twist was that one of the twins was bad, and the other twin was good.
