What Ever Happened to the Cast of Baywatch?

David Chokachi joined Baywatch in 1995 as Cody Madison, a fearless lifeguard with a surfer’s soul and a competitive streak. Athletic, charming, and quietly intense, Cody quickly became one of the show’s central figures — the kind of character who could handle both dangerous rescues and emotional storylines with ease.

Before Baywatch, David was relatively unknown, but the series made him a breakout star. His all-American looks and easy charisma earned him a loyal fan following. Whether sprinting across the sand or navigating on-screen romance, he embodied the adventurous, romantic heart of Baywatch’s mid-’90s era.
