You might remember David Chokachi from the global phenomenon Baywatch, the show that turned him into a household name and landed him on People magazine’s coveted list of the “50 Most Beautiful People in the World.”

But David’s career is far more than a single breakout role. He’s built an impressive legacy across film and television, starring in thrillers, dramas, and surf-inspired series, with recent appearances in Shark Warning, Vanished, and the upcoming Married Alive. Beyond acting, he’s expanded his influence as a producer, bringing stories to life from both sides of the camera.

Off-screen, David’s impact only deepens. A passionate environmentalist and animal advocate, he has been honoured as Environmental Leader of the Year by the Surfrider Foundation and is one of the very few to receive their prestigious “Keeper of the Coast” Award. His dedication isn’t symbolic, it’s hands-on. Whether organising beach cleanups with his daughter, flying shelter animals to safety with Wings of Rescue, or stepping into disaster zones to help families evacuate and rebuild after wildfires, David shows up where it matters most.

On screen or in service, David’s mission is unmistakable: to create impact, lead with heart, and use his platform for something bigger than himself.
