Pamela Anderson
Pamela Anderson, before she was known for that infamous sex tape with ex Tommy Lee, was best known as C.J. Parker, one of the longest-running characters on Baywatch, no pun intended, though she did get in some pretty solid beach jogs during her five seasons on the show.

David Hasselhoff
David Hasselhoff clocked in a total of 220 episodes of Baywatch as Mitch Buchannon, stud of the beach. In fact, it's because of him that the drama series was eventually watched by nearly a billion viewers in 140 countries. When the series was canceled after its first season, Hasselhoff signed on as an executive producer and put up his own money to get the show into syndication, which is what led to it getting picked up again and becoming one of the most beloved series of our time.
