Bill Hader cast as David Hasselhoff in Baywatch movie that will also have David Hasselhoff
No longer standing in the darkness, afraid to step into the light that would reveal it as short on genuine inspiration beyond nostalgic kitsch, the long-gestating Baywatch movie has moved away from the edge of surrender by casting its lead. According to The Wrap, Saturday Night Live star-who-deserves-better Bill Hader has signed on to play “the Hasselhoff character”—a designation that unintentionally speaks to the crux of the Baywatch movie parody idea, which is the belief that “David Hasselhoff” is a comic character worth recreating, and then girls in bikinis can run in exaggerated slow motion for 35 cumulative minutes.
