David Hasselhoff is remembering his late Baywatch costar, Michael Newman. “Newman was a warrior ... he literally saved my life at least 4 times,” the Mitch Buchanan actor wrote alongside a photo of him and Newman on the Baywatch set via Instagram late Tuesday2.

He started out on the David Hasselhoff series as a stuntman and technical adviser and stuck around for 10 seasons.

Baywatch welcomed a number of actors throughout its eleven-season run, one of which was Michael Newman. The franchise alum played a version of himself on the show and ultimately became one of the stalwart members of the cast.
