David Hasselhoff, the iconic star of Knight Rider and later known for his bare chest on Baywatch, is set to return to television, via Germany. The fact that a German network is keen to use Hasselhoff is not surprising, the actor turned singer has always had a fierce and loyal following there, verging on cult status.
The Baywatch actor will appear in new television show, Ze Network, alongside German actor Henry Hubchen, who will also play a version of himself. The show is described by the network RTL as an "international conspiracy story".
Ze Network will see The Hoff land the lead role in a German stage show, only to be plunged into the centre of a conspiracy of former cold war assassins while the fabric of reality seems to break down around him.
Hasselhoff describes working with the same network that screened his name-making series, Knight Rider, in Germany, again as a "dream come true". Of the new show Hoff says: "The series is funny, deadly, creative and informative…..simply exciting. Fact or fiction, you decide."
