He is of German (from his paternal grandfather), English, and Irish descent. The acting bug first hit when David was seven and so he took acting, singing and dancing lessons. He was very shy off stage in front of girls because he was tall and thin, but when he was on stage he was in his element. Due to his father's work, his family (he has four sisters) moved around frequently. He initially thought his career was going to go in the direction of musicals and Broadway.American audiences first came to know Hasselhoff when he portrayed the popular "Dr. Snapper Foster" for six seasons on CBS's soap opera, Les feux de l'amour (1973). Lured by NBC's Brandon Tartikoff to move from daytime to prime time, Hasselhoff went on to star as "Michael Knight" in NBC's hit series K 2000 (1982). The role garnered him a "People's Choice Award" for most popular actor and the show became a huge success overseas. The success of K 2000 (1982) resulted in Hasselhoff's first major international following. When the show ended, Hasselhoff launched a successful recording career in Europe.

He has continued to perform regularly in concert and has released nine albums to date.Hasselhoff returned to episodic television as Mitch Buchannon on Alerte à Malibu (1989) when the show debuted on NBC in 1989.

Undeterred, Hasselhoff and his partners acquired the rights to the show and, based on Hasselhoff's popularity overseas, they were able to secure financing and revive "Baywatch" in 1991. Now a piece of American pop culture and an international television phenomenon, Alerte à Malibu (1989) was at its peak seen in 140 countries by over one billion viewers each week.
