16. Michael Newman
Michael Newman has the distinction of being the only real qualified lifeguard to appear on the show. He was a 20 year firefighter and Los Angeles County lifeguard who served as a technical consultant and essentially played himself on Baywatch. Some of his real life rescues were reenacted in episodes. He appeared during the show’s entire run, and got his own spot in the opening credits from 1996 onward. Newman became a fan favorite, popular around the world. Now 60 years old, in 2011 he announced he has battling Parkinson’s disease. We wish him well.
