Standing at 5'11" with blue eyes and the very aura of someone who loves the beach, David Chokachi joined the cast of the internationally-syndicated hit series "Baywatch" at the start of the 1995 season as Cody Madison, an Olympic hopeful also working at a lifeguard. A political science major at Bates College, Chokachi worked as an aide to Massachusetts representative Gerry Studds for a year before moving back to Boston to take acting lessons and model. He then moved to Los Angeles, where he did numerous TV commercials before landing the role on "Baywatch". He also has appeared in bit roles in the feature films "Blown Away" and "With Honors" (both 1994).
