David Hasselhoff, also nicknamed The Hoff, caught the acting bug at the age of 7 after playing the role of Peter Pan in a stage production while in school.

A year later he got a chance to feature in his first feature-length movie as he was cast to play the role of “Boner” in the movie titled Revenge of the Cheerleaders.

A highlight that his fans and other viewers deeply appreciated.
