Actor David Chokachi is best known for his role as Cody
Madison in the worldwide television phenomenon, "Baywatch." David’s introduction
to the series in its sixth season earned him an enormous fan-base and the
distinction of being voted one of People Magazine’s "50 Most Beautiful
People." His successful foray into television paved the way for his
winning roles in TNT’s original hit series "Witchblade," The N’s "Beyond
the Break" and a variety of films including the Sundance hit "Psycho Beach
Party," independent sci-fi thriller "The Dreamless" and Sony’s action flick
"Bats 2" for the Sci-Fi Channel.
Audiences welcomed David’s return to TV in the starring
role as Justin Healy in “Beyond the Break,” an MTV Networks series.
An international hit, the role allowed David to enjoy two of his passions: surfing and
bringing awareness to important water-related issues on behalf of the
charities he supports. David was also recently featured as part of the cast of the VH-1 reality series,
"Confessions of a Teen Idol."
David was born and raised in Plymouth, Massachusetts. As a competitive
athlete, David played lacrosse and football at Tabor Academy in Marion,
Massachusetts and at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine. He holds a degree
in Political Science from Bates, which afforded him the opportunity to
serve as legislative aid to Congressman Gerry Studs in Washington DC before
moving to California to begin his acting career.
David is also a devout environmentalist and animal advocate.
He is on the board of the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, and is actively
involved with Waterkeeper Alliance, Surfrider Foundation and Vital Ground.
He lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Susan, and Cami, the dog they rescued.
