Sweet revenge!

From the San Jose Mercury News:

David Hasselhoff to Appear in 'Chicago'

LONDON - David Hasselhoff, star of TV's "Baywatch," is to appear in the London stage production of hit musical "Chicago," promoters announced Monday.

The 51-year-old will play scheming lawyer Billy Flynn in the show, which has run in the West End for seven years. He will be at the Adelphi Theatre for 60 performances from July 16 for his British stage debut.

"This is not about making money - this is about following my heart, challenging myself and having fun," Hasselhoff said.

"Billy will be like every attorney I've ever known - charming until he delivers the bill."

God! Why did they pick that GEEZER? I'll bet he'll bring "KITT" on stage with him to help him with his walker...

"I'm six foot four, an all-American guy, and handsome and talented as well!"

"He has even less musical talent than John Tesh!"

The anti-Christ:

>>> Phil

He was decent in "Jekyll & Hyde". I could see him as Billy Flynn.

I really hope he brings " Knight Rider " to the big screen.

I loved the reference to his singing carrer in Eurotrip plus his role in Dodgeball cracks me up everytime! [Big Grin]

I think that his roll in Dodgeball (and Baywatch) is more than enough to show that his acting talent/potential is unchartably amazing.
He is quite possibly the greatest actor of our time. [Wink]
