Biggest surprise of the night - at least to me - was that David Hasselhoff will not be reprising his role as Mitch Buchannon in the new Baywatch movie. Editorial comment: a little disappointing, in my own opinion, as I loved Mitch and would've loved it if he reprised his role. We'll have to see how 'David Hasselhoff' fits into this movie. It might just be a cameo, who knows.
