When the newest attempt to revive Baywatch was announced, I assumed that the producers would try to lure former cast members in for cameos or more, but any attempts I made to predict future cast members seemed pointless. I definitely wouldn’t have guessed Stephen Amell to be the ab-sporting lead, nor that he’d share the screen with Yellowstone vet Hassie Harrison or social media star Noah Beck. But maybe I should have seen Brooks Nader’s casting coming.
Nader, who grew up a little over an hour away from yours truly in Baton Rouge, LA, was recently revealed as being the newest Hollywood starlet destined to sport the iconic red swimsuit for Fox’s Baywatch revival. (Here’s hoping there are more suits than the original series was afforded.) As it turns out, the model and Dancing with the Stars vet kinda-sorta manifested her own destiny with this role, having already donned the red swimsuit for a Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue years prior.
