From the Malibu beaches (next season will be filmed in the Hawaii island) to the sunny sands of the Moroccan desert. The most famous lifeguard is in Ouarzazate (200 Km. from Casablanca) to play in "Shaka Zulu-The Citadel". He is acting in this mini-series with Omar Sharif, Karen Allen and Grace Jones.

The TV-movie revives a 1984 television production with Christopher Lee, Trevor Howard, and Henry Cele. It's about Shaka's story, a Zulu prince, who in last century united under his reign a land as wide as Europe.

This is a really strange setting for David, who plays the part of Mungo, a slave trader. "It's a story of love and hope", tells David during a break. "This is the first time I've been in Morocco and I found it a wonderful land. A really ideal place to shoot a movie, in fact, at the same time of us, there are other four productions".

As previously told, with David act also Omar Sharif, James Fox and Karen Allen. A love story develops between David's and Karen characters: "Karen is in Africa to search for her father, a missing liaison officer of the British Army. Mungo is a charming man, but he is also a slave merchant. When the woman learn this fact, she will try to convince him to release the slaves".

The mini-series is produced by the Global Production and directed by Joshua Sinclair, there are many mass scenes with hundred of knights and thousand of warlike Zulu drawn up in battle. "We have chosen Morocco because it offers many kinds of landscapes: from the sandy expanses to the top of the mountains covered with snow, that overlook the desert", told Sinclair.

"After so much work on the beaches with Baywatch, I had to take again familiarity with the horses", admitted Hasselhoff, "but above all I've enjoyed myself in riding the camels; you need a special ability".

An hard work, but this prevented him not from visiting also the wonderful landscapes, near the set of the movie, entering through the desert by dune-buggies, special vehicles, studied and built right for this kind of sandy grounds.

Regarding "Baywatch", being the main actor of one of the most watched TV-serie in the world (it's watched in 79 countries), makes David one of the most known actors in the world. Also in Morocco people stop him in the streets asking him an autograph and news about the TV-series. "After this experience I'll move to Hawaii to play in the 10th series of Baywatch", told the actor. "There are only 5 TV-series that in the TV-history reached the 10th season and mine is one of them. For me and people who work with me is a kind of challenge. We would like to set up a new record of length".

The series has moved the location from California to the dream beaches of Hawaii. At the beginning it was thought to shoot the series in Australia, but the interest of the state governor, Ben Cayetano, has convinced the producers to move to the Pacific ocean islands.

David's "tour the force" is not finished, the actor is going to play also in a miniseries from a Wilbur Smith' s story called "The Diamond Hunter". This last will be an English production, thanks which the interpreter of Mitch Buchannon will visit also Ireland and Namibia.

"Since I changed my agent, I'm living a frenetic period", tells Hasselhoff. "We are thinking to many other plans". For David, Baywatch in Hawaii will be quite an holiday.
