Michael Newman
Michael Newman (August 21, 1956 - October 20, 2024) was an American actor and firefighter, known as the beloved lifeguared Mike "Newmie" Newman on television series Baywatch, and was the only cast member with real-life lifeguarding experience. Over the course of the show’s 1989 -2001 run, he appeared in 150 episodes — second only to David Hasselhoff.
