Actor. Activist. Adventurer.
David Chokachi is an actor and activist with a deep love for the outdoors and a heart for making a difference. Best known for his role as Cody Madison on the iconic series Baywatch, David lives for the water—surfing, sailing, diving, and climbing every chance he gets. It’s a passion he now shares with his daughter, who’s just as adventurous and connected to nature as he is.
Off-screen, David is committed to the causes he believes in. He’s a longtime supporter of the Surfrider Foundation, advocating for clean oceans and coastlines, and works closely with Best Friends Animal Sanctuary to protect animals in need. His activism is rooted in a lifelong connection to the natural world—and a genuine drive to help protect it.
Storyteller. Host. Guest.
Alongside his acting career, David has found a home in hosting, public speaking, and sharing his story with others. He’s appeared in a wide range of film and TV projects—from Witchblade to Soul Surfer, and more recently Married Alive and the upcoming Black Panthers of WWII. But his work doesn’t stop when the cameras cut. David regularly speaks on panels, appears on podcasts, and lends his voice to meaningful conversations about creativity, wellness, and life in and out of the industry. Whether he’s sharing behind-the-scenes stories or opening up about personal experiences, his easygoing energy makes him a natural fit wherever there's an audience.
Mind. Body. Spirit.
David is passionate about wellness—both physical and mental—and shares the tools that help him stay grounded and strong. From fitness and nutrition to contrast therapy, breath work, and mindfulness, he’s all about creating space for balance. His approach to well-being is holistic, and deeply personal. By opening up about his own practices, David hopes to encourage others to care for themselves too—mentally, physically, and spiritually. It’s not about being perfect; it’s about staying present, showing up, and living fully.
