The Bold and the Beautiful Star Jacob Young Interviews David Chokachi

Chokachi appeared as lifeguard Cody Madison on Seasons 6 through 9 of Baywatch. The character was known not only for his skills as a lifeguard but also for being generous, compassionate, and funny. Cody gave up his Olympic dreams in order to complete a rescue, saving someone’s life in the process.

“This is what Real Conversations is all about,” Young posted on Instagram, “@therealdavidchokachi is an inspiration to me, his fans, and everyone who knows him. David, thank you for being so open on the subject of mental health. One interview at a time we will continue to lift the [veil] of shame that society has put upon anyone struggling.
