Jason Ioane – Jason Momoa – 20

Most people nowadays probably don’t realize that Jason Momoa started his career playing in Baywatch, especially given how much success he’s since found. Nevertheless, portraying Jason Ioane was one of the first characters he ever got to do for the camera. He started in the show’s tenth season and lasted until its last.

His character was fittingly supposed to be the best swimmer on the lifeguard team and probably the most hot-headed one. He was only 20 years old when he was cast to play and had only previously worked as a model. In fact, he even won the Hawaii Model of the Year award in 1999!
