Despite the string of storms that have hit the Los Angeles region in recent days,<\/u> the skies cleared up long enough on Wednesday for thousands of aspiring actors to swarm a beachfront in Marina del Rey and take their shot at landing a role in the upcoming \u201cBaywatch\u201d reboot.<\/p>\n

The open casting call brought old Hollywood magic to Los Angeles, as the show intensified its search for raw and local talent, reminiscent of how original \u201cBaywatch\u201d<\/a> stars were discovered, said Brittainy Roberts, the vice president of casting at Fox. <\/p>\n

The soapy drama series, which premiered in 1989 and ran for 11 seasons, followed the lives and relationships of lifeguards who patrolled L.A. County beaches (and later Hawaii). It was not only a hit stateside \u2014 internationally it was a success,<\/a> becoming the most-watched show in the world at the time. A film adaptation starring Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron was released in 2017, and despite negative reviews, it was considered a commercial success, signaling an appetite for more.<\/p>\n
