Articulate, polite and gorgeous, male model Michael Bergin has made quite a splash on the set of Baywatch. Michael plays "J.D.", one of the hunky lifeguards on the show. Not a far stretch for Michael who spent three years as the Calvin Klein underwear model as well as a very much in demand model worldwide.

Raised in Connecticut, Michael took his chiseled good looks to New York to model years back and landed big on the runways. His career really started happening when he landed the Calvin Klein underwear campaign and consequently a huge Calvin Klein billboard in Times Square. He added VH1 television host and the Liz Claiborne Men's spokesperson to his list of credentials along the way. With out of this world looks, Michael is still down to earth.

Michael chuckles when he recounts sweating through three different interviews to get on board Baywatch. According to Michael, interview number three was quite tough in front of the show's producers. Two hours of swimming drills and script readings!

After checking his messages hours later, Michael discovered he had the Baywatch job. The first person he rang was his sister Tina who was incredulous about her brother's new job.

About Michael and his private life, well he's very private yet polite. Michael did date Carolyn Bessette before she married J.F.K. Jr. However Michael is mum on the past relationship except to say that Carolyn was a very nice person.

Michael is keeping his fine form and attitude in line with living and filming in Hawaii for Baywatch Hawaii. His private life he keeps wisely to himself.
