David Hasselhoff to play father of Ian Ziering's Fin character

Baywatch icon David Hasselhoff has been cast in the role of Gilbert Sheperd, the father of Ian Ziering's Fin, in Sharknado 3, Syfy and The Asylum announced Tuesday.
Hasselhoff joins returning stars Ziering, Tara Reid, who plays April, and Cassie Scerbo, who plays Nova, in the latest installment of the wildly popular TV movie franchise.
Bo Derek was previously announced as April's mother May, while Ryan Newman will play April and Fin's daughter Claudia and Jack Griffo will portray Claudia's friend Billy.
Additional cameo roles include Mark Cuban as the President of the United States; Ann Coulter as the Vice President; Jerry Springer as Mr. White, a manic tourist; *NSYNC singer Chris Kirkpatrick as a pool lifeguard; and Chris Jericho as Bruce, a roller-coaster ride operator.
Sharknado 3 is to premiere on Syfy in July. This time around, the shark-infested storms will cause mass destruction in Washington, D.C., before roaring down the Eastern Seaboard and into Florida.
Anthony C. Ferrante will once again direct, based on an original screenplay by Thunder Levin.
