Michael Bergin

Dark-haired, athletic, remarkably appealing former model Michael Bergin was something of an icon of male beauty in the 1990s, landing the plum Calvin Klein underwear campaign following Mark Wahlberg's dismissal and making the most of his resulting fame by embarking on an acting career that included a 1997-99 regular role on the popular syndicated lifeguard series "Baywatch" and its follow-up "Baywatch Hawaii" (1999-2001). While working his way through school while studying marketing at UConn, Connecticut native Bergin was alerted to a modeling opportunity and headed to New York City, subsequently landing a contract with the famed Click agency, and landing assignments for style makers Valentino, Hugo Boss and Donna Karan.
