The World Of The Hoff

You did Red Alert 3 recently; you were in some of the scenes in that?

Yeah, I had a whole big expanded character – [but] it turns out the dates that I had to do this film I'd just completed called "The Dancing Ninja" - kind of a sequel to Beverly Hills Ninja – was shooting at the same time, and so I didn't get a chance to continue. Because I loved the character they created. Really interesting experience because suddenly you were not just doing the voiceover or playing a caricature of yourself – you're actually in the game. You're playing a caricature inside the game with major actors.

Yeah, like Jonathan Pryce, guys like that.

Yeah, how cool is that? And the script was great. And these guys kind of know that I live in the world of "The Hoff" and they know that I don't take myself seriously... Go to my website and you’ll see every illegal game in the world that was invented about me – Pac-Man with Pac-Hoff, Frog-Hoffer, Where's the Hoff, all these crazy games. But this game is like, you get next to anybody, and you can actually get physical with them and not touch them – it gets aggressive, you work up a good sweat.

Back in the '90s there was a claymation show on MTV called Celebrity Deathmatch.

I loved it. It was one of my favorites. And that's what I brought up to my representation – I said I was on that.

And this is the interactive version of the same thing.

Exactly. It's terrific. I've fought John Tesh. "And now the two most untalented men in America! John Tesh and David Hasselhoff!" They had Michael Knight, I was fighting him, and I called Kitt at the end, and he came and decapitated John Tesh. [Laughs] They're kinda going to do it anyway, so you either play along with it and have fun or... You start taking yourself too seriously in this business, then you're missing the whole point of life.

You might as well roll with it.

Yeah, roll with it and have a couple of good laughs. The good and the bad, take it, roll with it. It's good to be in the game.

You said you liked Guitar Hero, and obviously this game. Is there anything else you play on?

Looking forward to the new Guitar Hero. I just like games that are physical and interactive. I think this one's going to be just a huge success. I think this is a good way to solve world problems – create world peace – grab a Wii and have us against the terrorists in a boxing match.
