I don't think he would have ever been destined to be a serious actor and admired by his contemporaries for his dramatic skill, so he did the very best with what he had. It was like a live action cartoon, and what young boy couldn't resist the idea of a talking sports car?ĭavid Hasselhoff was just perfect in the leading role.
