The last person to play the role of Parker was Pamela Anderson, who played the role for ten years on the original television drama. To fit the role first set by Anderson, Johnson posted another video testing Rohrbach’s running in slow motion so she could better fit the role of Parker, saying, “For our #BAYWATCH and the iconic role of “CJ Parker” I had to make sure @kellyrohrbach was ridiculously sexy running in SLO-MO.”
