David Charvet - Hot French Export

David Charvet (born David Franck Guez on May 15, 1972 in Lyon, France) is an actor and singer. David's father is Tunisian-born Jewish businessman Paul Guez.

His mother, Christiane Charvet, was born in France. He and his siblings grew up speaking French as their first language.

When David was nine years-old, his parents split and he moved with his father to the United States.

He won a green card through the "Morrison visa lottery" in the early 1990s.

David is currently living in his native France, where he tours around the country (and other parts of Europe) singing songs from his albums.

Acting
David Charvet (as he became known, apparently using his mother's maiden name as his professional name) caught his big break in 1992 on Baywatch as "Matt Brody" and remained with the show for three full seasons until 1995. Charvet also appeared as "Craig Field" on Melrose Place from 1996 to 1998. He retired from acting in 1999 to concentrate on music.
