Kate Upton as C.J. Parker, originally played by Pamela Anderson
We know the Sports Illustrated model can run down the beach so, why the hell not?

Chris Pratt as Mike “Newmie” Newman, originally played by Michael Newman
The ability to grow a mustache is of the utmost importance for this role, and Pratt’s a boss at sprouting facial hair.

Hilary Swank as Stephanie Holden, originally played by Alexandra Paul

Jon Hamm as J.D. Darius, originally played by Michael Bergin

David Beckham as Cody Madison, originally played by David Chokachi

Kerry Washington as Jordan Tate, originally played by Traci Bingham
Saving someone from drowning might be a nice change of pace from the drama she deals with on “Scandal.”

Nick Jonas as Matt Brody, originally played by David Charvet
The youngest JoBro has no problem popping his shirt off so this seems like a no-brainer.

Christina Hendricks as Donna Marco, originally played by Donna D’Errico

Katherine Heigl as April Giminski, originally played by Kelly Packard

Zac Efron as Logan Fowler, originally played by Jaason Simmons
Efron has the abs but can he do an Australian accent?

Carmen Electra as Leilani “Lani” McKenzie, originally played by Carmen Electra
Somehow Carmen looks hotter now than she did when she was on the show in 1997.
