Why Did David Charvet Leave Hollywood?
David Charvet left Hollywood to be a present father to his children.
After leaving Baywatch in 1996, Charvet went on to play Craig Field on Melrose Place, appearing on 46 episodes between 1996 and 1998. His last acting role credit was in 2013's Prisoners of the Sun.
Charvet said he left Hollywood and changed his lifestyle after welcoming his first child with ex-wife Brooke Burke. The two, who were married from 2011 until 2020, share daughter Heaven and son Shaya.
"Before I had my first child, I was traveling for five years in 42 countries doing concerts for my music," Charvet told Page Six in March 2022. "There’s no way I could do that again. I had to find a different meaning to my life."

David Charvet now runs a contracting company in Los Angeles.
He continued, "I didn’t want to go and take a TV show that was in Canada, I didn’t want to travel to Europe to do my music. I wanted to stay home and I wanted to be a good dad. I wanted to be there for my children every single day."
In 2006, Charvet discovered his new passion while building a new home in Malibu, and now runs The Jones Builders Group, a contracting company in Los Angeles that builds 10 to 14 houses per year.
"We finished the house, and every time that we invited people over… they were like, ‘My God this house is so beautiful. Do you think you could do it again?’" Charvet recalled.
