David Hasselhoff is cancelling a pantomime role to star in Simon Cowell's latest US TV show.
The former Knight Rider star was due to play Captain Hook in the New Wimbledon Theatre's production of Peter Pan in London this Christmas.
Hasselhoff will instead head to the United States to form part of a panel judging aspiring performers in America's Got Talent.
The 53-year-old Baywatch legend will sit alongside journalist Piers Morgan and singer Brandy, as contestants compete for a $1 million prize.
America's Got Talent starts this week on NBC, whilst Peter Pan looks for a new major actor.
