Ian Ziering is the father figure of the “Sharknado” TV movie franchise — and for the third installment, he’s got an actual father of his own.

David Hasselhoff is set to play Fin’s dad, Gilbert Shepherd, in Syfy’s “Sharknado 3.” The former “Baywatch” star will join Ziering, Tara Reid and Cassie Scerbo in the July movie, which sees sharks causing mass destruction in Washington, D.C., before roaring down the Eastern Seaboard and into Florida.
