Where Are They Now?
The Men, Women And That Sexy Car of Knight Rider—Where Are They Now?
What do you get when you combine a well-meaning billionaire, an ex-cop, a sexy female mechanic and a talking indestructible car? Knight Rider, which ran from 1982 to 1986, was the American TV version of “007” that people could catch each week on their televisions, and much better (and faster) than waiting for a Bond thriller to come out. Quick plot summary: the ailing billionaire, Wilton Knight saves Michael Long from a near-fatal gunshot wound and gives him a new name along with a set of new fingerprints—and voila, Michael Knight was born. Criminals were left shaking in their boots, because the new representative of Knight Industries also had a talented team behind him (not to mention the ever so invulnerable car, K.I.T.T.). We take a look at where the stars of this classic TV show are today --30 years later! By Brittany Carson

David Hasselhoff—Now
For Hasselhoff, the Knight Rider series was only the beginning of his superstar career. Hasselhoff went on to produce and star in Baywatch, which made him a sex symbol and pop culture icon. He struck cable TV gold again with the soap drama, The Young and the Restless from 1975 to 2010. In 2010, he was a contestant on Dancing With The Stars and while he didn’t win, he’s kept himself and his feet busy hitting red carpets and continuing his career in TV and film.
