(Credit goes to KRO, Knight Rider Archives, and Knight Rider Historians for all of the info mentioned in this post.)
Sorry there haven't been any new posts lately. Trying to improve my art and drawing skills have taken up a lot of my time as of late. (Edit: I'm hoping I can get good enough to attempt to draw KITT's voice box from either mid-S1, or S3/S4.)
I'm sorry to report that we have lost at least four Knight Rider alum, two were guest stars, and the others worked behind the scenes.
Bernard Fox, who played Commander Smythe in 'Custom K.I.T.T.', He was best known for his role in the series Hogan's Heroes. (He also appeared in the same episode of Soap as William Daniels.)
Dick Gautier, who played J. Gordon Baxter aka The Chameleon in 'Knight of the Chameleon'.
We also lost director Jeffrey Hayden (Seasons 1 & 2 & 4 - 'Hearts of Stone', 'K.I.T.T. The Cat', 'Diamonds Aren't A Girl's Best Friend', and one of my personal favorites, 'Sky Knight'.)
And finally, days ago Bruce Lansbury passed away. He was the brother of famed actress, Angela Lansbury, and helped to pen the episode 'Knight of the Rising Sun'.
Our condolences to their loved ones.

On to happier KR news.
Here's a fun KITT/Sonic crossover from LEGO Dimensions. The Knight Rider Fun Pack is being released this month.
Michael and KITT recently made an appearance in an AT&T commercial. (Unfortunately, their scene has been taken out in most broadcasts.)
William Daniels has a memoir coming out soon, titled, There I Go Again, How I Came To Be Mr. Feeny, John Adams, Dr. Craig, KITT, & Many Others. He recently posted dates on which he will be doing book signings, that you can find here on his Twitter page.
And lastly, Newsweek has done an article on Michael Scheffe and the cars used on the show. Click here to read it.
Again, I'm sorry for not posting more often. Hope everyone is doing well. <3
