Threesome Rounds Out Knight Rider Cast
--------------------------------------
Bruce Davison, Wayne Kasserman and Greg Ellis round out
the cast of NBC's upcoming two-hour movie/pilot "Knight
Rider," says The Hollywood Reporter.
"Knight Rider," from Universal and Dutch Oven, is a
sequel to the 1980s series and centers on Mike Tracer
(Justin Bruening), Michael Knight's (David Hasselhoff)
son who never knew his dad.
Tracer is recruited by his childhood best friend, Sarah
Graiman (Deanna Russo), and her eccentric physicist
father, Charles (Davison), to join the Knight Foundation,
a group committed to counteracting and preventing the
damage done by private, covert military contractors.
To assist their missions, Charles creates the
second-generation KITT, an artificially intelligent
car.
A shady millionaire approaches Charles to commission a
KITT car, and when Charles refuses, he hires a military
contractor to murder him and steal the car.
Ellis will play Welther, one of the bad guys. The role
is considered guest-starring, with a potential to
continue if "Knight Rider" goes to series.
Kasserman plays Dylan, Mike's loyal roommate, friend and
race car mechanic who joins the Knight Rider team.
Errrr ... "the Knight Foundation, a group committed to counteracting
and preventing the damage done by private, covert military
contractors." What?!?! :-\
After a few years of shovelling female characters into every role, it
now looks like they've gone the other way - no April / Bonnie as
mechanic this time around.
