Glenn A. Action series Larson in 1982 Knight Ryder was for a police detective named Michael Long, who barely survives a gunshot wound. Long is rescued by an eccentric billionaire named Wilton Knight (Richard Byshart) and gives them a wide plastic surgery to look more beautiful. Michael is given a new identity, Michael Knight (David Hasselhoff), a gifted artificially intelligent car named Keith (expressed by William Daniels) and sent it to the world as a secret crime for the flag, the Law and the Government Foundation. The whale was a modified pontiac trans-am, equipped with eerie light light in the hood. Knight Ryder included Michael using his investigative skills and high-tech accessories hidden in whale to find and point to bad guys.

"Knight Ryder" was a huge hit that lasted 90 episodes during his four seasons. It was popular enough to guarantee multiple spin-off shows and films, including "Knight Ryder 2000" (1991), "Knight Ryder 2010" (1994) and "Team Knight Rider" (1997). It does not count the multiple edition of video games "Knight Ryder" from 1986 to 2004.

In 2008, there was a restart TV movieAlso, starring Hasselhoff, who re -introduced a new version of Keith. The new whale was Ford Shelby GT500KR, but this time it could turn into other cars. Michael Knight handed him to his son's spy heritage to his son Mike, and he will continue to act in his spin-off TV series of Knight Ryder's moving from 2008 to 2009. Both in the new film and the new TV series, Keith was expressed by the late Val Kilmer.

Kilmer played a whale in all 17 episodes of the 2008 "Knight Driver" series.

William's Daniels' whale's voice is rooted deeply in the heads of Gen-Xers who watched the original "Knight driver" as children, so Kilmer had big shoes to fill them. Can Kilmer catch the perceiving disturbance of Daniels' performance, but also bring his version of the character? As it happens, he could. Indeed, Kilmer's commander -in -chief changed the dynamics of Knight Raider's power. Daniels and Hasselhoff had a relationship with a friend, with whale as a "book policeman" and Michael as "Hotshot". The series noted that no one could do justice without the other. Keith may have been more intelligent, but Michael had a charm and street smartphones.

Kilmer's play was less evil, and Bruning was not as convinced as Hasselhoff. The relationship between the new whale and Mike was less partnership, and more than a boss who did not approve who worked with a trainee. Kilmer sounded nurturing at times, but it seemed to be upset to work with this new one. Keith was a far more sophisticated machine this time as it could turn into various other vehicles. Keith was usually Ford Mustang Shelby's soup GT500KR, but it can be a pickup Ford F-150 FX4 off the road, for example. He could be Mustang since 1969 if he needs masking. (Keith could only turn into car models that were produced by Ford.)

At first, the directors had Will Arnet to record the entire Keith dialogue, but when they secured Kilmer, they again recorded all the ranks of Arnet. Arnet's performance was, no doubt just okay, but Kilmer was a famous star star and a bigger "getting" at the time. Arnet once expressed disappointment At the re -casting, but he understood the corporate reasoning why it was replaced. He was telling ads for GMC trucks at the time, so he was considered the voice of that company and borrowed his voice to an artificially intelligent Ford (GMC rival) simply would not work from a marketing perspective.
