I happily relinquish my role!

I probably won't have much in the way of revelations this time around, anyway. If I do hear anything I think I can pass along, I will...

Is this the son of Bruce Campbell from Evil Dead?

[neps]

According to IMDB - he is son to a "Bruce Campbell" but it doesn't say if its one and the same. Plus IMDB - can you trust it?

Well it says he was born in Vancouver, so I would guess that would be a no. It looks to me he might have written this IMDB himself. In my experience IMDB is accurate because even though anyone can contribute, the actual people and companies are usually on the ball about taking down inaccurate information.

Now assuming we still have Wayne Kasserman, Sydney and some others on board, don’t you think this is a lot of people for a show about one man? I’m interested to see how they will develop all these characters.

Don't think Paul's related to Bruce Campbell, but he is a very talented actor. Check out "Nobody's Watching" - a sitcom pilot he did on Youtube. He's great in it.

Just watched that Nobody's Watching pilot, funny "OMG I`d call my dad if i had one" LOL , Funny guy, nice addition hopefully they`ll inject the much needed comedy relief into the new series, if they get this show right it could be amazing. Is that weird little guy - ` Mikes pointless friend with the strange goatee` still in it??

As I posted on KITTSite, it seems that the Dylan Fass character is nowhere to be seen in the new series premiere. Something COULD be said or done to write him off in the opening minutes, but it seems that especially with the addition of two new characters, that Dylan might be a goner.

NOT that I'd wish anything bad on Justin Bruening - but Paul Campbell might have even been a more appealing lead and believable heir to Michael Knight than Justin is. He's just that good. Guess we'll see where they're going with this...

[neps]

From our interview with GST, he did make it seem that there was going to be some characters not carrying over from the pilot. Specially if they want to go back to the "young loner" feel - having both a best friend and a steady GF is way too stable.

The character of Dylan was reduced a bit from the original script to air, wasn't much left to him anyway in the movie itself.

[KryptonSite]

Personally I wish they WOULDN'T have such a big supporting cast... part of what worked with old-school KR was that "one man can make a difference." Not one man, his ex-girlfriend, this guy, that woman, that lesbian FBI agent over there, this, that, and the other thing. Knight Rider was about Michael Knight and KITT, and though Bonnie/April and Devon were there, and even RC3 later on, it was very much in a supporting role.

I do know that Rivai and the Graimans are indeed in "Knight in Shining Armor" at least... but no sign of Dylan from anything I've heard.

[PHOENIXZERO]

Hmm, I must have posted last time in a different topic, oh well.

Not surprised, I always thought he wouldn't make it to be a series regular. They could always have a line or two mentioning that he left. If they want they could always have an episode where Mike seems him again.

Another pretty boy?

The odd thing is that Wayne Kasserman, (Dylan) has been up on the IMDB for the KR series for quite some time now and hardly anyone else is listed. This doesn’t prove anything because the release date is also wrong. It is also interesting that someone has bothered to add all the first season episodes. I’m sure NBC isn’t really on the ball about fixing things considering they are still showing old attack KITT and the wrong steering wheel on their web site. But I’m gonna keep my eye on the IMDB to see who they add and who they take away.

I don’t know, but like I said, if I were Wayne I’d be clicking on my IMDB page from time to time and I’d have them fix it if it were wrong. So. ???

Since IMDB is user (and fan) submitted, it is very easy for there to be errors, unfortunately.
