Re-use Of Actors in Knight Rider Episodes

[NZ KNIGHT]

Hey everyone,

Has anyone else noticed that they used the same actors in different episodes to play different people. EG in the season 2 episode "A good knights work" John Vernon played Cameron Zachary, then in the season 4 episode "Voo Doo Knight" he played Claude Watkins. Also in the season 2 episode "Soul Survivor" Ann Turkel played Adrianne Margeaux then in Goliath Returns part 1 & 2 she played Adrianne St.Clair, then finally in the season 3 episode "Knight in retreat" she played Bianca Morgan. Has anybody noticed any other actors who have played different parts in KR???

I've just found another one!

In the season 1 episode "Deadly Maneuvers" Alan Oppenheimer played General Duncton then in the season 3 episode "Custom Made Killer" he played Louis

[knightdriver]

Don't forget

Garth and Michael Knight - The Hoff!

I know.... I know....duh.

[Wizster]

Don't forget

Garth and Michael Knight - The Hoff!

I know.... I know....duh.

What? Are you suggesting David played both of them? I suppose there are some similarities

When I first saw "The Hoff", as it were, doing the Garthe Knight character, I thought it was someone else doing the role, but I was surprised to see in a past TV guide listing that he did do the evil twin part as well as his normal character.
I still am even now!
BTW(by the way), watching "Knight Rider" is more fun than his present personal situation these days. Just my opinion.

What about the Shreiff in "sky Knight?"
Can't remember the actors name, but he was also in "the Topaz connection" and "kitt the cat which oddly enough he played a policeman

Also in the season 2 episode "Soul Survivor" Ann Turkel played Adrianne Margeaux then in Goliath Returns part 1 & 2 she played Adrianne St.Clair,

Well, In both Soul Survivor and Goliath reutrns she is supposed to be Adrianne Margeaux, even in Goliath Returns Devon calls her that, it seems thet's a typo in the opening credits. However, they shouldn't have reused her - one of the more memorable villains - as that Bianca person. Same with the nordstrom guy, even though he played someone else on his first appeared, the mechanical arm thing was cool, lol.

It's funny, in Goliath, when Michael and Garthe are fighting...if you look closely (especially with Garthe gets tossed onto the ground), it's very obviously a stunt double. The stunt double they have playing Garthe in the fighting scenes doesn't look anything like David. If that type of scene were to be done today they would probably use blue screen work or CG to make two characters played by the same actor look the same...but I guess they didn't really have that kind of budget for a TV show in '83. It seems like they relied on quickly changing camera angles and quick movements rather than trying to make the stunt double look even remotely like David. I do remember, when I first saw that episode as a kid, I didn't realize that David was playing both roles. I thought Garthe was someone else. Oh, and Ann Turkel is VERY good at playing the evil seductive lady-of-the-episode, maybe that's why they used her again for a different character.
