20 Questions with Rider Strong. (WD/KITT mention.)

[jyd85]

For those who don't know who he is, Rider Strong co-starred with William Daniels on Boy Meets World. I stumbled across this interview via livejournal, and had to share the KR mention.

Q: How many times did you make William Daniels do the voice of KITT from Knight Rider?

A: Never. I wish I had. I should have recorded him doing it. Our executive producer’s name was Michael, so it didn’t hit me until our first note session when he was like, “Michael…” I was like, “Oh my God! I know that voice!” Everyone told me that he was from The Graduate. They don’t realize—they were all in their 40s—they don’t realize that as a kid from the 80s, that is the only thing I would have known. He was the voice of [expletive] KITT. He came to work one day and he said, “I just did an episode of The Simpsons. They had a talking car and they brought me in.” We’re like, “You are the coolest person in the world. Not only are you the voice of KITT, you’re the voice of mock KITT on The Simpsons. You’re God.” He didn’t even realize that it was a big deal.
