Knight Rider Cast

Iconic TV bit character actors

Actress Felicia Pearson -- best known as the cold-blooded killer Snoop on 'The Wire' -- pleaded not guilty to drug charges on Tuesday, May 17, 2011. It's an extreme example of the fate of actors best known for one iconic bit character (and, sometimes, two characters). Here are some other such actors, and a bit about what happened to them. Thanks to Internet Movie Database for providing key details.

But 'Star Trek' has bestowed everlasting fame on actors who played much-more-minor characters. Grace Lee Whitney, for instance, was in eight episodes of the original series as sexy Yeoman Janice Rand, plus a few appearances in later Trek shows and movies. That's enough, apparently, for her own 'World-Wide Fan Club.' Photo: Getty Images, David Livingston / 2006 Getty Images But it's not just 'Star Trek.' Many long-running shows continued to shadow actors from even non-starring roles long after they ended. Take Alison Arngrim, who is best known as bratty rich girl Nellie Oleson in 'Little House on the Prairie.' In this episode, Nellie eloped with Luke Simms in the 1977 episode 'Here Come the Brides.' 1977.

Since playing psychiatrist Maj. Sidney Freedman, actor Allan Arbus has appeared in such shows as 'Cagney & Lacey,' 'Hardcastle and McCormick,' 'L.A. Law,' 'Matlock,' 'Law & Order,' 'Mad About You,' 'NYPD Blue' and 'Curb Your Enthusiasm.' Here, he embraces Loretta Swit -- M*A*S*H's Maj. Margaret 'Hot Lips' Houlihan -- on stage at the 7th Annual TV Land Awards on April 19, 2009 in Unversal City, Calif. Photo: Getty Images, Alberto E.

Here, he performs on stage at the 2009 VH1 Hip Hop Honors at the Brooklyn Academy of Music on September 23, 2009 in New York.

We have talked about to see KARR again. Imagine the KARR´s cpu installed in the Goliath´s body… it would be a real Megatron in this situation… so, in a decisive moment Michael Knight and the KI2T, involved in this episode, decides to sacrifice themselves to save Mike and the 3000… that would be a way to stop our suffering to see DH comes back to participate… and at least once more time we´d see our great heroes, MK and KI2T ( in the trans-am ). KITT: I´m with u Michael... but I need to request u something, if we don´t survive in all this I don´t want to be reactivated, send a message to FLAG, to Sarah, say her that if it happens to don´t reactivate me again, I can´t exist without you Michael, we are a team. Say her she will be free to backup all my datas, for future research, but I don´t want to be reactivated. Snoop Dogg would be cursing at K.I.T.T. throughout the movie, Van-Damme is just not suited for the franchise of Knight Rider at all and Jason Statham would make a good villain for Knight Rider because Jason Statham is more of an anti-hero type rather than a "heroic knight" that David Hasselhoff displayed in TOS. Justin Bruening did a decent of job of carrying the mantle of Michael Knight and I think that he could still be utilized to remain as Michael Knight if Glen A. Larson were reboot the story of Knight Rider for the motion picture. A lot of people would say Ben Affleck because of Gigli, but personally I would like to have an actor who kinda looks similar to Hasslehoff. I thought of Superman Returns Brandon Routh at first, but something didn't click....I'd say for a Micheal Knight..........um.....some reason I could see Ryan Seacrest . He got the look.....somehow. As for KITT's Voice....without a shadow of doubt Rob Scheinder. His accent reminds me of the original KITT. I don't see Mark Wahlberg or Paul Walker as MK because they simply aren't charming or funny without being goofy. Ben Affleck was horrible as Daredevil; lesson learned. Vince Vaughn would make MK a joke. He can't handle the physicality and It'd be just look like a parody gone wrong. I don't see Alex O'Laughlin either. He's not charming or funny. He just gets by on his looks. Jensen Ackles also fits the critera quite well. Charm, bravado, sense of humor, action, he's done all of that and can even pull off a leather jacket. He can do jokes in a serious situation without breaking the scene.
