Hasselhoff to Reprise Knight Rider Role

LOS ANGELES, November 20:
David Hasselhoff is in talks to appear on NBC’s Knight Rider in his role as Michael Knight from the original
series, with The Young & the Restless’s Deanna Russo to play the female lead and fellow soap star Justin
Bruening in the role of the son.

According to The
Hollywood Reporter, the series is
a sequel to the 1980s hit, centering on Mike Tracer (Bruening) as Michael
Knight’s son who never knew his father. Russo will play Sarah Kamen, the
daughter of Charles Kamen, the man who invented the talking car named KITT
(Knight Industries Three Thousand). Sarah receives word from KITT that her
father is missing, and the two must find Tracer, who is wasting away in Las
Vegas with gambling debt, and recruit his help.
