Where Are They Now?
The Men, Women And That Sexy Car of Knight Rider—Where Are They Now?
What do you get when you combine a well-meaning billionaire, an ex-cop, a sexy female mechanic and a talking indestructible car? Knight Rider, which ran from 1982 to 1986, was the American TV version of “007” that people could catch each week on their televisions, and much better (and faster) than waiting for a Bond thriller to come out. Quick plot summary: the ailing billionaire, Wilton Knight saves Michael Long from a near-fatal gunshot wound and gives him a new name along with a set of new fingerprints—and voila, Michael Knight was born. Criminals were left shaking in their boots, because the new representative of Knight Industries also had a talented team behind him (not to mention the ever so invulnerable car, K.I.T.T.). We take a look at where the stars of this classic TV show are today --30 years later! By Brittany Carson

Patricia McPherson—Now
McPherson’s film and TV career didn’t last much longer after Knight Rider, because she decided to instead invest her time and money in preserving wildlife and forests. She starred in a few films and scored guest appearances on successful series like Murder, She Wrote and Star Trek: Next Generation but gave up acting in 2009. She’s married to James Garrett and works on environment protection, now.
