The 1980s action-adventure series, Knight Rider, introduced David Hasselhoff's Michael Knight to audiences across the globe, to critical acclaim.
Starring the Baywatch actor, the series followed the lone crime-fighter as he battled forces of evil with KITT, an artificially intelligent self-driving 1982 Pontiac Trans Am.
It was a roaring success on television in the decade of decadence and catapulted its cast to stardom, resulting in stellar careers for the likes of Patricia McPherson, Rebecca Holden and Peter Parros.
Since its release in 1982, the series lasted for a total of four seasons and ahead of its 50th anniversary, we're taking a look at where the cast are now…
