William Daniels, who on TV played Dr. Mark Craig on "St. Elsewhere" and Mr. Feeny on "Boy Meets World". He of course had an extensive film career as well. Films like THE GRADUATE, THE PARALLAX VIEW, 1776, BLACK SUNDAY, BLIND DATE, HER ALIBI, etc.

And yes he is credited on IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083437/reference

Connery, Moore, and Brosnan! Accept NO substitutes!

Interesting, thanks! :D

William has also done a garmin gps voice set, so you can have your directions read out by KITT.

I really wish I had known that a KR gps was available sooner. I have the exactly the same gps, but nor the KR one. A friend showed me hers. That model also has those rolling lights on the front of it, like KITT does.

How sad, that you were not born in my time, nor I, in yours.

You can put the KR voice on any modern gps. just buy the correct brand samples and copy it onto the device from your computer (just like copy files to a usb drive, so, easy).

Uhm...I'm already in the dark... brand samples? I did know you could plug in the gps to the computer, though I never have... not even sure I have the right cord.

Sigh. Can you copy from one gps to another?

Thanks for the advice!

brand samples - if your gps is Garmin, buy the Garmin set, if it's TomTom, buy the tomtom set. the way they arrange the samples is slightly different.

To copy from one gps to another, plug one gps into your computer, copy the sound files to your computer, then plug in the other gps and copy the files onto it.

Thanks! I may give it a whirl. I found a seller on Amazon, but it wasn't currently in stock...

Because he's uncredited in the show. voice-only acting is sometimes considered a 'special effect' and not credited, like James Earl Jones was not credited for Darth Vader's voice in Star Wars IV: A New Hope. (it's only later movies where he wanted the credit, as he was becoming famous for it).

William Daniels. He was on St. Elsewhere as Dr. Mark Craig.

Also, sometimes it is a gimmick factor. They want you to guess... like John Forsythe on Charlie's Angels. Adds interest to the show.

I also seem to remember that Daniels was voicing KITT and staring on the St. Elsewhere drama at the same time, that he wanted the more dramatic show to take precident. Of course to any William Daniel's fan, his voice is unmistakeable. I watched the pilot when it made its debut, because I have always loved Edward Mulhare's work, and had KITTs voice pegged within 10 minutes. I love 1776.
