To you, maybe, I have no recollection of this show being broadcast in the UK (was it on a digital channel in the early days?). Some of us will remember him better as the voice of KITT in Knight Rider, or Dr. Craig in St. Elsewhere; they'll have heard of the shows at least. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 17,648 Posted September 9, 2021 Boy Meets World was v popular in the mid 90s. One of the terrestrial channels did show it but I forget which. Knight Rider probably far better known to most people over the age of 40 or so though. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomTomTelekom 3,570 Posted September 9, 2021 He ist not that unknown if even I know him He was president of Screen Actors Guild from 1999 to 2001 and played in so many movies, for example Dustin Hoffmann character's father in The Graduate, in "Reds" beside Diane Keaton and Warren Beatty or in "Two for the Road" beside Audrey Hepburn. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RoverAndOut 3,257 Posted September 9, 2021 So...basically, if we'd started this thread with "Former President of the Screen Actors Guild William Daniels is still going aged 95. Well known for being the voice of KITT in Knight Rider he also starred in films like 'The Graduate' and 'Reds' and in tv shows like 'St Elsewhere' and 'Boy Meets World'.' then I'm not sure I'd even have commented. Clearly had a big career, even if I still haven't heard of him. I've heard of Boy Meets World, I'm vaguely aware it was on in the 90s, but I've never seen it. I've not seen any of the others either to be honest, but I'm aware of their cultural significance. I'd still question whether he needs his own thread, though, since there's nothing wrong with him and he's hardly prolific in the news. But I'm not a thread Nazi like some on here. Each to their own and all that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good actor though, hopefully he's got a bit left in him yet. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Point well taken, but i'd argue he's had a more prolific career than Bill Gates father did. 3 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some of us will remember him better as the voice of KITT in Knight Rider, or Dr. Craig in St. Elsewhere; they'll have heard of the shows at least. Definitely Dr Craig for me. I have never seen Knight Rider. I'm not sure he warrants a thread of his own though and I say that as a St Elsewhere fan. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anybody with enough of a shot at making the DL deserves a thread, kinda the whole reason to have separate celebrity threads in the first place. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slackhurst Broadcasting 326 Posted September 10, 2021 As I said just the other day, he'll be best remembered as "the voice of Knight Rider's car." Actually the other night I watched the Naked City episode "Idylls Of A Running Back" and he turned up in that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
