Mal ,'Objects In Space'
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!
Well, Val was a last minute replacement. Turns out the original voice actor had a contract doing voiceover work for commercials with another car company (the original one, I think) and when push came to shove, decided to keep his commercial work rather than keep his voice on the pilot movie, and if any resulting series.
Seems like a wise decision to me...
I didn't watch the movie, and now I'm glad I didn't. They lost me at CHANGING THE MOTHERFUCKING CAR.

As I recall, he didn't have a choice. His contract with the previous company agreed that he would not work with a rival company
So the parties involved are admitting that it was nothing more than a 2 hour Ford commercial?
The actor whose contract precluded voicing KITT was Will Arnett. I was surprised to learn he was the voice of GMC trucks, but I do FF through a lot of commercials.
And to bring it back round to soap talk, the lead in the Knight Rider movie played Tad's son, Jamie Martin, on All My Children. He is also married to Alexa Havens, who played his on-screen love interest Babe on AMC.
Who voices the Lexus commercials? I always feel like I should know who that is.
Huh. It's probably the 2nd guy, but neither is who I was expecting.
I know that Clancy Brown voices the Honda Ridgeline commercials. That distinctive growl on "Ridgeliiiine." "Better to burn up than to fade away!"
eep. Sorry for the random, Just--voices, vehicle commercials, my mind went there.
