Bruce Davison, Wayne Kasserman and Greg Ellis round out the cast of NBC's upcoming two-hour movie/pilot KNIGHT RIDER, reports The Hollywood Reporter. Trade says that Davison will be playing Charles while Ellis will play one of the villains looking towards stealing K.I.T.T in the pilot. Kasserman will play a character named Dylan, the loyal friend of leading character Mike Tracer (Justin Bruening). David Hasselhoff, Deanna Russo and actress Sydney Tamiia Poitier will also be starring in the new series. The pilot will be directed by Steve Shill and executive produced by Doug Liman, Shill, Glen Larson and Dave Barton.

Plot Concept: Tracer is recruited by his childhood best friend, Sarah Graiman (Deanna Russo), and her eccentric physicist father, Charles (Davison), to join the Knight Foundation, a group committed to counteracting and preventing the damage done by private, covert military contractors. To assist their missions, Charles creates the second-generation KITT, an artificially intelligent car. A shady millionaire approaches Charles to commission a KITT car, and when Charles refuses, he hires a military contractor to murder him and steal the car.
