Val Kilmer's Uncredited KITT Voice Role Revealed

Summary
- Val Kilmer voiced KITT in the 2008 Knight Rider revival.
- Kilmer's voice performance was intentionally uncredited.
- This may have been an homage to William Daniels' original role.
In the 2008 revival of the 1980s series "Knight Rider," audiences heard the familiar voice of KITT, but the actor behind it was a surprise. Val Kilmer voiced the sentient car, KITT, in the modern-day sequel series, which featured the vehicle as a Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR. The show centered on Mike Traceur, the estranged son of the original Michael Knight, who is recruited to fight crime with his high-tech vehicle.
Despite his significant contribution throughout the single season of the revival, Val Kilmer's performance as KITT was never credited. This has led to speculation among fans, with many suggesting it was a deliberate homage to William Daniels. Daniels, the original voice of KITT in the 1982 series, also chose to remain uncredited for his iconic work, establishing a unique parallel between the two KITT portrayals.
