William Daniels | Born: 1927

Many are familiar with Dustin Hoffman’s role in The Graduate — his performance was exemplary. Did you know, though, that William Daniels played the part of Hoffman’s character in the same movie? It was a movie that received significant investment from Hollywood, and it did not disappoint. Apart from this film, Daniels was part of Captain Nice and was the voice of KITT in Knight Rider. To his credit, he’ll always be remembered for voicing KITT, because that show is somewhat of an icon.

In 2014, the actor reprised his role as Mr. Feeny for the pilot episode of the Boy Meets World spinoff, Girl Meets World. Even though he is now 94 years old, Daniels still takes on voice roles, such as the one mentioned above. As for live roles, he has toned down a bit and his last major big-screen project was in 2007, as Commissioner Ebbers in Blades of Glory.
