BRIXTON KARNES
as Kyle Stewart
Brixton Karnes stars as commander Kyle Stewart, a former CIA spy whose
field experience and know-how make him the perfect leader in Team
Knight Rider
Born and raised in Syosset, N.Y., Karnes eventually moved to New York
City where he was cast in several commercials before deciding to drive
his motorcycle cross-country to Los Angeles. His first big break was a
guest-starring role in the NBC television series The Father Dowling
Mysteries. Recurring roles in popular soap operas such as Days of Our
Lives and The Young and the Restless soon followed. His other
television credits include a recurring role in the 1995 CBS series The
Client with John Hurt and JoBeth Williams and guest-starring roles in
Murder, She Wrote, SIlk Stalkings and Sisters. Karnes' film credits
include a feature role in Soapdish, with Sally Field and Whoopi
Goldberg, Tank Girl with Lori Petty and Miramax's Malevolence.
Karnes is currently a member of the Hudson Guild Theater Company in
Los Angeles where he has starred in productions of Passing Room, The
Lower Depths, The Misanthrope and Lysistrata. Other theater credits
include A Few Good Men and The Taming of the Shrew.
Karnes participates in triathalons and marathons and plays golf,
tennis, baseball, basketball and football. Because he is so athletic,
Karnes is excited about performing some of his own stunts on Team
Knight Rider. He sees playing Kyle Stewart as a challenge, balancing
the physical elements with the responsibility of being the team
leader.
