Michael Knight's middle name?

Post by kittknight1979 » Thu Apr 06, 2006 12:08 pm

Is Michael Knights middle name "Arthur"? I recall that Michael Knight mentions that his former name was Michael "Arthur" Long.
Kitt, I need you!

I don't think he used his middle name "Arthur" as Michael Knight. If you look at this pic, there is no middle name on his ID card...

More questionable is how did they get a photo of Michael with his
new face for this license while he was still recovering from the
surgery when Devon gave it to him?

It is possibly a photo of Garth or the young Wilton...

Then how did they get his signature? And if it was done by someone else, how do they know Michael would be able to duplicate it in situations where he would have to sign for something, and produce his driver's license as a comparison (as some things may require one to do, even back then)?

That would be a bit interesting.

Maybe they had him sign some papers and took a photo of him for things. They just didn't tell Michael they were going to give him all that stuff. Just another one of those things that you have to figure happend "off camera".

You can even see the address on that licence, that's cool. Something strange I noticed, it has Brn / Brn...I am guessing that would be for hair and eyes but he had blue eyes. I also see his b-day which is 1-13-53 but there is a episode that shows Michael Long's grave stone and it had 1-9-53 I believe. Interesting...hehe.

That's a cool photo though, really neat to see that close up.

it would make sense not to give micheal knight the same birthday as michael long. it would make it too easy for someone to put 2 and 2 together if they both had the same birthday. what doesn't make sense is that they had the dates so close together.

Yeah I had thought about that later. They might have done that on purpose so they wouldn't figure out it was Michael Long. I remember that date on the stone because that is my birthday, Jan. 9th.

They probably didn't want to put it too far off from his real b-day so he would be the correct age. That is my guess.

Thanks for the information. You know Michael Knight is a name that is still cool today, and will be forever a pretty cool name. It might name my kid Michael Knight Miner. Just kidding. lol
Kitt, I need you!
