2. "Forever Knight" originally aired in 1989 as a TV movie after the pilot failed to be picked up for a regular season. Who was the daytime soap opera heartthrob turned pop star who debuted the character of Nick Knight?

Answer: Rick Springfield

Rick Springfield played the role of soap character Dr Noah Drake from 1981 to 1983, and again in 2007 and 2013. At the same time Springfield's heartthrob status was growing on "General Hospital", his pop star was on the rise with his hit song "Jessie's Girl" from the "Working Class Dog" album.

While none of the other three had the same level of musical success, John Stamos went on to play many loved roles on TV, including that of Uncle Jessie on "Full House".

Geraint Wyn Davies' decades-long career in TV and film began in 1975 and has continued through the decades with performances in such shows as "Airwolf", "Black Harbour", and "24 - Day 5". He's more recently had a recurring role as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in "Murdoch Mysteries".
4. The actor who played the role of Knight's not-too-bright partner, Det.

5. As a human, Nick Knight was a nobleman during the 13th century who was introduced to his sire and given the option of immortality, which he willingly accepted. Who was his sire?

Answer: Lacroix

Lacroix was the vampire who gave Knight immortal life and then plagued him throughout his existence once Knight decided to turn away from killing humans. The sinister but amusing and charming character was performed by the very talented British actor, Nigel Bennett.

Knight: "What are you doing here?"
Lacroix: "The usual. Making your life a living hell."
Episode: "Amateur Night", season 2
6. What was Lacroix's profession during the run of the show?

Answer: Nightime radio personality The Nightcrawler

Every night at midnight, Lacroix was host to a radio program as The Nightcrawler, giving such dark epiphanies as:

"They say no two persons are alike. Never is that more true than when it comes to our desires. Some cherish what others abhor. One man's precious cargo, is another man's poison. Some prize what others revile. Prize what you will, prize what you can, but always remember, even he who dies with the most prizes...still dies."
Episode: "Trophy Girl", Season 3

Even though Knight didn't want anything to do with his sire because of the lifestyle he represented, Knight still tuned in every night as a means of keeping a connection.
7. Detective Nick Knight solved murders in which Canadian city?

Answer: Toronto

In the original pilot, Knight had been a detective in the bright lights of Los Angeles. However, after the show was completely overhauled, the new location was a darker, more ominous setting in Toronto.
8. What was an underlying goal of Nick Knight throughout the run of the "Forever Knight" series?

Answer: To become human again

In the original pilot and the remade pilot, Knight was seeking a Mayan chalice
that was believed to be able to undo the vampire curse so he could be human again.

Throughout the series, Dr. Natalie Lambert attempted to help Knight become human again by trying different experiments. Some of the methods she used to aid in his quest was a liquid diet so he can rid himself of blood, sunbeds, and an experiment on a genetic level that seemed to work temporarily but would be too dangerous to his life if he saw it through to the end.
9. Which vampire, who had found mortality, ended up dying as a human in Nick Knight's arms?

Answer: Janette

While Janette lay dying, Knight begged her to let him turn her back into a vampire. She refused his request and he was left to decide to change her against her will or let her die as human. As it was his desire to be human, he allowed her to die.
10. Which of the following actors was NOT a guest star on "Forever Knight" before gaining their fame on other TV shows or movies?

Answer: Nathan Fillion

It could be mistaken that Nathan Fillion was in "Forever Knight", as he did make an appearance in a cult-classic show, however his run-in with vampires came a few years after Knight's end in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer".

Clark Johnson went on to star in "Homicide: Life on the Street" from 1993-1999.

Carrie-Anne Moss performed in many other TV shows and garnered huge box-office success in the "Matrix" trilogy.
