How would you picture your evil twin? If you said “me but with a mustache and goatee”, then you’re definitely right — at least, if you take the word of a little TV show called Knight Rider.
If you didn’t know, Michael Knight does indeed meet his evil twin on the show, and David Hasselhoff gets to show off his acting chops. Appearing in two episodes in Season 2 of Knight Rider, do you know the name of Michael’s evil twin?

The answer is: Garthe Knight. To clarify, calling Garthe a “twin” is a little bit of a stretch. They do have the same face, but technically they’re not brothers. Garthe is the son of Wilton Knight — the dude who came up with the whole idea of turning Micahel Long into Michael Knight. Their faces are the same because Wilton basically used Garthe’s face for him — which in turn caused Garthe to see Michael as a replacement and caused a burning rage in his heart.There’s actually a pretty complicated backstory here, but I guess the writers didn’t feel like keeping Garthe around — or maybe Hasselhoff was losing his mind playing both characters. Either way, Garthe died in his second and final appearance in Knight Rider, never to be heard from again.Source
