On the ''Knight Rider'' Season one DVD Pilot Commentary, creator Glen Larson mentioned that Lance LeGault had "a voice that was four octaves lower than God's." In truth, LeGault does indeed have a characteristically low voice, if not gravely; this trait helped him fetch roles (often) as a villain or other "tough guy."
