Biography

British-born Don Knight studied for the Ordained Ministry in Montreal and in Washington D.C.

With his young family, he moved to California in 1965. While pursuing his acting career, he continued to serve churches. Don was the proud father of two (a daughter and a son) from his first marriage. He was best known for his "cold killer" roles but enjoyed playing likable characters as well.
