Biography of Christopher Knight

Christopher Anton Knight, an American actor, is best known for his role as Peter Brady in the 1970s TV series "The Brady Bunch". He is currently a successful businessman and seems to be experiencing a second wave of popularity due to recent appearances on television. He hosts the game show "Trivial Pursuit: America Plays".

Early Life and Acting Career

Knight was born on November 7, 1957, in New York City. His father, Edward Knight, was also an actor. After the filming of "The Brady Bunch" ended, he frequently appeared as a guest on various television shows and later helped create a computer game based on the series. Knight's passion for science and machines led him to the computer industry. His celebrity status helped him negotiate lucrative deals, and he excelled in sales and marketing.

Business Ventures

After starting as a sales manager at "Martec Inc.", Knight earned his first million from sales within a year and a half, quickly becoming the top employee and chief sales representative. In 1988, he reprised his role in the holiday series "A Very Brady Christmas". In October 1989, Knight became the Vice President of Marketing and propelled the company into the era of 3D technology. In mid-1991, he and several other employees transferred all the labor and material reserves of the company to a new venture called "Visual Software". Knight, being a co-founder of the new company, also became one of the first consumers of the 3D graphics market. Through Knight's efforts, the company's annual sales revenue increased from $400,000 to $4.2 million within ten months. In January, "Visual Software" was acquired by "Micrografx".

Later Ventures

In late 1995, Knight and his friend and business partner Frank Paniagua founded "Kidwise Learningware", a company that produces interactive educational games for children. Knight became the CEO of the company. In February 1996, he took on the role of Vice President of Sales at "Adesso", a company that manufactures computer keyboards. Within four months, the company's sales doubled. In August 1997, he teamed up with Paniagua again, and they created "Integrated Micro Solutions (I.M.S.)", later renamed "IXMICRO". Knight initially held the position of Vice President of Targeted Marketing and later advanced to Vice President of Marketing. The company's annual revenue increased from less than $2 million in 1997 to $63 million in 1998.

Return to Acting and Personal Life

More recently, Knight returned to his creative profession and appeared in the fourth season of the show "The Surreal Life". This garnered even more attention than in earlier years. He also took the opportunity to start a romance with his co-star and neighbor on the set, model Adrianne Curry, who is nearly twenty-five years younger than Knight. They got engaged and later married in Curry's hometown of Joliet, Illinois, in May 2006, with a gothic-themed ceremony. In the same year, Knight became a spokesperson for "Ab Lounge". Currently, he hosts the quiz show "Trivial Pursuit: America Plays".
