CHRISTOPHER KNIGHT - "HIGH TECH GIFTS"  

Once and forever a Brady! Christopher Knight met life as a child actor, starring as "Peter Brady" in the TV classic hit show "The Brady Bunch" (1969). A reluctant icon, Christopher has focused his adult years on interests beyond the entertainment industry, particularly the corporate world of computers and high technology. Yet, due to the omnipresent and flourishing legacy of all things "Brady", Christopher's successful endeavors beyond show biz exist in peaceful subordination to his portrayal of "Peter" and his arguably estimable contribution to American pop culture. So, in an act of self-unification, Christopher is returning to his entertainment roots and is seriously exploring his options as an actor, host, spokesperson and erstwhile entertainment figure. Christopher's corporate existence in his adult years didn't constitute a full retirement from show business - he has starred or otherwise participated in the plethora of periodic Brady films, television movies, series, gatherings, discussions and retrospectives. Christopher also has exploited his status as an entertainment figure by availing himself to several projects as a host and spokesperson, including projects such as the American Counseling Association's 2002 & 2003 "Healthy Skin, Healthy Outlook" campaign, that went on to received the Gold Triangle Award both years Knight served as spokesperson. Christopher was also privileged to be the spokesperson for the National Consumer League's "AD/HD Campaign", speaking in Washington D.C. at the National Press Club on the sensitive subject of AD/HD, as he himself is an adult with ADD. Most recently, Christopher was brought on as the spokesman for a popular personal fitness product, Ab Lounge XL®. In 2003, he was asked to host a segment on the Travel Channel series' "TV Road Trip" (2003), starring the late John Ritter. When the series was optioned for a second cycle, Christopher was offered to "Host" the series. It was, in fact, this participation that lead to the rekindling of Christopher's interest in front and behind the camera. Christopher was soon signed up for the celebrity version of Discovery Health Channel's "Body Challenge", which debuted in the fall of 2004 and then to his unforgettable participation on VH1's "The Surreal Life" (2003) 4. The explosion of popularity and "new found fame" as a result of this #1 VH1 Hit that has also lead to his high-profile romance with "The Surreal Life" (2003) co-star and "America's Next Top Model" (2003) winner, Adrianne Curry, has placed Knight squarely back in the spotlight. Grateful at this unique second opportunity at an acting career, Christopher relishes the chance at experiencing celebrity now as a seasoned, experienced, "well-baked" adult. In 2005, his on-screen endeavors included special guest appearances on shows such as WB's "Blue Collar TV" (2004) and ABC's "Less Than Perfect" (2002). He has also starred as the lead in the independent film, Light Years Away (2008), co-starring Eric Roberts. Last, but certainly not least, Knight has been working on several projects with his now-girlfriend, model and TV personality Adrianne Curry, projects, that will surely keep his fans glued to the screen for a long time to come.
