Christopher Knight

Christopher Anton Knight (born November 7, 1957) is an American actor and businessman.

Before the Brady Bunch series, he had had some small television roles, including an appearance on the first season of Mannix, in a 1967 episode called "Coffin for a Clown".

He is best known for playing Peter Brady in the 1970s series The Brady Bunch.

He reunited with his former Brady costars in the holiday TV movie A Very Brady Christmas (1988).

In 1988, Knight, a self-described "geek", left acting to pursue a business career in the computer industry.

He got a job as an account sales manager for Martec, Inc. and landed that company's first million-dollar sales deal within his first 18 months on the job, for which he was named Employee of the Year.

In 1989, he was named Vice President of Design System Marketing and Sales at New Image Industry.

In 1991, he co-founded Visual Software, a pioneering 3D graphics company.

In 1995, he founded Kidwise Learningware, a company that manufactures interactive educational products.

In 1996, he joined the keyboard manufacturer Adesso, and in 1997, he became Vice President of Marketing at iXMicro, a video hardware company.

In 1998, he founded his own TV tuner company, Eskape Labs; it was purchased by Hauppauge Computer Works in 2000.

Continuing to pursue TV opportunities, Knight appeared on VH1's fourth season of The Surreal Life.

The show garnered Knight more attention than he had received in quite some time, in part because he appeared shirtless on the show, revealing a well-built body.

During his stint on the show, he began a romance with castmate model Adrianne Curry, winner of America's Next Top Model cycle 1, who is almost 25 years younger than Knight.

He has since gone on to become a businessman and enjoyed a semi-resurgence in the public eye with television appearances in the 2000s.

After the show, the two moved in together and got engaged, as documented on the VH1 series My Fair Brady, which premiered on September 11, 2005.

Knight proposed to his third wife, model and reality television personality Adrianne Curry, on the season finale of My Fair Brady, on VH1, which aired on November 6, 2005.

The series was renewed for another season, and the couple wed in Curry's hometown of Joliet, Illinois, on May 29, 2006, in a Gothic-style wedding.

Knight participated in VH-1's retrospective miniseries, I Love The '70s: Volume II.

The show was renewed for a second season that began in June 2006, and focused on the couple's wedding preparations.

The couple wed in Curry's hometown of Joliet, Illinois, on May 29, 2006, in a gothic-style wedding.

He, his family, and friends appeared on the season finale of NBC's Celebrity Family Feud on July 29, 2008.

During the 2008–09 television season, Knight hosted the syndicated game show, Trivial Pursuit: America Plays.

He has hosted a series of Jonathan Goodson-produced game show specials for the Michigan Lottery, Make Me Rich.

The first special was scheduled for October 16, 2009, with a second scheduled for February 2010.

Knight's manager, Phil Viardo, told a celebrity gossip website on May 29, 2011, that Knight and Curry were announcing their separation.

The date was the couple's fifth wedding anniversary.

He founded an online furniture company Christopher Knight Home in 2012.

Knight was born in New York City, New York, the son of Wilma and Edward Knight, an actor.

Knight's father was born Edward Kozumplik, to parents from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, while Knight's mother was Jewish.

After the end of his Brady Bunch appearances, Knight's acting career consisted mostly of making guest appearances on other television shows (Happy Days, The Love Boat), and occasional film roles (Just You and Me, Kid, Curfew, Good Girls Don't, The Doom Generation, and Nowhere).

The show aired periodically until early 2012.

On February 2, 2012, on G4's Attack of the Show, Curry said the divorce had been finalized.

He married his fourth wife, Cara Kokenes, in November 2016.

Knight joined the other Brady Bunch cast members in the 2019 television series A Very Brady Renovation on HGTV.

In 2021, he starred in the Lifetime Christmas movie, Blending Christmas, alongside his Brady Bunch co-stars Barry Williams, Mike Lookinland, Susan Olsen, and Robbie Rist.

In 2022, Knight, Williams, and Lookinland competed in season eight of The Masked Singer as "Mummies".

They were eliminated in the third episode, which aired as the October 3 "TV Theme Night" alongside Daymond John as "Fortune Teller".

Knight has been married four times.
