MARK VALLEY CAST AS THE HUMAN TARGET

Mark Valley has been cast as Christopher Chance for Fox's The Human Target television pilot, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Valley, 44, has had a recurring role on Fox's Fringe this season as John Scott, a special agent. His other credits include Boston Legal and Swingtown.

The Human Target is being produced by Warner Bros. Television and McG's Wonderland.

This is the second time The Human Target has been developed for television. Rick Springfield starred in the previous version, which lasted for seven episodes on ABC in 1992.

KNIGHT RIDER: "FLY BY KNIGHT"

NBC has released three images from "Fly by Knight," Wednesday's new episode of Knight Rider.

The episode guest-stars Maria Menounos from Access Hollywood and the first Fantastic Four movie.

Here's how NBC describes the episode:

"A plane carrying a 10 year-old federal witness has crashed or so it seems. Mike (Justin Bruening) tries to help the DEA Agent Jessie Renning (Menounos), by informing her that the crash has been faked and that the drug dealer that killed his father has kidnapped the boy. Considering this information for a brief moment, she instead arrests him for hindering her investigation.

"Meanwhile, Sarah (Deanna Russo) tries to make a deal with the Deputy Director of National Intelligence for autonomy for the SSC's future cases. Running out of time, Mike and KITT (voiced by Val Kilmer) need to find the boy before he is forced to tell where the drugs have been hidden and is killed."
