William Frederick Knight (December 6, 1933 – November 8, 2022), sometimes credited as William Knight, William Frederick, or Frederick Knight, was an American actor who lent his voice to the English dubs of anime and video games. He was often cast in the role of a wise old man, such as in Ghost in the Shell (as Daisuke Aramaki), The Big O (as Gordon Rosewater), Paranoia Agent (as the old man), and Eureka Seven (as Kuzemi, one of the three Sages). He played similar archetypes in live-action roles in television and short films, including I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson and The League of STEAM. He was a recurring actor in sketches on the G4 series Attack of the Show.
