Welcome to Sydney Online! Your first fansite dedicated to the lovely and promising actress Sydney Tamiia Poitier. Weeks of hard wark has gone into the construction of this website and hope it has paid off for you, the visitor!

You may know Sydney from her breakout role in last year’s Death Proof. She was hand picked by Quentin Tarantino to play the character Jungle Julia and she was one of the most original and fun female characters in a long time! Sydney has also been on the television series Veronica Mars and Joan of Arcadia, up next for Ms. Poitier is the TV Movie and re-invisioning of the classic 80s series Knight Rider where she plays Carrie Rivai. The movie airs on NBC on February 17th and we will be here to cover it and Sydney’s bright future every step of the way!

NBC is almost ready to roll out a new Knight Rider two-hour TV movie/backdoor pilot in less than two weeks. Things have run pretty smoothly, except for when Justin Bruening, who plays Mike Traceur (estranged son of Michael Knight), hurt his knee. But it looks like there was at least one other bump for the production, according to SciFi Wire.

Will Arnett was hired to be the voice of K.I.T.T. on the movie, but then a contractual conflict of interest reared its ugly head. Arnett has done voiceover work for General Motors for almost a decade. Oops, that’s a problem considering the new K.I.T.T. is a black 550 HP Ford Shelby GT500KR Mustang and Ford is actually taking a very active role in the marketing of the telefilm.
