Daniel Radcliffe has shared a little bit about himself with fans, creating awareness of a rather common neurological condition.

Radcliffe, the star of the Harry Potter movie franchise, says he suffers from dyspraxia, a condition that among other things makes it difficult for him to tie his own shoes.

But the actor didn't let the condition defeat him. Instead, it's what helped him become an actor. Dyspraxia made it difficult for him to excel at school, and he was able to use drama and acting as an outlet. [Daily Mail]

Emmy nominee Michael Angeli who is up for a golden statue for his "Battlestar Galactica" episode "Six of One," says that while there is a lot of science research on the hit SciFi Channel show, his research usually takes a different turn, like from classical literature, and yes, Westerns.

"Those have struggles of obsession, survival and possession, which we feel is what the show is really about," Angeli said. "If we go to the Bible, a Western or the transcripts of the trial for Saddam Hussein -- which we did at the end of Season 3 -- we can look for cultural differences, questions of race, gender, class, conspicuous consumption and sex.

"We like to touch on the idea of what it means to be human." [Variety]

NBC is hoping that NASCAR fans will want to tune in to "Knight Rider" when it premieres Sept. 24.

The network has spent some sponsorship dollars with Ford Motor Co. and Yates Racing that will specially paint the No. 28 Ford of driver Travis Kvapil in a "Knight Rider" theme to promote the series Aug. 23 at Bristol Motor Speedway.

"This event exemplifies the adrenaline and action the 'Knight Rider' series will deliver," said John Miller, chief marketing officer at NBC Universal Television Group. [The Hollywood Reporter]
