Hollywood rumblings have AMC alums Josh Duhamel (ex-Leo DuPres, pictured right in a promo photo from 2000) and Justin Bruening (ex-Jamie Martin) teaming up for a Las Vegas/Knight Rider crossover this fall. TVGuide.com reports Executive Producer Gary Scott Thompson wants to give Las Vegas fans closure after they were robbed of a proper series finale because of the 2008 Writer's Guild of America Strike.Duhamel originated the role of Leo from 1999-2002. Leo is missing and presumed dead after falling off Miller's Fall, much like Hannah Nichols (Stacy Haiduk). Duhamel gained instant success in Hollywood with 2003's Dating Tad Hamilton, and 2007's Transformers.
Bruening took over the role of Jamie in 2003, when he took frontburner status in a love triangle with onscreen brother Jacob Young (JR Chandler) and real life wife Alexa Havins (Babe Carey). Havins and Bruening left All My Children upon the completion of their first contract in 2007. He was cast as the son of Michael Knight in the new NBC series Knight Rider, which has been picked up for the fall season.These two stars never worked together onscreen, but have very many similarities. Both former models spent many a show shirtless, or wearing even less.
Leo was known for his tight leather pants, a reference Duhamel would make in many of his interviews about his time in the Valley.
