He won the Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Younger Actor twice in 19, and won the Supporting Actor trophy in 2001. Knight has won three Daytime Emmys for his portrayal of Tad Martin. Under secrecy, Knight returned for the first-season finale of Prospect Park's version of All My Children on September 2, 2013. His relationship with Dixie Cooney made them a favorite of fans, reaching supercouple status. He is perhaps the best male friend to Erica Kane.
