Line 4:
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: [[Tim Curry]] as Gabriel in the first and third installments. Also [[Star Trek: The Next Generation|Michael Dorn]] as Dr. John, and [[Mark Hamill]] as Mosely! Iconic, veteran voice actors [[Jeff Bennett]] and [[Jim Cummings]] also had minor roles.
** Hell, just check out [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109865/fullcredits#cast the imdb page], and prepare to have your mind ''blown''.
* [[The Other Darrin]]: Dean Erickson replaces Tim Curry as Gabriel in ''The Beast Within''. Curry returned for the
* [[Playing Against Type]]: ''[[Tim Curry|Tim]] [[Precision F-Strike|fucking]] [[Tim Curry|Curry]]'' is the hero?
* [[Series Hiatus]]: Despite the story for the fourth installment being written in time for teasers to be included in ''Gabriel Knight 3: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned'', poor sales and a lukewarm reception led to a lack of funding that meant there hasn't been a new ''Gabriel Knight'' game since 1999. However, Jane Jensen has never stopped expressing her interest in continuing the series when and if she's able to, and with the series' increasing [[Cult Classic]] status and the moderate surge in interest generated by the 20th anniversary in 2013-14, there's hope yet.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: Each game in the series had story or gameplay elements that never made it into the final product:
** ''Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers'' was originally designed with a playable segment as Gunter Ritter in Colonial America.
** ''The Beast Within'' was likewise planned to have a playable segment as King Ludwig. In the finished game, said segment instead appears as a psychic dream of Gabriel's, as a cutscene only.
** The motorcycle in ''Gabriel Knight 3: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned'' was supposed to be driven in a first person perspective. An arcade-style sequence where Gabriel escapes the Night Visitors, who pursue him as swarms of bats, was also planned, but eventually scrapped.
** Accessing SIDNEY in ''Gabriel Knight 3: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned'' gives you a lot of seemingly irrelevant information about hauntings in Scotland, which [[Word of God]] has confirmed was intended as a teaser for the fourth game. After it became apparent that ''Gabriel Knight 4'' wasn't going to get funding, Jensen apparently briefly considered turning her material into a novel. Needless to say, nearly twenty years on, neither a game nor a novel has appeared yet, and though ''Gabriel Knight 4'' is still officially on Jane Jensen's to-do list, there's no telling when or if it'll happen at this point.
