-The TV show 24 - CTU agent Tony Almeida is a Krav instructor: http://www.fox.com/24/season1/profiles.html

-Tom Clancy game and book, Splinter Cell, NSA secret agent and former Navy Seal Sam Fisher uses Krav Maga."For hand-to-hand combat, I exclusively use Krav Maga, an Israeli technique that literally means "contact combat." It's not so much a self-defense martial art as a no-holds-barred system for survival in any situation." (p.10)

Entourage - The hit show on HBO. I forget the episode number but during an episode from last season Ari, Vince's talent agent, makes a sexual innuendo to a woman. The woman replies with something like "Ari, I go to Krav Maga with your wife."
