In fact, it sounds like The Hoff wants to bring back the tale of the man and machine with the same sort of mettle that powered the year's grittiest superhero film. And while Hasselhoff has reprised the role in the TV movie Knight Rider 2000 in 1991 and appeared in one episode of a Knight Rider revival series which ran for 18 episodes on NBC from 2008-2009, the actor doesn't appear to be quite ready to park his old pal KITT quite yet. In Knight Rider, Hasselhoff starred as Michael Knight – a crimefighter who took to the streets to battle the bad guys along with artificially intelligent car KITT – in a successful NBC-TV action drama that ran from 1982 to 1986.
David Hasselhoff is hassling director Robert Rodriguez about making a Logan-style Knight Rider film. While many know Hasselhoff as the studly leader of the Baywatch lifeguard crew that had a monstrous run on syndicated TV worldwide throughout the 1990s, the actor, affectionately known as 'The Hoff,' built up a huge fan base long before taking to the sand beaches of Southern California and becoming a rock star in Germany.
