David Hasselhoff wants to resurrect 'Knight Rider' with Simon Cowell voicing the show's iconic talking car.

The actor-and-singer wants to make a film of the 80s TV series and he wants his crime-fighting character Michael Knight's super-powered car KITT, which could speak, to be voiced by 'The X Factor' star.

David Hasselhoff's dad calls him Michael after his 'Knight Rider' character.

The 'Britain's Got Talent' judge is so well-known for playing crime-fighter Michael Knight in the 80s TV series - which featured David driving a super-powered talking car - that people still call him by the name of the show's protagonist, including his own father Joe.

The modified black 1982 Pontiac Trans Am vehicle - made famous in the hit'80s TV show starring David Hasselhoff as Michael Knight - is available to buy for $150,000 from a California dealership.

The "Pirates of the Caribbean" actor was approached by David Hasselhoff to play the son of Michael Knight, the character he made famous in the original 80s TV show, in the upcoming remake, but ultimately refused.

The former 'Baywatch' star - who is in London filming an advertising campaign - severed a tendon in his hand and had to be rushed to St Thomas' Hospital by ambulance.
