Tim DeKay (from White Collar) would be a good Maxwell, if you were to go younger.
Stumbling upon the theme song on YouTube helped inspire me to try the series in the first place. As I stated in the opening post, while I was alive when the show was on, I was awfully young and if I ever saw it during local syndication, it didn't stick. It was a top 40 hit in 1981, even peaking at #2 during late summer that year. Least according to Wikipedia. It is indeed epic.
The theme song needs a more rocking update, preferably by a band like CREED or Nickelback or insert your favorite band.t:
That's not a bad pick. Although I have to be honest, Bruce Campbell seems like genius casting to me.
The new Greatest American Hero will chronicle inner-city teacher Isaacs adventures after his discovery of a superhero suit that gives him superhuman abilities. Unfortunately for Isaac, he hates wearing the suit and has to learn how to use its powers by trial and error because he quickly misplaces the suits instructions. He also has to deal with a government handler who has very different objectives than him and struggles as to whether he should use his newfound gifts to help others or just himself.
