I like the other suggestions, but I'm not so sure about Welling. Michael Knight is a charming action hero bickering with a stuffy AI. It's a part that requires both a comedic timing and a certain cool, rebellious swagger. You know, as seen on the likes of Colin Farrell or Jensen Ackles. I haven't really seen Tom Welling do that kind of role.

Guess I never really looked at it from that angle, I was thinking more in terms of physicality and appeal - Welling is tall, handsome, charming in his own way and has an inherent decency which comes across. He kinda reminds me of a young Hasselhoff. And the odd time he played evil Clark on Smallville rather than his normal innocent farmboy self, he did come across as having a bit of swagger and so on.
 
I’m all for a Knight Rider reboot but a big fat no to Welling. I don’t think he really acts anymore, does he? I know he had that Crisis cameo but he’s pretty much out of the game now. Though I suppose if he grew out his hair and they gave him a Hasselhoff perm-mullet, I’d give him a chance lol.
 
I think Dominic Cooper might make a good Michael Knight.
