Orlando Bloom was asked by David Hasselhoff if he was interested in playing the son of Hasselhoff's famed Michael Knight in the upcoming film version of Knight Rider. "I was approached by David in Los Angeles," Bloom said recently. "He'd heard I was a big fan of the old show and said, 'We're doing a movie version and I'd love you to play my son in it.' I replied, 'Er, well, that sounds great but you'd need to speak to my manager about it.' I used to watch Knight Rider when I was eight but I didn't like it more than any other series. My favorites were The Fall Guy and The A-Team."source
