"The Greatest American Hero is re-imagining Steven J. Cannell’s 1981 cult classic, in which the unlikely (super)hero at the center Ralph Hinkley was played by William Katt."

He was only Ralph Hinkley for a few episodes after the show debuted. Right after the assassination attempt on Reagan by John Hinckley, the character's name was changed to Ralph Hanley. In any event, Robert Culp made the show. It would have bombed without him then, and it will do so with the remake.

And then they changed it back in the 2nd season.
