Lee Majors has admitted that he would like to star in an updated version of The Six Million Dollar Man.

The actor originally played cyborg astronaut Steve Austin on the ABC sci-fi drama from 1974 to 1978.

Asked if he objected to a proposed remake, he told USA Today: "Not at all, as long as I'm in it."

Majors revealed that he would be keen to star in a new series as Austin's mentor Oscar Goldman, the role played by Richard Anderson in the original.

"You know what, give me the Oscar Goldman part," he said. "Let me send the kid out on all those missions. That was a piece of cake for him!"

NBC previously produced a remake of spinoff series The Bionic Woman in 2007, but the show was axed after just 8 episodes. At the time, Majors criticised the show for being "too dark" and "too edgy".

The original Six Million Dollar Man ended in 1978, but returned for three television movies between 1987 and 1994.
