As a companion piece to my Bill Bixby tribute, I thought it appropriate to pay homage to the other person that made
The Incredible Hulk TV show one of my favorites: the man behind the beast himself, Lou Ferrigno. Notable not only for his physique, but also for his amazing ability to function so well with so little hearing, Lou has had a successful career and life.
Here is a quick clip of him working out from the famous 1977 bodybuilding documentary
Pumping Iron.

ReplyDeleteKars, I'm sorry to hear of your disappointment in the new film. I haven't seen it yet, but I still hope to.

Stuff blows up real good and Jolie flashes her rump, but that is hardly enough.
