Big Lou inspired me to fight my illness hard and live when I was 15. I always wanted to be big and strong like the Hulk. I started working out and my body began to turn around and adapt to the regiment. I was dying of hepatitis and my body kept rejecting food and nutrients. The doctors wrote me off but keeping Lou in my mind made me literally "turn into the Hulk" and fight the illness with everything I had in me.

[@Orcishihi]

Thanks for this video. Lou Ferrigno is a hero and an example for all others out there, struggling with disabilities day in, day out. Respect!

[@yuljohnson5502]

The incredible hulk is my alltime favorite tv show,GREAT show that was brought to television with so much conviction,so much passion and so much creativity that ive seen in tv before or after. Kenneth johnson brought this major masterpiece to tv in the best way! I just got now through watching the hulk episode" Homecoming". Great episode where Lou showed once again like on all the other episodes that nobody could play the hulk like him!

I like him very humble

[@racerx2348]

I heard his wife of 40 years say the nicest most respectful things about him. Truly great guy.

[@vincenthana541]

One of the best bodybuilders from the golden age of bodybuilding.

[@yuljohnson6838]

Love how Lou explained why the Hulk always ran away when he heard police sirens! I love the Hulk return movies,the incredible Hulk returns,the trail of the Incredible hulk and the death of the Incredible hulk! Lou just like the previous episodes was in prime condition for the return movies! The Incredible hulk is such an amazing show, the stories,3 great lead actors like Bill bixby,Lou ferrigno,Jack colvin and all the guest stars cemented the Incredible hulk into tv gold lore! The Hulk will always be the best show ever and thanks to Lou ferrigno and the rest for making that possible!!!

[@yuljohnson1321]

Lou's performance as the Hulk was so unforgettable just as Bill's was in this magnificent show! Love Lou's menancing performance in the Hulk episode "Dark side"! One of the many best episodes of the show, that terrifying scene of Lou as the Hulk coming up the steps ready to get his hands on one of his advesaries during that famous club scene, wonderful performance!

Ferrigno has always been a class act, a true gentle giant. And he's kept himself in phenemenal shape too even in his 60's. A true inspiration.

[@henrygarcia39]

I love hearing him talk

[@carolebarker2195]

I could listen to him talk all day. It makes me so happy to hear how he overcame adversity through sheer determination. He's inspirational. So humble and there's not an ounce of self-pity in him. He's a role model for everybody and so handsome! I used to love The Hulk tv series in the 80's. Bill Bixby was great, but Lou was the best thing in the show, he was mesmerising. From the uk.

[@yuljohnson2467]

Great interview by Lou, very interesting to hear how he explained how he had to constantly work out each day to be able to stay in shape for the show! He has one of the most amazing success stories!! I can't help but think if he didn't have those bullies in own personal life we would've never got the iconic Incredible Hulk show. Everything happen for a reason and i truly believe his experience with those bullies happened for a reason, which was for Lou to fulfill his destiny to become the marvelous bodybuilder he became in order for him to give the world the most amazing and entertaining show in TV history!!! Thank you so much Lou,i love watching you play the Hulk, nobody could've played him like u did. All the way from the pilot episode to the Death of the Incredible Hulk,an amazing run for this wonderful show that is the best TV show ever!!!

[@wondertoti]

Lou is a legend and anyone who has anything negative to say about him is just jealous, negative, and unhappy in their own life. You're awesome Lou and an inspiration to many. Way to go Ferrigno!! :)

The Incredible Hulk is the first Television show that I watched, It was Incredible! Thanks Lou! Love you brother! 💚💪

Not a slight to the Avengers movies, or the Incredible Hulk movies, but THIS IS THE HULK. Maybe I'm biased, but this is the Hulk.

[@ooOmegaSupremeoo]

No, THE REAL HULK is the comic book Hulk because that's where the character came from. The Avengers' Hulk is one of the most accurate portrayals of the comic book character.

[@chriswade9616]

Well to be fair, Mark Ruffalo, Ed Norton (and Bana…) never actually portrayed the literal Hulk 😛

Yes, your right. Because he is the hulk. Heart, Body and mind. There is no one else who can effectively pull it off. He is the Hulk and the hulk is him. ❤️

6:35-6:54 damn that part ALWAYS stuck with me. He'd get done shooting at 9:00pm. Get all the makeup/face paint off at 10:00pm go straight to the gym (give or take let's say 10:30pm he gets there) gets done at 11:30pm, goes home 12am, goes to bed at 1am, and wakes up again for a 5am day of shooting....How the hell did he manage to workout and maintain his physique with that kind of schedule??

Just the greatest television at the time. Each episode very well acted featuring many famous actors. Compelling great writing and a keen sense of the visual element made it an instant hit. My brother and I never missed an episode growing up and we even loved hating the reporter Jack McGee!

I've always liked and respected Ferrigno. He turned a "handicap" into an asset, making himself a bodybuilding legend and TV icon. It just goes to show like Napoleon Hill said, whatever the mind can conceive and believe, you can achieve.

When i was a kid i love The Incredible Hulk cause he’s my favorite superhero in the marvel comics and its got me introduced to the 2003 film as well as watching the TV series and TV movies on DVD. Lou Ferrigno was one of my heroes portraying the raging beast and voicing the title character in some media, I got a picture with him at Comic Con he’s such a nice chap he is.

[@Steve_Green]

Excellent interview. Looking forward to watching the second part.

[@oliverburke]

I like him. I had a Hulk backback as a little kid in Jamaica and loved the strength. My thinner brothers took to the Spiderman stuff. Then I bought a bodybuilding book of his in the late 80's and would use the photos to practice drawing physiques (and doing pushups). There's a picture in it of Lou really picking up the back of what looks like a tiny Eastern European car (unlike the probably special effects Mercedes shot in this vid) :). Thanks for the influence, Lou!

You may have thought the tv show Hulk was more "realistic", but the cgi Hulk was more closer to the comics.

[@moniquemitchell5092]

@Atypical Lavender. I loved it too. You and I both were scared. Especially when the transformation from David Banner into the hulk. But I watched all the shows. I was so scared of his face and the intensity of his size😐😅🙄 that I actually had nightmares for about 10 years of him coming after me. It was always in my home. And I always hid from him. I know it sounds silly. But I did have them. They eventually went away. Looking back on the reruns and I watched as many as I can on KZbin, I actually get to see that he was a protector & he really was gentle. If you watch some of the shows the way the hulk interacts with animals, children and the gentleness with women. I had nothing to fear in fact. That was so silly, what did I know as a child. However, I would never fear him again. This is how great Lou Ferrigno played this part. With such sensitivity.. So believable. Anyone who experienced this show as a child we were treated to greatness. Classic greatness. And we will never see something so genuine like that again... Unfortunately. The good thing is I'm watching every clip I can find on the internet, and I can't get enough of the show. I'm on a binge now.😉 I'm so glad I found this interview on Lou. It explains and gives the show more clarity and appreciation for the role itself. 😊
