Lou Ferrigno Quotes

• [on Bill Bixby’s battle against prostate cancer]: When I saw him — on the set, he did for Entertainment Tonight, I was horrified when I see how he looked. I mean, he’s actually breaking down into tears in his face, it was like 2 weeks before he died. It was so sad that it took a lot of courage for him to do the interviews, and so sad as to how life had lost him.
• [on his on- and off-screen chemistry with Bill Bixby, who played Dr. Bruce Banner]: You know, a couple of times on the set if I was late, I remember that look he gave me, oh boy! I thought, he would be ‘The Hulk.’
• [Of Bill Bixby]: Bill was a great guy. He was a great mentor, great director, great producer and all the things that were great. Bill had a lot on him, because he loved his son, Christopher. When he lost his son, 2 days later, he came on the set and continued filming, and I knew he did that!
• [regarding then competing series Wonder Woman (1975)] And as for “Wonder Woman” . . . there’s nothing there . . . nothing to show at all but a “beautiful body”, and that’s it. You never get a chance to find out anything about the person at all. What a bore! I can’t understand why that show ran as long as it did.
• [his response (in 1979) to an indication that he shared the spotlight with Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (1977) villain Darth Vader, played by David Prowse, another muscle-bound actor] Anybody could play Darth Vader. Vader is basically just a big guy behind a costume. The character shows no emotion, no nothing! If you really showed the emotional side of The Hulk he could be even hotter than “Star Wars”. Battlestar Galactica (1978) didn’t show any feelings and that’s the big reason why I think it was canceled.
• If I hadn’t lost my hearing, I wouldn’t be where I am now. It forced me to maximize my potential. I had to be better than the average person to succeed. That’s why I chose bodybuilding. If I became a world champion, if I could win admiration from my peers, I could do anything.
• Everyone has his own “little Hulk” inside him.

• Although Lou played “The Hulk” in the TV series, the growls and snarls heard in it aren’t his. They were made by actor Ted Cassidy (Lurch in The Addams Family (1964)) until 1979 (first two seasons). Then, after Cassidy’s death in that year, the Hulk was voiced by actor Charles Napier for the remaining three seasons and the three movies made in later years.

• In October 1981 he was in Egypt, scheduled to be one of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat’s personal guests at a public event. However, at the last minute Sadat canceled his appearance. A few days later Muslim fundamentalists killed Sadat, along with 12 others, at an annual military parade. It was later discovered that Sadat’s killers had originally planned to assassinate him at the event where Ferrigno would have been seated next to him. Ferrigno believes that he would have been killed along with Sadat if Sadat had not canceled his appearance.

In Ang Lee’s 2003 film Hulk (2003) the Hulk is computer-generated, so Lou plays a completely different part – that of a security guard (along with Stan Lee) at the lab where Bruce Banner works. In the 2008 film The Incredible Hulk (2008), he plays a security guard again, this time one who allows Bruce Banner to enter with a pizza — and also, once again, voices the Hulk.
