Lou Ferrigno has taken retirement from bodybuilding, but he will always be a legend. Best known for his role as Hulk, Lou Ferrigno has also acted in several movies. In an interview in 2017, Lou Ferrigno openly spoke about his role as Hulk. 

Lou Ferrigno has majorly played roles, which require strong, muscular heroes with good physiques. Hercules, The Misery Brothers, and Sindbad of the Seven Seas are some of the movies where Lou Ferrigno has played important parts. Lou has also acted in various T.V series such as The Fall Guy, Trauma Center, and The King of Queens.

During another interview with Arnie, the 71-year-old actor gave an epic reaction on the Ad-Hawk show from where he was fired from. He also spoke about his huge legacy and why it was important. 

Lou Ferrigno Frankly Reveals His thoughts 

In his interview with Arnie, Lou spoke about the use of Computer-generated imagery (CGI) in the Ad-Hawk episode which was earlier played by him as the human hawk. “You can’t compare the human hawk with CGI,” Lou Ferrigno spoke. 

Ferrigno also held nothing back about his difficult journey. “I had to wake and work 12 to 14 hours a day sometimes and take off,” Ferrigno said. He also made a revelation that he spent most of his life in a motor home. A motor home is a large transport vehicle that is made for living. This shows that success has not been easy for  Ferrigno. 

Lou also made a surprising statement. “If my show was not successful, you would not see the superheroes today.” This statement holds weight because the success of The Incredible Hulk series encouraged other filmmakers to make more TV series and movies with superheroes. However, this statement cannot be entirely taken at face value as there were serials with superheroes before Hulk, such as the Batman serial in the 1940s.
