Bodybuilder and The Incredible Hulk actor Lou Ferrigno is among the first to be cast on the upcoming season of Dancing with the Stars, Life and Style reports. While Ferrigno, 57, hasn't signed a contract with the ABC reality show, he said he can't wait to start training for the show.
"I had a good meeting with the producers for Dancing With the Stars, it was really positive, and they loved the idea of having me on the show," he says
The I Love You, Man star is known to be physically fit, in fact, he was training Michael Jackson for his comeback concerts until the singer died recently. But his joining Dancing with the Stars is his first foray into dancing. He first tried out in 2007.
"I've never done that type of dancing before, so I know that I'll have to train hard," he says. "I'm a glutton for punishment, so I'll give it my best shot."
Ferrigno is best known playing Bill Bixby's green and mean alter ego The Hulk in The Incredible Hulk, on top of Pumping Iron, Sinbad of the Seven Seas, Hercules, and most recently in I Love You, Man.
Dancing with the Stars kicks off its new season September 21, with the new batch of contestants set to be announced in the August 17 episode of Good Morning America.

24 frames per second, $20 per frame- $480 per second. Do the Stars people know how much this is going to cost them?

Let's hope that the curse of celebrities getting injured on Dancing with the Stars happens to The Incredible Jerk. :)
Speaking of The Incredible Jerk, he was on an episode of TMZ where the staff made fun of him for the ridiculous prices he charges. ;D
-
Anderson Cooper said that Lou only trained Michael once actually... ::)

Wow, congrats. This douche made the transition from a D to a C-list celebrity because of Michael Jacksons death. :o

Former top bodybuilder and star of the Incredible Hulk Lou Ferrigno is set to be on the upcoming season of Dancing with the Stars on ABC, according to Life & Style.
Although Lou hasn’t signed the contract yet, he can’t wait to begin training for the show.
Lou previously auditioned Dancing with the Stars in 2007.
Here is Lou’s audition video from 2007:
-
Arnold should do it, Devito taught him how to dance in twins, by true lies he'd nailed it, maybe he chould own Louie on that too
-
That's not what the article said. It just said that Louie had a good meeting with the producers. They haven't even made him an offer. This story was probably circulated by Louie's agent to gauge public response. If it generated "buzz" they would use that in an attempt to get Louie a deal.
-
Lou will be charging any American that watches the program $20. Get your wallets ready!
-
oh man. he does anything to be in the spotlight... ffs
-
i wonder what star lou is going to dance with
-
i wonder what star lou is going to dance with

They only make something on the order of $250K for appearing on that show for the season (no matter when they are eliminated) and everyone gets paid the same. The winner gets about $25K more. :-\

LOL...perhaps you should research what Shawn Johnson made last season

*excellent*
;D

Shawn Johnson won "Dancing with the Stars" last night -- but in more important news, she just banked $365,000 doing it. Repeat: THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS.
We got a hold of Shawn's "Dancing" contract a while back, which stated she would bank $125,000 up front, then incremental paychecks that topped off at $50k a week for the last 2 episodes.

Congratulations to Lou! If a football star can do it, so can a bodybuilding star!
Bodybuilding in the mainstream!

I'm pretty sure he isn't in there because of bodybuilding.

You are a little off
-
If enough of us flood ABC's "dancing with the stars" forum(yes they have one) with $20 dollar jokes about Lou from now until its over, I'm thinking that Lou doing this could bring out GEtbig into the mainstream...

and Simon got 35 million dollars for this season of american idol. So 365k isn't alot in that buisness. Maby compared to bb's though lol!

Appear on this and your profile skyrockets more jobs etc more money.
-
Not bad for Lou -still managing to get gigs every now and then.
Of course this is due to his fame as the Hulk rather than as bodybuilder

So basically Bay's guess was pretty accurate.
-
Michael Jackson.
Only song I can think of that is fitting enough for that would be Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' "Mary Jane's last dance" ;D
And I'll be damned - Mary Jane's initials are MJ :o
Not to mention, Lou is petty. I think you're onto something, Show.
