Title: Rumors about Lou during the Hulk tv show
Post by: TechnoViking on August 19, 2009, 10:30:45 PM
Is it true that Lou was the reason that they would always go over budget because he could never hear them say "ACTION"? That rumor has been floating around for awhile and I just thought it was a joke, however it does make sense...I also heard that Lou's nickname was Lee Majors(6million dollar man) because he always went over budget for not hearing or understanding WTF was going on...I'm sure its just rumors but I'm sure someone knows the truth... :-\


Come on guys Discuss !!!

I was told that they had an assistant who visually gave him his cue to begin.

He had the most complicated make-up/costuming on the show,  they had to deal with that more than anything.

Bill Bixby was always putting saran wrap over Lou's toilet.  Lou never figured out that he should stop pissing.  The cleaning bills were astronomical.

Name two ex BB's who were Lou's stunt doubles in the show.  One of them was also the guy who at the beginning of the show had the shirt rip on him when he was green

The most daunting task, however, was finding someone to play the Hulk. Arnold Schwarzenegger auditioned, but was rejected due to his inadequate height (according to Johnson in his commentary on a DVD release). Actor Richard Kiel was hired for the role, and production commenced on the pilot movie. However, during filming, Kenneth Johnson's own son pointed out that Kiel's tall-but-under-developed physique did not resemble the Hulk's at all. Soon, Kiel was replaced with professional bodybuilder Lou Ferrigno, although a very brief shot of Kiel (as the Hulk) remained in the pilot (according to Johnson, in his DVD commentary). According to an interview at Den of geek, Kiel, who sees properly out of only one eye, also reacted badly to the contact lenses used for the role, and found the green makeup difficult to remove, so he did not mind losing the part.

no complete bullshit... they used cue cards and what not for him when he couldnt hear at times. Hes not 100% deaf.. hes 85% now and was less back then. But today hes got like 20k electronic aids that really do make him hear extremely well except in very loud crowded areas, he has trouble with interference.  Hes been a family friend for 10 years and i have worked many booths with him, weider booth, europa booths, comic con booths..etc.  He gets a wrath of shit from everyone because alot of times he cant hear and hes got alot of people in line at times and just trying to make his money.  He only gets his own pic money, he doesnt get paid to be there. He wants it that way but he also has to pay certain places a booth fee if he doesnt have a hookup like europa or weider who let him for the people he draws in.

I have no idea why i just answered you honestly and  bothered at all lol... i should know better on this waste of a board

shit was literally made from pancake batter and shit.. it was aweful to wear and hard to breath at times while it hardend.  The wig itched like crazy, he was always powdered left an right to keep sweat from ruining it.  If you look at the poster he sells where its the hulk in the desert with the pyramids or something behind him, he really was in the desert and it was so hot they made custom green type sock/shoe for protection... you can just make it out on poster

I have seen an interview where Lou said Arnold had no interest in the role, Arnold was actually approached but he pointed them in Lou's direction!
Arnold also said he didnt want to be stuck in a series (had bigger ideas) and run around with green paint on

It's kinda ridiculous idea that Arnold would audition for something like that...

yep, coz it didnt happen.
Lou also said that Arnolds physique was too complete and refined like a thoroughbred horse, whereas his was more raw a look the producers felt would be better for the role anyway.
