The guy was fucking gold in "The Doors"...

  Agreed. Roger Ebert was right when he said that Kilmer's role was less a case of acting than it was a case of possession.

Wadda madda, mawy ??
You no like to hear the truth about the 'IFBB' - you forget guys like 'VL' & me have been around for years.
There is one of your brothers, Eddy Abbew, look at his condition - he was not that far out when we chatted in 05, yet he could not be arsed to compete, cause the pro BB'ing game is for chumps (unless you are Coleman/cuttler).
I a m 38, I know all the shit that goes on at the traveling circus that is the 'IFBB'.
How many 'IFBB' athletes habe you had honest candid conversations with about what goes on there ??
You are still a puppy, whn eyou can come on a real hunt with us Wolves,you might see.
One day mawy, one day  :-*


I never posted that. You= extreme lame. How on earth do you modify a quote and then respond to it. Are you high..like seriously

Lou Ferrigno has a point, and I do agree with him.... except for a few instances.

He says the parents sent the kids to get the autographs.  I don't beleive that.  These kids are with their parents and they see Lou as the Hulk, and they want a picture with him.  I am not talking about a teenager, or an adult but a little kid, who is excited to see him.  I can't even imagine Brock Lesner, Frank Mir, and many others doing that.

There is a point of money to be made, but also a point of courtesy.    Crushing a 6 or 7 year old by demanding money from them just because they met someone on tv is wrong.  Take the damn picture with a little kid, it is not going to hurt selling pictures to others. They are not getting an autograph here either.

Yes, I have been to a myriad of conventions and all, but these guys are there at tables specifically to sell autographs with there pictures. That is know well in advance, and they are there for select hours, specifically for that purposes. And I have seen people wait in lines, and get a picture with them, and not get an autographed picture either.  I have also met a number of them around various conventions who gladly let people take their picture too.

Yes, it is a business, I agree with that.  But in every business, you need to have the correct image and advertising too. 

 

and in every business you are going to have to give a couple freebies away in the spirit of goodwill, Lou doesn't seem to grasp this concept

Lou's main business/income is selling his pics, so his acting and personal training career make him less money, if so that is pretty sad.
