Funny thing is, even though he said he had no problems with me...we have yet to speak a word to each other since I got the role to play him, over him...
His issue, not mine.
Chick,
Are you sure Lou's issue isn't that you didn't do him justice in the See Arnold Run movie? Lou was 6'5" tall and 270 cut pounds during 'Pumping Iron' and you are 6' tall and 260 in contest condition. Roland Kickinger, playing Arnold, is about 6'4" tall, meaning that in the movie, unlike reality, Arnold is taller than Lou. I think you are a great bodybuilder, Chick, and are up with the best when you are in condition, but if I remember the movie, you were extremely soft and almost pudgy in the movie. I'm sure Lou would have prefered to have someone that was much taller than Roland and who presented a cut package in the movie to made him look better. (Remember, Lou already holds a grudge at the way he was portrayed in Pumping Iron - Young, serious bodybuilder who is controlled by his Dad; he probably didn't like dredging up those bad memories.)
