Why do bodybuilders charge money for autographs??

[Matt C]

Keith - why don't you still pursue Hollywood ventures?

[AllDrugs]

For Lou.

For others, zero to say hello and get an autograph. $10 to get an 8x10 colored picture with an autoraph, etc.  It is fair.

WRONG.

Right here in Knoxville, AMATUERS were charging $20 a pop for an autograph at the Greater Knox Classic in 2006, Ron.  People you know and have PM'd me about before, actually.

Why would you want to know my residuals.  But since I have not done a thing in the industry since 1995 I recieve about $4 a year.  I have not collected a residuals check since 1995.  But, you can simply check with SAG with you SSN# and they will tell you how much total in residuals payments you have that have not been issued.  IN other words, I get something every year because my Dynasty, Knotts Landing and a couple other things still aire to this day.  But the last time I did cash a residual check from Dynasty it was just a couple dollars and not worth all the paperwork they include in the envelope.  My first residual check from them was around $800 or so.  But, when I was doing commercials I was making a lot more (nationals only).  When I moved to Hawaii in 1989 I was getting an average of around $3,000 a month just from the Old El Paso Salsa commercial.  Some of my commericals were buyouts and I got NO residuals.  I worked for scale most of the time.  I was not the star or reoccurring role like Lou is in most of his appearances.  When he is a featured player (especially appearing as Lou Ferrigno) he is NOT getting scale.  Far from it.  He is not getting anywhere near as much as a regular gets but he gets more than scale. 

Unlike what JohnnyVegas says about only the star gets residuals he is so far off it is funny.  Just shows he knows nothing about what he is talking about. It's like me trying to tell him about how a Big Mac is made back in the kitchen where he is the expert.  I don't try to pretend I know his experience.

good post Keith, your honest is appreciated

You're such a fucking bullshit artist it is amazing.

Sorry to shoot down your bullshit yet again, but this is almost too easy.

Yes, I am sure Lou did not have an agent when he signed for the hulk, I mean n one in Hollywood has an agent-man, where does your sorry ass dream this shit up at

The Hulk is not shown ANYWHERE, and hasn't since it was on TV 25 years ago fool. So no residuals there. Nice try Mr. Hollywood.

Lou gets NO royalty checks, but I guess if you go around talking out your ass enough you will actually start believing your own baloney.

Give it a rest son, you're in over your head here.

Son again you show your ignorance.  You really should do some research before you make a fool out of yourself again.  Luckily you hide behind your screename so no one will actually know how stupid you are.  Typical big mouth internet troll.  Give it a rest now, you are boring me.

Junior, your bullshit is old.

I spanked your stupid ass all over this thread, made you look like the fool you are, saying

1- Lou "owns" part of the Hulk-  bullshit
2- The Hulk is in syndication-   bullshit
3- Lou gets $5K for an appearance fee-maybe in your bed

Now go crawl back under the rock you live in. No one is buying your bullshit-but if youw ant to get spanked again let me know.

BTW-when is your deadbeat ass going to pay up on the PDI bet with Beefy?

What's "bullshit" is JohnyVegas thinking and wishing that everyone is broke to make up for his own lack of wealth.  He also thinks that he can find anyone's wealth with just the internet and their legal name

Just to let you know Einstein.  Call Lou Ferrigno Enterprises in Santa Monica.  Bet you don't cause people like you can only talk behind a computer.  Ask them what Lou gets for an appearance.  Talk to Diane.  It is $5,000 to $6,000 an appearance at a BB show or industry related.  He gets up to and more than $10,000 an appearance at other types of events.  He flies only first class.  He is booked usually a couple times a month if not more.  Again, moron you are proven wrong.  WHat I would do if I were you would be just stop.  But since you hide behind your computer with no one knowing who you are and how much shit you are full of I am sure you will come back with some idiotic retort.

You're such a clueless doofus. You must think that people actually believe the bullshit you make up!

Do you do Lou's booking?? NO!!

Do you book his plane flights?? NO!!

Lou gets $10K for an appearance?? Oh brother  First dipshit says it is $5K, then dipshit says it is  $5-6K, now dipshit says it is $10K

"Stalks"....?  LMAO!

They were charging for autographs in their hometown as AMATUERS.  Even Ron says that is low-rent as it gets.

I still find it interetsing how many people tote water for them that don't know them.  Not saying they are bad people but they were charging for autographs when Ron says that's not the industry norm....

Really?  Peter gave me a free autographed 8X10 for my website when I met him at the Mr. Olympia.  I will scan it and post it here and on my website.

[AllDrugs]

Didn't do it for his HOMETOWN people.

Fact. 

I'm just saying...

In addition to the Hulk Tv series, didnt Lou also star in 3 Hulk movies? He also did some hercules movies.  $2o seems standard for most "Hollywood" autographs (not just the photos they sell)no matter how minor their role was. Trek convention have heaps of actors who appear once or twice  who charge the same as regulars. I remember a Sci-Fi convention where Ray Park (Darth maul) was charging $20 per signature. If you had three items that you wanted him to sign you'd have to pay $60. He was criticised by the brtish press for that. He then ran damage control by stating that his agent was to blame and that he never charged kids.  

Does Lou charge $20 at conventions only or will he attempt to charge you if you run into him on the street and ask him to sign something?

Lou made "Hercules" in 1983, and if you ever saw it you would die from laughter-I know because I wasted good money to see it at the movies, and it was so BAD we were busting out of our seats laughing at how pathetic it was.

Seriously, it was worse than Arnolds first movie "Hercules in New York", and that is bad.

Please rent Lou's Hercules movie, sit back and get ready to wipe tears from your eyes, it is a laugh fest!

You can probably watch it on youtube nowadays..not that i'd bother. I remember Lou playing a retarded war vet in movie called Cage (or something similar). Apparently it was popular enough to go for a sequel.

So does Lou charge for an autograph outside conventions?

Yep, he has to, he has no regular source of income. He has no regular job, he has no skills or trade. So charging 8 year olds $20 for an autograph is the only way he pays the bills.

He was private training people in West LA a year or two back, but I don't even think that worked out for him.

Lou has some very serious issues. He is generally not well liked in the BBing community, and he has brought that on himself.

Bumped for response...

I'd like to know why this was done here in Knoxville (at least one year, maybe  more) when Ron says it's NOT COMMON PRACTICE at ALL by bodybuilders, especially amatuers.  I think the fans deserve a response.  People gotta make a living but that just seems to be not right at all to do that to your hometown folk when Ron says hardly anyone in the industry does that...

Send Onlyme a PM, he seems to know everything there is to know about autographs, being a "star", the BBing world-even though he has never been a BBer, and well, just everything.

I am sure "Mr. Know It All" ...err...Onlyme, will be on soon to give us all the 411
