I haven't seen Lou Ferrigno in a long time, especially with his shirt off. I know he is in his early 50s, only a few years younger than Arnold Schwarzenegger. Does anyone know if Lou has maintained his massive size and definition that he had during the Hulk? I know that Arnold has gradually went down in muscularity over the years. I recently saw a picture of him taken on the beach before he trained for Terminator 3. Woooooow! I didn't know he had went down so much. However, I know that's normal. I used to follow bodybuilding and I know that when one is in competition they work out for hours every day and have a multitude of exercises for the same muscle group. So when you no longer compete, ther's no use to keep that up. So, does anyone know about Lou?

He had a cameo in the Hulk movie with Stan Lee and he looked pretty good. He was a security guard and his arms looked like they were going to bust out of the shirt. Back in the late 90's I think, he was training again for the Mr Olympia Masters. He was up around 320lbs at one point. Huge!!! I think he only placed no higher than 10th. I could be wrong on that one though.

From his IMDb mini-biography:

Internationally famous and well respected bodybuilder / actor who first appeared on TV screens in 1977 as the muscle bound Incredible Hulk, the alter ego of meek scientist David Banner. Louis Ferrigno was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1952 and as a child suffered from an ear infection causing him partial hearing loss. Undeterred by what some may have perceived as a disadvantage, Lou threw himself into sports (predominantly weight lifting & body building) and at the age of 21 he won his first Mr Universe title, and then for good measure, he came back and won it again the following year!

Lou also played professional football in the Canadian Football League, before coming to the attention of producer Kenneth Johnson who was seeking just the right person to portray onscreen the comic book super hero, The Incredible Hulk. With his 6' 5" and 285 lb. frame, Lou was the biggest professional bodybuilder of the time, and had recently starred in the must see sports documentary Pumping Iron (1977) about the 1975 Mr Olympia contest in South Africa. He successfully auditioned for the part of the green skinned goliath, and it is the role with which he is most closely identified.

The Hulk was a huge ratings success, and spawned several telemovies after the initial TV series completed its run. Lou continued to remain busy in films and TV with appearances often centred around his remarkable physique....these included key roles in Hercules (1983), _Cage (1989)_ , Sinbad of the Seven Seas (1989) and Frogtown II (1993). Lou has additionally guest-starred on several TV shows including "The Fall Guy" and "Mike Hammer" and a recurring role on "King of Queens". In 1997, Lou featured as himself in the dynamic documentary about his sensational return to professional bodybuilding at age 43, Stand Tall (1997). The doco detailed how he returned to compete in the Masters category of the Mr Olympia contest against several familiar bodybuilding foes. In more recent years, he has appeared in several cinematic releases including The Misery Brothers (1995), Ping! (2000), From Heaven to Hell (2002) and a cameo as a security guard in the big budget remake of Hulk (2003).

Big Lou is also a successful author with two books detailing his bodybuilding knowledge, and his life behind the scenes playing the Incredible Hulk on TV in the 1970s, plus he has a popular website frequented by his many fans worldwide.
