The Actor who who played the original "Hulk" has signed on to voice the character in the movie, reports
Variety. Fans who have only seen the TV series have only seen a mute Hulk, but in the comic books, Hulk actually speaks.
And it turns out his voice sounds exactly like Lou Ferrigno.
Producer Gale Ann Hurd says Ferrigno was a last-minute addition to a panel on the movie at New York's Comic-Con. Director Leterrier invited him to "audition" onstage. "Lou did this amazing, 'Hulk smash!' " says Hurd. "And (director Louis Leterrier) said, 'Come in, we'll record you next week.' Everybody thought it was either a staged event or we wouldn't really do it. But the next week Lou came in in L.A. and his voice is the voice of the Hulk."
As for anyone wondering what Ferrigno's life was all about since the Hulk series, he continued acting in cameos in shows such as The King of Queens, he continued to compete as a professional bodybuilder, and Ferrigno once used his celebrity status to make calls for
Hollywood is Calling, a company which allows people to have a celebrity call them on a special occasion, such as a birthday. He also wrote two books and sells fitness equipment.
