Lou Ferrigno® is keeping very busy in 2006. Most notably,
in February of this year, Lou completed an extensive physical
and academic training program and became a "Reserve
Deputy" for the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department.
At the induction ceremony, Los Angeles Sheriff Lee Baca
introduced Lou who spoke publicly before a packed house
of other Deputy Sheriffs, their families, friends and press
who were present to witness the formal "white glove"
event.
Lou also continues his Recurring Guest Star role on King
of Queens, now going into its 9th Season,
airing Monday nights at 8:00 P.M. on CBS.
Just before the close of 2005, Lou headed east to shoot
two Longhorn Steakhouse commercials, one
of which was rated as the No. 3 top commercial of the year
by "Shoot Magazine."
Also in the past year Lou Guest Starred on the ABC sitcom
My Wife and Kids, became the
spokesman for the Sit Up-Sit Down Home Gym,
and he was the lead in the debut video for the band "Edgewater"
for MTV.
In 2004, Lou Ferrigno® has appeared in the blockbuster hit
feature film Hulk, directed by
Ang Lee, also provides the voice for the UPN animated series
The Incredible Hulk, with a cast
that includes Peter Strauss, Mark Hamill, Kathy Ireland,
and Richard Moll.
In addition to his film and television career, Lou recently
released his autobiography, "My Incredible
Life as the Hulk," which included forwards
by both Stan Lee and Ang Lee.
Lou was only 21 when he won his first Mr. Universe
title, a Guinness Book record that stands to this
day. More incredible, at age 22 he won again - and to this
day remains the only person to win consecutive titles! Lou
carried the world of bodybuilding to new heights and himself
to superstardom with the film documentary, Pumping
Iron, which chronicled the fabled exploits
of the youngest and only person to ever become Mr.
Universe twice in a row! Exploding onto the
film scene, with his place as a body building legend secured,
Lou set out to do the same thing in film and television.
In less than a year after Pumping Iron,
Lou was again larger than life and created a new cult legend
as the title character of the hit show The Incredible
Hulk. The same hard work that crafted his
six foot five inch, two hundred eighty five pound frame
into a piece of human art, define him as an actor with the
uncanny ability to assume characters of mythic proportions
that carry a primal humanity.
Undoubtedly the discipline and resiliency that have made
Lou into a bodybuilding icon lend themselves to his willingness
to train as a serious theatrical actor. Lou immersed himself
in the actor's theatrical experience with the help of his
acting mentors, Milton Katselas, Howard Fine, and Hulk
co-star Bill Bixby. The results were great theatrical notices
in Texas, Canada, and Chicago (at Drury Lane Theater), for
his starring role in "Arsenic and Old Lace,"
and starring roles in ambitious stage presentations of "Requiem
for a Heavyweight" and "Of Mice
and Men" - shows that toured throughout the
U.S. and Canada. Lou's passionate pursuit of excellence
has brought this Brooklyn-born actor more than fame and
fortune; it has brought him the joy of fulfilling his life-long
dreams.
Remaining true to his host of fans from the bodybuilding
world, Lou starred in the sequel to Pumping
Iron. And, Stand Tall
is a film that documents Lou's 1994 comeback in the Masters
Olympia title and his return to bodybuilding
after a seventeen year retirement. Lou has starred in over
twenty feature films including Cage
and Cage II, All's
Fair, Seven Magnificent Gladiators,
and Godson. In two unforgettable
performances in Hercules and The
Adventures of Hercules, Lou lived a life-long
dream by playing the legendary Greek hero.
All this led to an amazingly successful personal training
business that includes such star clientele as Mickey Rourke,
Michael Jackson, and Chuck Norris, and led him to author
the book "Lou Ferrigno's Guide to Personal
Power, Bodybuilding and Fitness for Everyone."
Lou continues his regular study of acting and he works
out daily, all with the same passion and vigor that made
him a household name and established him as one of the most
sought-after entertainers in the business.
