Meeting Lou Ferrigno<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lou Ferrigno appeared at Atlanta&#8217;s DragonCon sci-fi convention in the late 1990s, and I got in the autograph picture line. After seeing dozens of fans talk about the&nbsp;<em>Hulk&nbsp;<\/em>TV show with him,&nbsp;I decided to talk about something no one else did: his voice acting as Hulk on the 1996 cartoon. Some advice: Don&#8217;t be the one guy a celebrity remembers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the line drew closer, I plotted my message in my head: &#8220;It&#8217;s good the cartoon makers asked you to do the voice of the Hulk.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what came out of my mouth, to Lou Ferrigno&#8217;s face, &nbsp;was &#8220;I&#8217;m glad they asked you, because they must have said,&nbsp;<em>&#8220;What could Lou Ferrigno be doing?&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Time stood still. I realized what I said. He realized what I said. He said &#8220;Thank you for enjoying the show,&#8221; and we shook hands. He squeezed my hand, as if to say, &#8220;I could rip this arm right off.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a great moment in Hulk history because I survived.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2<strong>.
