As long as we're here, how about a quick spoiler for the Hulk 2 movie ...

...or Richard Kiel?

Did you know that Kiel was originally tapped to be the Hulk in the 70's series?? Here is part of a interview with Lou Ferringo about what happened and also a pic of Kiel in the Hulk makeup.

"They got Richard Kiel to play the Hulk," says Ferrigno. "He got the part. Then after a week-and-a-half of shooting, a director came on the set with his son. The boy said, 'Daddy, that's not the Hulk.' The director said, 'What do you mean? Look at him, he's seven feet tall.' But the kid said, 'No, he's not big like in the comics - the way the Hulk should look.'

"So, they panicked. They decided to replace Kiel and began searching everywhere for someone who was very proportioned -- the biggest and most developed person they could find. They begged me to come down for a screen test. I said, 'OK, I'll give it a shot.' I went out with the makeup on, and the next day, I was working -- 80 hours a week
