Louis Jude Ferrigno was born on November 9, 1951 in Brooklyn, New York. He is an American bodybuilder and actor.

He played the raging green monster The Incredible Hulk on the TV show of the same name. He got the part thanks to his glossy credentials as a bodybuilder: Ferrigno was named Mr. Universe in 1973 and again in 1974. Ferrigno appeared as himself in the 1977 bodybuilding documentary Pumping Iron.

The next year he began his five-season run as The Hulk (1978-82), paired with Bill Bixby as The Hulk's mild-mannered alter ego, David Banner. After The Incredible Hulk ended, Ferrigno went on to other musclebound roles, including Hercules in Hercules (1983) and Sinbad in Sinbad of the Seven Seas (1989).

His last roles include TV Episode "Reno 911!" (2004) and Stand Up with HAS (2007).
