  1. It was, indeed. After shooting most of the pilot, the producers decided that Richard Kiel wasn't massive enough. Ahnold had been ruled out as too short. Hence, Ferrigno. To maintain the mystique, Bixby made sure that he was never close to Ferrigno when the latter was in Hulk mode. Even tabloid at the time couldn't get a photo of the two together. As an aside, Bixby never let his young son watch the show, because he didn't want the boy to think that he might really turn into a green monster. The "Javert"-like character was the reporter, "Jack McGee" (played by Jack Colvin). When the producers wanted to write him out of the show, Bixby and Ferrigno stood up for him. George
  2. Two actors play the same role, one with makeup, the other without. They were careful never to be photographed together. The show's three main characters were loosely derived from Doctor Jekyll/Mr. Hyde, the Frankenstein Monster, and Inspector Javert. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Richard Kiel were considered for the title role, but were determined to be too small. :lol: Richard Kiel actually filmed part of the pilot episode, and can be seen by the eagle-eyed in one of his scenes which wasn't re-shot. George
  3. Hal Holbrook Jason Robards Kris Kristofferson Gregory Peck Walter Huston Daniel Day-Lewis George
  4. I think I know the first and last (which would make a complete puzzle on their own), but the Arabia stuff is throwing me. George
  5. The others you could see are Tim Matheson and Kenneth Mars. The one you couldn't see is Joe Don Baker. Moving on... Evita Antonio Banderas Original Sin George
