MORE INFO ON BILL BIXBY:  The son of a sales clerk and a department store owner, Bill Bixby was the sixth-generation Californian born as Wilfred Bailey Bixby, on January 22, 1934, in San Francisco, California. An only child growing up in the 1940s and 1950s, he attended schools in the same area, took ballroom dance lessons, before attending Lowell High School, where he excelled in drama. After his graduation from high school, he attended San Francisco City College, where he majored in drama. He transferred to the University of California-Berkeley, where he majored in the pre-law program, but never stopped falling in love with his interest in acting. After almost graduating, he left his native San Francisco, to travel to Los Angeles, where he became a lifeguard and a bellhop. Two years later, in 1959, two executives noticed him and hired him immediately for commercial work and modeling, in Detroit, Michigan. At the same time, he auditioned for theatre roles. He joined the Detroit Civic Theatre Company and made his professional stage
debut
in the musical, "The Boy Friend". Long after his trip to Michigan, he continued doing commercial work and made numerous guest appearances on popular TV sitcoms. He made his TV
debut
in an episode of
"The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis"
(1959). He also did many other roles, most notably as "Charles Raymond" in
"The Joey Bishop Show"
(1961). After many guest and recurring roles, he landed a co-starring role opposite
Ray Walston
in
"My Favorite Martian"
(1963), in which he portrayed a newspaper reporter playing host to a visitor from another planet. After the first season, it became a hit and Bixby became a household name to millions of fans who liked the show. The show was going well until its cancellation in 1966, which left Bixby in the dark, for the time being. However, he finally got the chance to go onto the big screen. The first of the four post-"Martian" 60s movies he played in was the Western,
Ride Beyond Vengeance
(1966). The following year, he played "Dick Bender" in
Doctor, You've Got to Be Kidding!
(1967) and, soon after, he was approached by
Elvis Presley
to appear in both
Clambake
(1967), and
Speedway
(1968). Afterwards, he once again returned to series television, this time playing widowed father, "Tom Corbett", on
"The Courtship of Eddie's Father"
(1969), based on the popular 1963 movie. After its first season, it became a much bigger hit than his first show and Bixby, heretofore one of Hollywod's most confirmed bachelors, changed his views on marriage and family, subsequently taking actress
Brenda Benet
as his bride and fathering a son. He also tried his hand at directing an episode of the series, called "Gifts Are For Giving", about Norman's highly treasured gift. After completing its second season, Bixby received an Emmy nomination for Lead Actor in a Comedy Series, but didn't win. By its third season in 1972, the show had bad scripts and ABC decided to pull the plug. Once again, he was not long out of work and was offered a chance to star in a lead role as "Anthony Dorian/Anthony Blake", on his first and only NBC dramatic series called,
"The Magician"
(1973). The show focused on Anthony performing magic tricks which helped people who were in trouble, and in real-life, Bill became a fine magician, performing to both children and adults. But sadly, the show was cancelled after one season due to its expensive costs. After a seven-year absence from the big screen, he co-starred in another western, opposite
Don Knotts
and
Tim Conway
, in
The Apple Dumpling Gang
(1975). Like most of the theatrical movies he did, it was not a blockbuster at the box office, but was still an average hit. In late 1977, he was offered the role of "Dr. David Bruce Banner", in a 2-hour pilot called,
"The Incredible Hulk: The Incredible Hulk (#1.1)"
(1977). About a physician/scientist who turned into a green monster whenever he became angry, the idea appealed to CBS, and several months later, they premiered a new science fiction-dramatic series, called,
"The Incredible Hulk"
(1978). When it
debut
ed as a mid-season replacement, it became the #1 show in the United States, and in many other countries. His character became famous for ripping up shirts each time he turned into the Hulk, played by bodybuilder
Lou Ferrigno
. Bixby had wanted to direct some episodes, but the time he had to spend in the make-up chair for the transformation sequences made that problematical, and he managed to helm only one segment, "Bring Me the Head of the Hulk", in the fourth season. It was cancelled in 1981 (although the last few episodes didn't air until 1982). He, once again, came back to series television, acting in, producing and directing his last sitcom,
"Goodnight, Beantown"
(1983), on which he played "Matt Cassidy". Chosen for the role of "Jennifer Barnes", was one of Bixby's old friends,
Mariette Hartley
, who had won an Emmy for her guest appearance in
"The Incredible Hulk"
(1978) as Banner's second wife. The two played co-anchor newscasters of a Boston television station whose sparring on and off the air developed into friendship and respect. Discounting a brief, inconsequential return to the network's schedule in the summer of 1984, the series lasted for less than a year, from April 1983 to January 1984. Bixby now decided to concentrate on directing and worked on
"Wizards and Warriors"
(1983),
"Goodnight, Beantown"
(1983) and
"Sledge Hammer!"
(1986). He also directed the pilot for a New York spy series, "Rockhopper". He also appeared in front of the camera as the host of the daytime anthology series,
"True Confessions"
(1985), which dealt with real-life crises of everyday people. Bixby additionally served as host for two shows targeting younger viewers: "Against the Odds", a series of biographies of prominent people, frequently from history, for the Nickelodeon cable channel; and "Once Upon a Classic", a collection of British TV adaptations of literary classics on PBS. He came back to reprise his role of "Dr. David Banner" from
"The Incredible Hulk"
(1978) by acting in, producing, and directing the three spin-off movies:
The Incredible Hulk Returns
(1988) (TV),
The Trial of the Incredible Hulk
(1989) (TV) and
The Death of the Incredible Hulk
(1990) (TV). He also directed TV movies such as
Baby of the Bride
(1991) (TV) and
Another Pair of Aces: Three of a Kind
(1991) (TV). In April 1991, while directing one of his last movies, he became very ill and was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He underwent surgery and his cancer seemed to be in remission, so he came back to guest star as "Nick Osborne" in a 2-hour TV movie/pilot called
Diagnosis Murder
(1992) (TV). When his cancer continued to be in remission, he returned to work to direct the popular NBC sitcom,
"Blossom"
(1990), where he became the main director of the show. At first, he hid his illness from the cast and crew, until one of the producers found out, and then he announced publicly that he wanted to continue working until he could no longer do so. Prior to going public with his illness, he directed a TV movie starring
Roseanne
and
Tom Arnold
,
The Woman Who Loved Elvis
(1993) (TV), which was his final directing project. The cancer returned and, on November 21, 1993, six days after leaving the set of "Blossom" (1991), he died after a long battle. For over 30 years, he was in great demand and his big roles and directing credits have been a personal testimony to his fans. His life is gone, but his legacy lives on for years to come.
MORE INFO ON LOU FERRIGNO:  An internationally famous and well respected bodybuilder / actor, Lou Ferrigno first appeared on TV screens in 1977 as the musclebound
"The Incredible Hulk"
(1978), the alter ego of meek scientist Bruce Banner. Ferrigno was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1951 and as a child suffered from an ear infection that resulted in permanent partial hearing loss. Undeterred by what some may have perceived as a disadvantage, Lou threw himself into athletics (predominantly weightlifting and body building) and at the age of 21 won his first Mr. Universe title. For good measure, he came back and won it again the following year!
He also played professional football in the Canadian Football League, before coming to the attention of producer
Kenneth Johnson
, who was seeking just the right person to portray on screen the comic book superhero, The Incredible Hulk. With his 6' 5", 285 lb. frame, Lou was the biggest professional bodybuilder of the time, and had recently starred in the documentary
Pumping Iron
(1977), about the 1975 Mr. Olympia contest in South Africa. He successfully auditioned for the part of the green-skinned Goliath, and that is the role with which he is most closely identified.
"The Hulk" was a huge ratings success and spawned several telemovies after the initial TV series completed its run. Lou continued to remain busy in films and TV with appearances often centered around his remarkable physique. His films included
Hercules
(1983),
Sinbad of the Seven Seas
(1989) and
Frogtown II
(1992). Lou has additionally guest-starred on several TV shows including
"The Fall Guy"
(1981) and
"The New Mike Hammer"
(1984) and had a recurring role on
"The King of Queens"
(1998). In 1997 he was featured in the dynamic documentary about his sensational return to professional bodybuilding at age 43,
Stand Tall
(1997). The film detailed how he returned to compete in the Masters category of the Mr. Olympia contest against several familiar bodybuilding foes. In more recent years, he has appeared in several films, including
The Misery Brothers
(1995),
Ping!
(2000),
From Heaven to Hell
(2002) and a cameo as a security guard in the big-budget remake of
Hulk
(2003).
Big Lou is also a successful author with two books detailing his bodybuilding knowledge, and his life behind the scenes playing the Incredible Hulk on TV in the 1970s, plus he has a popular website frequented by his many fans worldwide.
