'Hulk' Lou Ferrigno now a sheriff's deputy heh?

Louie, you gotta stop feeling sorry for yourselfLOS ANGELES, California  Incredible Hulk is now sheriff's deputy

One of my all-time favorite t-shows is The Incredible Hulk from the 1970s. Now, the Hulk himself, Lou Ferrigno, has become a reserve deputy in the Los Angeles County sheriff's department. Just don't make him angry. You wouldn't like him when he's angry.

Lou Ferrigno, 54, who played the green-skinned monster on the CBS-TV show from 1977 to 1982, was sworn in during a ceremony Monday night.

"My father was a police officer with the New York Police Department; I've always had a high respect for officers," Ferrigno told The Associated Press. Ferrigno began training to become a reserve deputy last September after passing a background check. He completed training in firearms, first aid, and high-speed driving techniques and was recognized as "an outstanding trainee" by Sheriff Lee Baca.

But Lou, you are always feeling sorry for yourself. Now where is that gonna get you in life?Ferrigno was a bodybuilder before he starred on the TV show. The late actor Bill Bixby played mild-mannered scientist David Bruce Banner who, as Ferrigno, turned into a Herculean, green-skinned monster whenever he lost his temper. He switched back to Bixby's character as soon as he calmed down. CNN

Does Lou Ferrigno really feel sorry for himself? I know I felt sorry for MY-self the times I worked out at Gold's Gym in Santa Monica in 1980, when he'd be there doing lats, or whatever, too big for the machine, and I'd think "what am I doing here?" Though I never spoke to him, he appeared to be quite pleasant--more like Bixby than the freaky Green Man. I wonder how his hearing disability will affect his performance as a police officer.
