Hey, it's Marco! Remember the original Hulk! Lou Ferrigno could have easily gone down the path of self-pity. Instead, he chose weightlifting to build his self-confidence, ultimately launching a career playing a TV superhero and transforming himself into a real-life role model.
“I was basically the Hulk my whole life,” says Ferrigno, a former champion bodybuilder best known for his role as Dr. David Banner’s alter ego in the 1970s television show, The Incredible Hulk. Like the character he played, Ferrigno discovered he could transform himself into a man of great strength—outside and inside—by confronting his fears and harnessing what he calls his personal power to obliterate obstacles in his way. “You can’t be afraid to take risks in your life,” he says. “You can’t be afraid to fail.”
