History:

Comments: Bill Bixby played David Banner, while Lou Ferrigno played the Hulk. Richard Kiel was initially cast in the latter role, and filmed part of the pilot before his part was recast with Ferrigno; most of Kiel's footage was dropped or reshot with Ferrigno, though at least one brief scene, shot from overhead, remains of Kiel in the pilot. For mid-transformation shots (the "Demi-Hulk") wrestler Ric Drasin was sometimes used.

CLARIFICATIONS: None.
