Boy what an impact Mr. Bixby had on my childhood. Still to this day I'm sad he is no longer with us.
He and Arthur Ash made wearing glasses and being intelligent cool.
This man was so grounded and compassionate, loved him my whole childhood. So kind and intelligent.
me to big impact in my early days
THE
BEST
BANNER
EVER.
He really did seem pretty down to earth and pretty approachable. Really a shame of some of the personal hurdles he had to face but seemed to tackle them the best he could. Would've been an honor to shake his hand for sure.
He was the embodiment of Dr. Banner. Bill Bixby is one of my childhood heroes. I wish I could have met him in person
same here..
sportsmedia25 he’s mine too ... I grown up watching first run in the 70’s ... amazing show
@@TowardsTruth191 Me, three.
me too is also loved to of met Jack Colvin and I would love to meet Lou ferrig no and producer of the show Kenny Johnston
That goes double for me. To me,he will always be Dr. David Bruce Banner. No way will Rufallo ever outshine Bixby’s portrayal of the character.
I met bill in the late 70sand he is the most loving caring gentle nicest man you will ever meet he is kind will do anything to help anyone I'll home very much miss you bill Virginia s
Your so privileged to have met him! I love him, such a lovely guy,
@@MissFeline he was a very loving kind a
@@virginias6357 how did you meet him
Bill handled that interview like the true pro that he was... wonderful actor and human being. - Chris
He had to be such a gentlemen, and so respectful in every interview I have seen with him.
Major loss when we lost Bill Bixby!!
Been a while since seeing this clip. I love how Bixby describes the nature of the Hulk. His loss remains tragic to fans who loved/love him.
Bill is one of those losses that still laden me.he died too young and also his life was.full of sad.losses
@Great White Cat The Same Here About Bill Bixby As Himself Is So Handsome And Very SEXY And Very MUSCULAR AND VERY Talented PROFESSIONAL MAGICIAN 🎩 😀 👏 👌 😍 🙌!
Beautiful Bill will always be loved xx
Bill and Jack Colvin would be 90 this year.
Rip Bill Bixby. Great actor. Love the incredible hulk tv series. He was perfect as Dr Banner. Thanks for posting this.
So sad he’s gone he’s missed dearly
He had such a wonderful and warm personality and kept his friends close to his heart. A fantastic human who the world is now less fortunate that he has passed.
Bill Bixby Top ACTOR !!!!!
Oh Bill, what a wonderful man. So sad to lose him before his time. He was obviously very invested in "the hulk" and cared about the people he worked with.
By far, the most likable and sympathetic (Bruce) Banner in any medium that I've ever seen. Ferrigno did a great job making the Hulk himself into a sympathetic "gentle giant" too, relative to practically every other version of Hulk.
Bill Bixby was a fine actor and even more a great person you can tell just by the way he did this interview. He was a awesome David Banner and Lou. F was a great Hulk.
My favorite actor of all time. He's the only actor that ever made me believe.
i kinda always do see bill as david no matter what cause i love the show
I would say the only other actor that is like that is David Janssen from The Fugitive.
Hope the biography on Bill is released soon, love him
R.I.P. BILL BIXBY
Bill Bixby RIP 🙏 🕊 ☮ 😌 ☹️ 😔 1934-1993!
100% the best Banner ever!! The pilot to the to series is also the best Hulk movie ever made too
Oh Ya, Bill Bixby is Definitely Tops for Me. He's an Awesome Actor and Spectacular Person. R.I.P. Bill Bixby ❤
I fell in love with Bill, although I had seen all of his stuff, when he was Eddie's Father, sigh......
1:47 thank you Bill for correcting her.
bill bixby is awesome ill always see him as david banner
Bill Bixby Has A Great Since Of Humor TOO 🤣 😄 😆 😀 🙄 😂 🤣 😄 😆 😀!
Bill i think was talking about"marriage" episodes. 2part. Man bill was brilliant 👍🏻🙏🏻
01:48
True....David almost turned himself in to the police in the Guilt, Models and Murder episode until he remembered that he saw someone in the room with the would be victim just as he was in the early stages of his transformation into the Hulk.
The way Mr. Bixby explained the Hulk’s behavior was very intelligent. He truly understood both characters. I think he was talkin about the “Married” TV movie.
The Best David Banner!😊😎👌
Bix a true artist
He was my first crush, i waa devastated when he died.😢😢
Obviously this lady had zero understanding of the Hulk and his nature.
Bill was the nicest guy you could of met I met him when I was in California and l loved him very much he was so sweet and kind very loving guy l will always remember you bill l love. You your always in my heart love. Virginia. S
Bill is so humble.
Eu cresci assistindo ele incrivel Hulk
Eu também cresci assistindo o incrível Hulk será qui eli ainda vivi hj tenho 56 anos de idade Eli e lindo de si ver 🤲🤲🤲🤲🤲🤲🤲🤲
He never threw a child. I hope she just made an honest mistake. No one disses the Hulk like that. No one.
I've always thought Bill Bixby was hot!
May he rest in peace 🙏🏻 ❤
I love his glasses!!!
It's ironic she mentioned a female Hulk. If the Hulk had gone on a little bit longer, there was the chance we would have seen a She-Hulk. Ken Johnson had come up with an idea in which Banner's sister was injured and needed a blood transfusion. Of course, she gets David's blood and gamma-altered DNA does the rest. When Marvel heard of this, they used this plot, origin and all, to create their own She-Hulk but in this case, it was Banner's cousin, not sister.
In some other universe Bill Bixby is killing it as Banner/Hulk in that universe's version of the MCU.
Leta Powell Drake (March 10, 1938 - September 15, 2021) was an American broadcaster, television producer, screenwriter and television personality on local stations in Nebraska.
Bill is a great actor his even been in Elvis Presley films
Sometimes I get pissed of the way life throws things at us as people..All these evil people running around out here today,criminals, muderers,psychopaths child molesters,and my growing up childhood fan had to die of this ridiculous disease early wtf..sometimes I really wonder about life sometimes.
Bill Bixby is good
I!Agree With You About This One About Bill Bixby!
Damn lady, at least watch an episode or 3. She hasn’t the slightest idea of the show!!
Why couldn't I meet somebody as nice and sexy like him?
Because women chose feminism over real men
@@seshwondo376 That's because most of the so called real men turned out to be fake. No woman wants to be mistreated.
Yeah you’re probably right, the culture just gradually got worse over the decades but there always great people in every generation they’ve just become harder to find
@@seshwondo376 You got that right!!
@@seshwondo376 you have clearly no idea what feminism is
Bill was the helicopter pilot in Kirk Douglas' favorite film, 'Lonely Are the Brave ' . Kirk shoots the copter out of the sky. Walter Matthau, Carroll O'Connor, George Kennedy, William Schallert co-stars.
He will always be David banner
Awesome find!
On an episode of That Girl, Marlo Thomas sprayed bug spray at Bill Bixby! I thought he was going to "hulk out" in that scene. Donald Hollinger's friend's name was Harry Banner!
wow! This woman/interviewer was very disappointing in this! She clearly had no idea what the show was about!
That's ok. Bill Bixby explained it perfectly
Sometimes, that can be on purpose, so that the interviewee, explains the show, to anyone who doesn't know what its about.
@@thedarkness97 ....exactly.
Il jouait bien le rôle de David dans l'incroyable Hulk Rip Bill Bixby
Wilfred Bailey Everett Bixby III (San Francisco, 22 de enero de 1934-Century City, Los Ángeles, 21 de noviembre de 1993), conocido profesionalmente como Bill Bixby, fue un actor, director, productor y panelista frecuente de programas de juegos estadounidense.
its insane how much similaryties he has with Jean claude van damme in his gestures and facial mimics
Exactly What I Have Thought. Critics Have Called JCVDs' Acting Skills Ameturish But He Is Really-Good A Solid-Actor.Action-Stars Acting Skills Are Always Dissed By Critics. But In Reality They Are Very Professional Actors Just Like BB Was. It Probably Would Be Laughed/Scoffed At But If A Movie Was Ever Made About BB.JCVD Would Be A Fine Choice To Play BB He Just Might Suprise You. It's Happened Before. How Many Times Have We Seen A Actor Cast In A Movie And We Think That Is Another Example Of Miscasting? But That Actor Does The Impossible And Pulls It Off? That List Is Endless. RIP Bill.
@@keithforsay4204 Van Damme is very capable! He just hadnt got a rolle where he could show his full potenital.
This interview took place just before Season 2.
I loved this show back in the day.
1978?
@@reneruiz4
I believe so.
Bixby makes a reference to the season 2 episode "Married" because he mentions the Hulk meeting Dr Banner one on one. We now know that was done through hypnosis..
Just like C Reeves will always be Superman this guy IS David Banner,the alter ego of The Incredible Hulk
Okay tbh I am doing a Marvel Marathon (watching all marvel based movies since I watched MCU) and I have finished Hulk series like a week ago and I have to tell that sometimes it was boring cuz it was repetitive, but most of the times I really liked that, the movies were awesome, the part 1 and 2 film episodes were awesome as well, also some of the other eps were great, and I really enjoyed the series even tho the CGI wasn’t that good as it is in MCU now for example
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I saw many interviews with this lady, it always looks like she wants to lap dance with the guests. lol
IF THERE EVER WAS THE INCREDIBLE SHE HULK I WOULD NEVER WATCH SOME HULK SHOWS ARE SO CRAZY I CAN T EVEN STAND TO WATCH THEM ANYMORE
Miss. Bill. He went too young.
Considering the girl's dad shot the Hulk in the shoulder, he shouldn't have been able pick up her father & throw him into the lake, as the bullet would have rendered the arm useless.
It’s almost as if she didn’t do some research for that question about the episode with the kid that fell in the water. She asked why the Hulk threw the kid in the water. Huh?
And she says that The Hulk is her favorite show and always watches it!
Is personal like was as tragic as the character he played in that hulk series.
من الشطور الحلو اللي امه داعيتله يترجملي؟؟؟
😉
0:23 I wonder what he would've thought about the She-Hulk series.
Described to a t
who’s she?
