THE Incredible Hulk is now a county sheriff's department reserve deputy. Lou Ferrigno, 54, who played the green-skinned monster from 1977 to 1982, was sworn in during a ceremony on Monday night.

The stars of summer blockbuster The Hulk enjoyed a monster turnout when they showed up for the film’s UK premiere tonight.

Vintage television programmes featuring bodybuilder Lou Ferrigno as The Incredible Hulk are being dusted off and released on DVD to capitalise on the coming release of The Hulk, one of the summer’s most anticipated big-budget films.
