'The Hulk' was the beginning of me, a platform as an actor to grow.

The Hulk, that was the experience of my life, so far.

As a kid, I loved the whimsical Superman and Batman stuff, and as a teenager, Marvel was more angsty, and that appealed to me. Marvel dealt with more stuff I could relate to as a teenager.

I was just a little three-year-old kid, and I loved Hulk Hogan. And when you're a three-year-old kid, you don't list off the reasons. I was just drawn to him. He was always my favorite, even in the video games and everything like that. He was the one that I always remembered and liked the most.

I was an enormous fan of Dan Slott's run, and John Byrne's run was a big deal for me. I found Slott's version of 'She-Hulk' first, and then I went back and looked up some of the older stuff because I liked it so much. And it was so good. It was perfect. It was my perfect comic book at the time that I found it.

The truth is, I've been the Hulk my whole life.

As an adolescent, Spider-Man was what got me through tough times in terms of being a skinny kid.

I've always loved comic books, which is why I've done films like 'Hulk' and 'The Punishers.'

I was into Spider Man when I was a kid and that was the only comic I've ever read.

Back in the '70s, like one of my favorite movies ever was 'The Bad News Bears', and that was a kids' movie, but I don't think of it that way. I think of it as just a great movie because Walter Matthau was so funny and so harsh with those kids.
