Was Arnold Schwarzenegger offered the role of The Incredible Hulk on TV?

That's a fun thought! Arnold Schwarzenegger and The Incredible Hulk do seem like a combo that would have been pretty awesome. But, no, he wasn't offered the role.

Here's what we know:

* The Incredible Hulk TV series (1978-1982) starred Bill Bixby as Dr. David Banner and Lou Ferrigno as the Hulk.

* Arnold Schwarzenegger's career was just beginning in the late 70s. He was becoming known for action roles like Conan the Barbarian and The Terminator, but he hadn't achieved the mega-stardom he later enjoyed.

It's possible that Schwarzenegger was considered for the role, but it's not a well-documented fact.

Even though Schwarzenegger didn't play the Hulk, the show's impact on his career can't be ignored. Ferrigno's iconic portrayal of the Hulk helped solidify Schwarzenegger's image as a muscular action hero.
