Poll question: Favorite portrayal of Hercules in movies or television.
Which actor did you prefer as Hercules?

I liked Lou Ferrigno. Even though his voice was dubbed.

I'm running out of clever ideas, here. Sorry. :-)

who played Herc (dubbed) in the gladiator-type movies. Greased-up pecs ... yum.....

Hercules: I have not exercised much since the last Olympics. And I've learned, to my sorrow, that if you stop exercising, the muscle turns to fat.

King Laetes: I was going to feed you to the Hydra, the seven-headed dragon.. but looking at you, I have a better idea. You are said to be the strongest man to ever live. I will spare your life, if you can pass a test of strength!

Hercules: Must I pass this test of strength right away?

King Laetes: What do you mean?

Hercules: If I can have a month or two, to get into better condition..

King Laetes: No! Absolutely not! You must the test of strength now! Today!

Hercules: Very well. What is your test?

King Laetes: Do you see that boulder over there? I want you to lift it!

Hercules: That boulder is too large. I could lift a smaller one.

King Laetes: So! The Mighty Hercules!

Hercules: In six months I will be able to lift it. Right after I put an end to your despotic rule, Laetes, I plan to start a new regimen - hunting, swimming, eating better.. < rubbing his belly > All this will disappear.
