A television obituary has slipped through the cracks. Dick Durock
has passed away. Who is Dick Durock, you ask? Why, he played the title character in the
Swamp Thing movie written and directed by Wes Craven and its subsequent poor follow-up, as well as
the television series based on the movies. Also, he played an evil Hulk in
The Incredible Hulk television series and was a stuntman on various television shows including
Star Trek.
I remember watching that
Incredible Hulk episode as a kid, and my first thought was "that second Hulk isn't anywhere near as muscular as the first." Still, in his prime Dick Durock could have undoubtedly kicked my ass.
Just to prove how tough Dick Durock was ... I don't know many people who have long battles with pancreatic cancer. Usually, that takes you out in a hurry. If you could stand up to Lou Ferrigno, pancreatic cancer was in for one hell of a fight.
