Bill Bixby is the actor Randy Charles Johnson remembers in a video marking the 30th anniversary of Bixby's death. Randy describes him as a very talented actor and says he will continue to be missed.
Career And Roles
Randy says Bixby starred in My Favorite Martian, The Courtship of Eddie's Father, and The Incredible Hulk, and that he guest-starred on The Andy Griffith Show. He also says Bixby was friends with Elvis and dated someone the transcript names as "Ivon Craig," which is left cautious because the transcript audio is noisy.
Randy's Memory Of Him
Randy recalls loving The Incredible Hulk and says he used to think it would be cool to turn into the Hulk. He then says that no longer seems appealing because he owns a house and the Hulk would smash it to pieces, so that comment is about the character rather than about Bixby himself.
