Indeed for Mark Rufallo will never be Bill Bixby. To me Bill Bixby is who I think of whenever I read an issue of the Incredible Hulk or when I envision Dr. Bruce Banner.

Bill Bixby was a very fine actor. He played all kinds of roles. From kind, gentle men to evil villains. He was an excellent actor who could play any role very well. My mom and I never missed an episode of The Incredible Hulk. He was only 59 years old when he died of cancer. That was way too young. RIP Mr. Bixby.

For some reason I thought he had died of AIDS, it must have been a rumor in the 1990's that stuck around with me. Just about any man that died at an early age at that time I think were suspected of having contracted AIDS.

As far as television goes, I am glad Bill Bixby was part of my childhood.

Bill had a strong spirit. He would even prank his doctors when he was treated for his final stage cancer.

I still miss Bill Bixby. Since his passing I have read by those who knew him that he was a very kind, genuinely lovely person.

A true loss in every way - a real genuine gentleman- honest and emotional on tv and real life. A one of a kind that Hollywood will never replace.

I met Brandon Cruz at an autograph signing in the late 90's and I asked him about his appearance on the Arsenio Hall show. He said at the time he was recovering from injuries from a recent motorcycle accident and was still in some pain. Bill Bixby didn't know that and when he gave him the big bear hug he almost yelled out in pain but kept it in because Bill was so happy to see him. He's really a nice guy and we had a very pleasant conversation.

True Story.... back when Bill was in the third season of the show, one day while on the street a kid recognized him, and asked Bill if he had a son named Eddie... Bixby responded affirmative, and the kid immediately brought his single mother over to "meet" Eddie's "single" father! To try and get them together!

And to stay so positive like he did up until the end, just amazing!! One of the last interviews he gave before he died talking about his experiences with his cancer and meeting other patients is so moving, so incredibly sad, but shows us just what kind of human being he was.

RIP Bill you were a great actor. I grew up with the incredible hulk having been born in 1976, how i miss those days.

I saw this back in 1989!!!!!!! I REMEMBER!!!!!!! :O

I miss Bill Bixby. From all accounts, a really good guy. Big part of a lot of childhoods.

Rip to Bill Bixby, thanks for the memories when I was a child

i loved him in my favorite martian in the 60,s

Bill Bixby, one of a kind. A beautiful soul, a very kind man. You are missed so very much.

I miss Arsenio Hall & his genuiness Loved this Courtship of Eddie’s father used to watch it in our beach house in Playa Del Rey great memories This was when Whoopi was gentle too ❤

I was driving in LA once on vacation and I saw Bill Bixby in a white BMW waiting at a traffic light.... Very exciting.

RIP Bill. Wonderful human being

Bill Bixby had such a wonderful range as an actor, from memorable roles such as a sailor in "Irma La Duce" to episodes of "The Twilight Zone", "Barnaby Jones" and so many others that he did in addition to his best known work. Bill was also a proud former Marine who served from 1952-56. It's been 30 years since his death in 1993 and the testament to his talent and the man he was, is that we are still talking about him and missing him.

Besides being a fantastic actor, Bill Bixby was one of the most decent men ever to grace television and film; He also lived a life of heartbreak, while making others feel better. You don't get people like this anymore.

Bixby was the best.

i miss you bill. RIP

Bill Bixby was truly a great roll model and inspiration. He went threw so much but always kept moving forward.

this is another POSITIVE show!! #doremakeofthisshow

Truly A Great Man. This Is A Man Who Would Of Made A Big Difference In This World Today.

bill was a great man so humble and full of compassion. And after i saw this interview ,the same can be said of mister arsenio hall. Arsenio has a lot of compassion.The success arsenio has enjoyed is because he is genuine , full of compassion and morality.

Bill Bixby & Michael Landon. Them 2 did sooo much for Television.

Bill Bixby, a wonderful and very serious actor along with Brandon Cruz, this was great TV way back. I am sure it is dated now, but the sentiment is not. I watched it regularly in first release. I wanted to grow up and BE Bill Bixby.

Bill Bixby was one of those actors who seemed to do what he did purely for the love of acting, and not for the fame. He had no ego when he was not in character, but still managed to come across as wonderfully entertaining.

Wow I've never seen this on Arsenio show..I wish Bill Bixby was still with us..People would probably have him on cooking shows,interviews, commercial thx for sharing..

I hadn't seen this interview before now. It was enjoyable. Mr. Bixby was one of my all time favorite actors. I enjoyed his TV shows, Eddies Father and also The Magician. Being a (young) magician then, I tried to watch every episode. It disappointed me to miss an episode. (Thank goodness for the internet!...)

Bill Bixby always seemed like a really genuine and cool guy

its always a joyful place in my heart for Bixby,Landon,and Lou

The Courtship of Eddie's Fatjer was a few years before my time but I grew up watching The Incredible Hulk on television. Bill Bicby always struck me - even as a child - as a very kind and gentle man but he always had a shadow of sadness on his face that something told me was not part of his act on the show. Bill Bixny reminds me of my own father and I always drew comparisons to the two. Coincidentally my dad, who was never really a comic book fan loved The Incredible Hulk and watched it with me every Saturday night. He would get as excited as I would when Dr. Banner changed into Hulk and even my mother would tell us both to keep it down for fear of disturbing the neighbors. My dad could yell something fierce when he got excited. Now I have the series on DVD and although I am now so far from home - I now live in Asia while he is still back home in St. Lucia - Zheng and I talk every week and sometimes remember The Incredibke Hulk. My. Bixby, thank you so much for entertaining this 70's kid with the Hulk and The Courtship of Eddie's Father which I watched in reruns along with my own father. You were indeed an incredible actor and a wonderful and humble human being. Thank you so much. We miss you terribly.

Why do all the "Good Actors" die so young. The actors that give us really "Family-Like" Wholesome tv shows where you can learn positive instead of negative.. Michael Landon and Victor French are also in that genre of actors like Bill Bixby. Imagine all that we missed in quality tv because these amazing actors are gone.

I loved that show when I was a kid. I always thought that everything Bill Bixby touched turned to gold.

A great interview that shows what a big hearted, sensitive guy Bill Bixby was, while still having that pragmatic side to make it in the world of show biz. Also Arsenio could be a good interviewer sometimes by actually allowing his guest to talk without being judgment.
