My Take
Bill Bixby is, to me, one of those actors whose warmth was his secret weapon. Best remembered as the gentle, haunted scientist in the original Hulk series, he could convey decades of sorrow with just a glance before any transformation. His Berkeley education seemed to feed the thoughtful, articulate quality he brought to cerebral roles, and the fact that he moved into directing tells me he understood the craft from every angle. Losing him at 59 felt premature. I admire him as a quietly skilled professional who elevated material that could have been pure pulp, and I think he deserves more lasting recognition.
