Anyway, his name is almost exactly mine, with a letter or two difference (historical differences as the family diverged).  I had no idea he was working on it (in fact had no idea he even existed) until I was sitting in the theatre watching the credits to FotR, and I saw my name! (or close to it).  Went home and inquired and found out for the first time about this branch of the family (clearly I don't take a hobbit like interest in this stuff).

By chance a year later I was passing through and looked him up.

His big break was doing the ping-pong scene in Forrest Gump.  Everyone was trying to work it out mathematically and were going crazy, he just did it by eye.  Sort of ironic given that his math skills came in so useful later.

That was well played Chris, but I saw this image and the need overtook me, quite strongly, to say something about the "Incredible" Hulk.

Fuck. You.
May your bullshit comic book legacy die out and every single copy of all your films end up as recycled cat-litter boxes.
Gawd I hate the Hulk.
