THE HAT SQUAD: JACK COLVIN

In his fine tribute to the actor's most famous role, Tony Figueroa had this to say about Jack McGee in 'The Incredible Hulk':

"As an adult I enjoyed the show again in reruns... and really saw what Jack Colvin brought to the character of McGee. Here was a brilliant reporter who now was down on his luck working at a tabloid (The National Register). He knew that the HULK story would put him at the top of his profession again and became obsessed like Capt. Ahab.

....I cared for McGee because, unlike Ahab, his quest was not a personal vendetta, he just wanted to be respected in his field again."
