Lou Ferrigno has been sworn in as a reserve deputy sheriff, according to BBC News Online.
The star of The Incredible Hulk will volunteer for 20 hours a month as a part-time Los Angeles police officer, with duties similar to those of a UK special constable.
"I want to give back to the community, and I want to work with young kids, help them get off drugs," he explained. "My father was a police officer with the New York Police Department, I've always had a high respect for officers."
According to Sheriff Lee Baca, Ferrigno will help with recruitment and also deal with the sheriff's youth activities league and special victims bureau.
"Mr Ferrigno will certainly help inspire those currently serving as reserves, and he'll be an encouragement to those who may wish to become reserve deputies," added Baca.
