ERIC BANA - BANA VOWS NEVER TO RETURN TO COMEDY

Actor ERIC BANA has ruled out ever returning to his comic roots as the genre left him "burnt out". The Incredible Hulk star made his TV debut in 1993 as a sketch artist and writer for Australian comedy show Full Frontal, before moving on to a serious acting career. But Bana, 39, insists his days as a funnyman are now over. He says, "By the time I started doing film I was kind of burnt out. I know it is frustrating for people who like to see that stuff and I just tell them to go onto (uploading website) YouTube. "I just had had enough of it. I did it for a long time back home where they probably don't take me seriously and internationally, people can't believe I was once funny so it's a good scenario, I enjoy that scenario."
