      Nope, he wasn't working steadily until he landed a role in You Can Count on Me (2000). Before that, he was bartending to support his theatre career while going for auditions of which he got rejected countless times, except for a few small roles in movies nobody had ever heard of. Even after the success of You Can Count on Me at Sundance, he still went back bartending for a short time. (Huge Ruffalo fan, btw)

    That's what I think makes Ruffalo the perfect Hulk. He's been though the struggles of becoming ill and losing his brother and I think he channels this pain and anger into his role as the Hulk.

  • @jgillettejukebox
    @jgillettejukebox 6 лет назад +80

    As an actor he was truly blessed to get that many auditions. Especially if he was SAG early on. Most actors are lucky to get a few auditions a month. You have to have a really good agent to get you out that much. Actors that audition that much are going to 2-3 auditions a day. Those are generally the working actors already in the game. He must have have a good agent. LOL

      Pram De Rooy I've heard he's going to do the Columbo reboot. Which would be great, because as much as I dislike remakes and reboots, he is PERFECT for that role. No one else has the same distracted, rumpled charm as Peter Falk. I hope it's happening, because it will be awesome.

    • @shoesoffbootson5317
      @shoesoffbootson5317 9 лет назад +3

      Pram De Rooy The closest he's come to evil is playing guys who were not fundamentally bad, but who did bad things--guy who sleeps with his best friend's wife ("We Don't Live Here Anymore"), guy who doesn't come forward after a hit-and-run ("Reservation Road"), guy who goes way overboard getting revenge on people who wronged his family ("Now You See Me"). But I agree that seeing him play a truly dark, evil character would be fascinating. And, I am big enough to admit this, also really hot.
