The humanity inside extraordinary stories

Whether playing a troubled brother, an investigative reporter or Bruce Banner, Ruffalo lets uncertainty remain visible.

From the stage to the screen

Mark Ruffalo was born in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on 22 November 1967. He trained in acting in Los Angeles and worked in theatre and independent films before his role in Kenneth Lonergan’s You Can Count on Me (2000) brought wider attention.

He appeared in Martin Scorsese’s Shutter Island (2010) and received an Academy Award nomination for supporting actor for The Kids Are All Right (2010). In The Avengers (2012), he took on Bruce Banner and the Hulk, returning to the role in subsequent Marvel films.

His later work includes Spotlight (2015), in which he plays investigative journalist Michael Rezendes, and Poor Things (2023). FLM.RED’s reading is that his performances often give a character’s confidence room to coexist with doubt: the effect can be intimate in a drama and unexpectedly human in a superhero film.

A career across different scales

You Can Count on Me

2012

The Avengers

Bruce Banner brings restraint and apprehension into a story about spectacular power.

Spotlight

As Michael Rezendes, he follows the persistence of a reporter working with a team.
