In fact, when Marvel announced that Mark Ruffalo would replace Edward Norton in the new Hulk in The Avengers, many were skeptical, with many believing that Mark was doing this to save money.

Ruffalo's fame is far less than Norton's, nor is he as talented as Norno, his performance is very explosive and deep, no matter in that respect, he is not as good as Norton, he did not inherit too many acting programs from his predecessors, but to figure out the psychology of the characters from a more mature and more human perspective, so the Bruce Banner he brought is no longer as entangled as in the first two films.

Mark explains why he uses Ruffalo in the Facebook space: "There is a bookish air in Mark's clumsiness, which is the stupidity of an intellectual, not stupid, Dr. Banner is a gentleman, and the Hulk is a terrible creature." ”

Forty years old, I was full of relief in my self-deprecation, daring to face up to my own violent side, no longer outlaw the end of the world to suppress my transformation. It can be said that Mark Ruffalo is similar to Bruce Banner in many places, so he vividly shows the inner drama of the Hulk's self-struggle and the domineering leakage of the invincible, but without the slightest bitterness and entanglement.

Ruffalo didn't get the role directly, he had a meeting with Mark, Mark had a meeting with him, he thought it was an audition, but Mark just asked a few simple questions, such as asking him what he understood about the role, and he didn't even turn on the camera lens in the process, and asked him to go back after answering.

Later, in an interview with reporters, he introduced the talks.

Reporter: "When did you first come into contact with Marvel Comics, and have you been a die-hard fan since you were a child?"

Ruffalo: "I guess my first contact was when I was seven or eight years old, when I used to watch Hulk TV series and comics, then Captain Rice, and then I became crazy about the Avengers, and I still have a lot of comic books from the sixties and seventies. Marvel has always been with me growing up and is an important part of the American culture that I am obsessed with.

Reporter: "What did you think when you learned that The Avengers was directed by Joss Whedon?"

Ruffalo: I really like his Iron Man and The Dark Knight. I really appreciate Mark's humor and sci-fi ideas. His works have a unique style that is different from ordinary people, comical and subtle, and at the same time unconventional. I have an indelible impression of him and have always dreamed of working with him. ”

Reporter: "Tell us about the day you got the call for a successful audition." ”

Ruffalo: "It's incredible, it's not the type of character I've played in the last few years, but it's the best role I've thought I could play well other than Wolverine." Especially when I saw how Marvel balanced Iron Man with Robert Downey Jr., I was quite excited. Downey is a great actor and one of my favorites. After seeing his almost reinvented performance, I felt that I could fully integrate my acting style into the comic book world, so I was looking forward to this film and to the director Mark. ”

The reporter smiled and said, "I'm asking you about the situation on the day you received the call." ”

Ruffalo said: "Of course I'm very excited, Marvel has always been very good at secrecy, in fact, before the press conference, even I didn't know I would get the role. The day before the press conference, the agent called him: "Look out the window at five o'clock tomorrow morning, if there is a car downstairs, it means that you have got the role, if not, go back to the bed and sleep." ”

The reporter said: "Is it still such a thing?"

Ruffalo said: "Yes, I have experienced "800 auditions successfully without roles", I can fully withstand this psychological pressure, as expected, the car came at five o'clock in the morning, and the Marvel staff escorted me to the venue, and then waited in the secret passage of the venue, when it was announced that I had won the role, the scene was embarrassing. ”

The reporter also laughed, and the TV screen showed Robert Downey Jr. as the host to introduce the actors and the roles they played, he said: "Now the upcoming is the ...... who plays the Hulk again" The audience went into a frenzy, knowing that the last actor to star in "The Incredible Hulk" was Edward Norton, and the fans were reveling, and Downey read Ruffalo's name.

Everyone looked at each other, "Who?" The fans who attended the press conference could not hide their disappointment, but it was Mark who praised Ruffalo's talent, saying that Ruffalo got the role through his audition, and he (Mark) followed the usual style, only choosing the right ones, not the expensive ones.

Mark's endorsement suppressed all opposition, because there were really few people who dared to question Mark's vision. In this regard, Ruffalo, who was interviewed, was full of gratitude and repeatedly expressed his gratitude.

Mark Ruffalo recalls his arrival in Los Angeles and his life of abject poverty but a life of exile full of acting dreams. "It was the best of times and the worst of times," he said. ”

At the time, he was taking acting classes in Los Angeles and running a zero-budget theater company with a group of friends, subsidizing his rent by working as a gardener and painter. After successfully convincing their younger brother Scott to come to Los Angeles as well, the brothers and their cousin and another friend huddled into a one-bedroom apartment for $600 a month, the cousin slept in the living room, the friend slept in the kitchen, and the two brothers shared a full bedroom and a real bed. For a while, Scott got a spot in the National Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, and he would cook a big pot full of tuna pasta for the four lads to eat for a week.

For a while they lived near MacArthur Park, which was a danger zone. Walking through the park in the morning, you will see corpses in the haystacks, Rufalo's neighbor was stabbed 12 times for trying to stop some street thugs from stealing cars, all of which happened on the front porch of his house, and on another occasion, when Ruffalo was running an errand at a local bar, a gangster pulled out a gun, and a policeman who had just left work immediately pulled out a gun and shot the gangster dead...... We may not be able to comprehend how hard Marc Ruffalo struggles to make ends meet in such a chaotic community and has optimistic hopes for the future.

"I roughly calculated that there must have been about 800 auditions, and I didn't pass any of them. I was so depressed that I started to get angry. He even vowed four or five times that he would never perform again, it was useless, and he would try again when he got the opportunity to audition. But L.A. is full of actors, and who cares about a young man from the middle of the United States who isn't handsome and has no background? Sometimes the audition process is so bad that he drags his tired and desperate body back to the rental house and starts pounding the wall in anger until he punches the hole.

At that time, he was most envious of the stars of the same age who were thriving in Hollywood, Johnny Depp, Nicolas Cage, ...... "All my thinking and research on drama failed to help me step into the door of this industry, I wondered if I was pushing too hard, anyway, I just couldn't enter that circle." ”

At the age of 24, Ruffalo gave up acting and returned to his hometown to do business with his father. He just wants a stable job to settle down in his hometown, but his mother wants him to go back to Los Angeles, eat peanut butter sandwiches, and pursue his dreams.

Indeed, Ruffalo was not a shrewd businessman, and he ended up returning to Los Angeles. Then he met his wife, had three adorable children, and became the Incredible Hulk.

Mark Ruffalo's wife, Senrice Koig, is also an actress, and her name literally translates to Sunrise. For Ruffalo, this is the sun goddess of his life, and he has said more than once: "I don't know if I would have survived without her." ”

I met Senrice in 1998, and it's no exaggeration to say that it was a fateful street encounter. Ruffalo was walking down the street with a friend he and Sen Rice were walking when he happened to meet her. Ruffalo could sense that his friends were reluctant to introduce Senrice to him.

But when Mark Ruffalo and Senreis Koig looked at each other, Ruffalo decided: "I'm going to marry this girl." But Ruffalo was destitute, living in a converted garage, the standard 31-year-old Los Angeles drifter, with nothing but hard work, intelligence and resilience.

The girl also realized this: "You have neither a driver's license nor a credit card. I don't want to be in a relationship with someone who has a problem. When she was acquainted, the girl went to play in Ruffalo's garage, and she comforted him: "Don't be discouraged, I know that you are a very good actor." Ruffalo was a little confused: "But you haven't seen me act at all." The girl smiled: "Don't pierce it, I have a sixth sense." ”

In 2002, Ruffalo's career just picked up, he starred in the independent film "I Do My Job, You Can Rest Assured", co-starred with his idol Robert Redford in "The Last Castle", participated in "The Wind Whisperer" directed by John Woo and starring Nicolas Cage, and won the leading role in "Girl's Dream Thirty", and he is about to take advantage of the chicken movie to become a mainstream actor in Hollywood...... Then, he was diagnosed with a brain tumor.

Behind his left ear was diagnosed a nerve tumor, the size of a walnut. At first, he thought it was a dream with too big a brain, but it wasn't until he went for a CT scan that he was diagnosed. Doctors say surgery is possible, but there is a 30% chance that he will lose control of his left side. At this time, Mrs. Rice Koig was about to give birth, and they were about to have their first child.

Ruffalo did not want to frighten his wife, so he told no one and endured it all alone. It wasn't until the birth of his eldest son, Keane, that he told his wife and family. Two weeks later, he walked onto the operating table.
