Sometimes life really imitates art - so at least one can say about MARVEL films. As you know, Robert Downey Jr. became the key figure of the Grand "Saga of Infinity," said Tony Stark / Iron Man. However, it turned out that the influence of the actor was distributed not only by the one, but also on this side of the screen. As Mark Ruffalo admitted, it was Downey Jr. who convinced him not to give up the role of Hulk in a film marvel:
I was afraid. I did not know what I could add to the fact that it was already so well done before me. Until then, I was shot only in independent films, so I said: "I do not know whether I have a person for this." Joss Odon [director "Avengers"] I answered this: "Yes, you definitely approach this role." And later I called Dauni. Obviously, I had information about my oscillations. In the genuine manner of Iron man then told me: "Ruffalo, forward. Let's do it". After this conversation, I realized that I could not retreat.
For the first time Ruffalo played Bruce Benner / Hulk in the film "Avengers" (2012), after which he fulfilled this role in four pictures of Marvel, including "Avengers: Final" (2019). Although the world famous MARVEL brought world famous fame, Sinefila Ruffalo was famous long before that. Until 2012, he managed to play in such sign films as "the eternal radiance of pure mind", the "island of the damned" and "zodiac".
