Mark Ruffalo

Mark Ruffalo
Born 22 Nov 1967, in Kenosha, Wisconsin

Wise words: "The whole experience of getting close to mortality changed my perspective on work. I wasn't enjoying acting before: I felt like I wasn't in charge of my career. I was really bitter, I thought I deserved more, and I wasn't grateful. After the brain tumor happened, I realised I love acting, I've always loved it, I may never get a chance to do it again."
