That's what happened at the "Screen Actors Guild Awards" in 2015. He was actually supposed to receive an award for his role in the film "The Normal Heart", but he didn't show up at the awards ceremony. Instead, he apologetically tweeted, "Wake up to find out from my wife and kids that I've won a SAG award for The Normal Heart. Love wins tonight!"

The career of Mark Ruffalo

But Mark Ruffalo's life was not always so tranquil and idyllic: After studying at the famous acting school "Stella Adler Conversatory", he was initially drawn to the theater stage. Between 1990 and 1999 he played over 30 roles and even wrote a few plays himself. His salary is not enough at all, so that he has to work as a waiter on the side.
It was nine years before he made his breakthrough: Kenneth Lonergan made his directorial debut with "You Can't Count on Me" and Mark Ruffalo excelled in his role as the good-for-nothing brother of leading actress Laura Linney .

Just one year later, the actor is again put to the test: Doctors diagnose him with a brain tumor. Although the operation was successful, one side of his face remained paralyzed for months. Mark Ruffalo has to retire completely from acting for a good year. He loses all offers for roles, including a leading role in the film Signs, which went to Joaquin Phoenix .

Mark Ruffalo becomes Hulk

After this difficult time, however, Mark's career quickly picked up again. He starred in 'The City of the Blind' in 2008 and starred opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in 2010 in the Scorsese masterpiece 'Shutter Island'. Since he landed in 2012 for the role of former scientist Bruce Banner , who transforms into the Green Hulk when he has a raised heart rate, his recognition has soared. After all, since then he has starred in numerous Marvel films that have a growing fan base.

But despite the cinema successes: old love does not rust. From time to time Mark is still drawn back to his passion - the theater stage. The only difference is that he no longer has to work as a waiter on the side.
