Mark Ruffalo starred this past spring in the romantic comedy hit “13 Going on 30,” opposite Jennifer Garner. His recent film credits also include the indie features “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,” with Jim Carrey; “We Don't Live Here Anymore,” opposite Naomi Watts, on which he also served as executive producer; and Jane Campion's controversial thriller “In the Cut,” opposite Meg Ryan.
Ruffalo had first come to the attention of critics and audiences in 2000 with his role in the award-winning independent film “You Can Count on Me,” in which he starred with Laura Linney under the direction of Kenneth Lonergan. His performance in that film brought Ruffalo the New Generation Award from the Los Angeles Film Critics Association and Best Actor honors at the Montreal Film Festival, as well as an Independent Spirit Award nomination for Best Actor.
His other film credits include the comedy “View From the Top,” with Gwyneth Paltrow; “My Life Without Me,” with Sarah Polley, which was featured at several international film festivals; John Woo's World War II drama “Windtalkers”; Austin Chick's “XX/XY,” which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival; Rod Lurie's “The Last Castle,” with Robert Redford and James Gandolfini; and the comedy “Safe Men.”
In addition to his work in front of the camera, Ruffalo co-wrote the screenplay for the independent film “The Destiny of Marty Fine,” in which he also starred. The film was the first runner-up at the 1995 Slamdance Film Festival.
An accomplished stage actor who has appeared in more than 30 plays, Ruffalo won a Lucille Lortel Award for Best Actor for his performance in the off-Broadway production of “This is Our Youth,” written by Kenneth Lonergan. He more recently appeared off-Broadway in the play “The Moment When,” written by Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winner James Lapine. He also directed Timothy McNeil's play “Margaret” in Los Angeles.
