Biography

A native of Wisconsin, Mark Ruffalo moved with his family to San Diego when he was 18 and soon migrated north, settling in Los Angeles where he took classes at the Stella Adler conservatory. He eventually co-founded the Orpheus Theatre Company, an Equity-Waiver establishment, where he did yeoman work -- from acting, writing, directing and producing to running the lights and building sets. Despite good stage reviews, he couldn't get arrested in film and TV, bartending for nearly nine years to make ends meet. Ready to give it all up, a chance meeting and resulting corroboration with playwright/screenwriter Kenneth Lonergan changed everything. Ruffalo won NY success in Lonergan's play "This Is Our Youth", which led to his winning the male lead in Lonergan's film You Can Count on Me (2000). Hollywood took major, award-winning notice, some reviewers even comparing him to an early Marlon Brando. Despite his newfound stardom, he still remains true to his small theater company in L.A., occasionally directing and performing in between the big, lucrative film projects that are now coming his way.
