Glad to see you're giving Mark Ruffalo his due. You might laugh at this, but I think one of his best portrayals was Bruce Banner (The Hulk) in the first Avengers movie. During the epic battle scene, when Captain America says to him: "Dr. Banner, isn't it time for you to get angry?" He looks back over his shoulder with a smile that expresses both sadness and acceptance, and replies: "That's my secret - I'm always angry." It's a powerful moment that underscores the tragic nature and burden of being a superhero, and he pulls it off.

I understand that there is an upcoming new Oscar category for Best Ensemble. Would be a perfect retroactive award for Spotlight.

one of the most underrated actors of all time. Spotlight and Zodiac - great films. Also liked him in In The Cut with Meg. He is right in that Bill Pullman category - Underappreciated actors that are really good!
