After being typecast in romantic lead roles for rom-coms such as 13 Going On 30 and Just Like Heaven, Mark Ruffalo found it difficult to break into other genres – that is, until he got a “take it or leave it” offer from the team behind Zodiac.In a recent interview with High Snobiety, Ruffalo spoke about Paramount Picture’s Zodiac project and how they grudgingly gave him a unique opportunity to try something new, saying, “I’ll never forget when they were negotiating my deal [for ‘Zodiac’], the studio negotiator literally said to my manager, ‘Look, we don’t give a shit about Mark Ruffalo, we don’t even want Mark Ruffalo in this movie, so you’re going to take what we’re offering you or forget it.'”Ruffalo went from rom-com lead to playing more serious, dramatic roles like police officer Dave Toschi in Zodiac, Dr. Lester Sheehan in Shutter Island, and Dwight Arno in Reservation Road, along with comedic roles in films like The Brothers Bloom and Date Night before signing a deal with Marvel to portray Hulk in the Avengers franchise. Ruffalo says that it’s difficult to branch out in Hollywood, stating, “…once you did one thing well, that’s what they think you are. They will just come to you with that part over and over again”.Related: Thanos and Hulk Battle it Out in Marvel’s New Miniseries
