Mark Ruffalo has nothing on his green alter ego these days.

Sure, the actor’s signature character is mean, green and out of control. Compare that to what Ruffalo says in a new interview with the UK Independent:

“We are approaching mass extinctions, food systems failing, hundreds of millions of displaced people looking for places that are hospitable.”

Ruffalo spoke to the news outlet to promote “Dark Waters,” a fact-based film which hit theaters last year but failed to gain awards season buzz. The actor plays a lawyer fighting a powerful corporation tied to environmental-based deaths.

The press seized on two key items from Ruffalo’s Feb. 22 chat:

He describes Hollywood as a home for White Supremacy He says Marvel head honcho Kevin Feige nearly quit over the MCU’s lack of diversity

Marble-mouthed actor who usually plays the schlubby but decent guy. I don't know how he made it .... maybe he had to do some special services for Harvey Weinstein too.

As Anthony Hopkins says so wisely, actors are not particularly bright people because intellect is not a requirement of the job.

Given this, actors would be well-served to realize that they should keep their mouths shut unless and until they are called upon to discuss their craft.

Unfortunately, because they sometimes command attention due to their fame, they think, falsely, that they can use their megaphone to spout their beliefs when their beliefs are actually no better thought out than those of the next fellow.
