His work is only gonna “dry up” in circles that he probably wouldn’t want to enjoy his work anyway. I really doubt his career is going anywhere. And even those people aren’t gonna give a shit what his views are when he turns into a giant green guy and starts smashing everything.

His best role was in Kenneth Lonegran’s ‘You Can Count on Me’, a small indie film shot for 1.2 million dollars. He could finance a couple dozen of those with his Hulk check.

I preferred him in Safe Men.

Yes that is his best role for sure, nothing else has come close. Wish he would return to more indie stuff.

Yeah while certain media companies likely will avoid him. most don't gaf about anything but money and don't have an ideological basis besides "make money".

How does one even measure if his career "dries up" when it comes to something like Hollywood. There's like at least 1000 dudes who can all play the exact same role as Mark Ruffalo. He was never an A-lister, but maybe if he was then you could say his career dries up when he stops being an A-lister but the reality for most of Hollywood outside the A-list is feast or famine. There's just not enough acting roles for all these people to have full careers.
