Green And Sexy

I'm trying to get my mind around the idea that Mark Ruffalo, of all people, might end up playing the Hulk in The Avengers. Don't get me wrong, I love the dude. But he doesn't strike me as particularly mild-mannered and tortured. Even as a detective chasing a serial killer in Zodiac, he was tense, angry, eccentric, gentlemanly rather than a sweet guy hiding a monster. And his tendency is more towards laid-back scruffy and articulate when he's not in that kind of mode. I can maybe see him as the Thing, if Michael Chiklis hadn't gotten there first and been the only decent thing about the wretched Final Four adaptations. Or even as Drunk Hulk or Feminist Hulk. But when it comes to the Hulk proper, I always like Ruffalo, even when he's angry.
