Mark Ruffalo has taken up some real-world knowledge while preparing for his role in the tasks of a new crime drama.
People recently caught up with the actor at the New York City premiere of the show on Thursday, September 4th at the Perelman Performing Arts Center.

I know this because True Star previously told people that he spent time with one person prior to this latest performance in the HBO miniseries.
“I spent a lot of time with FBI agent Scott Duffy, and that’s the least I’ve done,” he said on August 25th with all the president’s men who benefit the West Park center in New York.
The Marvel star also said he was pleased with the Philadelphia food scene where the show will be held. “I ate a lot of Philadelphia cheesesteak sandwiches. I just weighed a lot,” he recalled.
