"The role is about a man who is nothing like Davis (i.e. a Kramer surrogate/proxy). "
And the casting of that role WAY against type was carried forward to the movie of THE NORMAL HEART. Mark Ruffalo's acting was wonderful, of course, but he was very miscast in the role of Ned Weeks -- that is, if you feel the character should have at least a general resemblance to Kramer in terms of type. |
