"I didn't have a lot of faith in myself, and it was a struggle," Ruffalo explains when asked if he seriously ever worried about that. "I mean everyone struggles, but I was really hard on myself."

Today, he would say to himself, "You're going to be OK."

Ruffalo is a part of the supporting actors episode and the discussion with fellow actors Edward Norton (Birdman), Josh Brolin (Inherent Vice), J.K. Simmons (Whiplash), and Christoph Waltz (Big Eyes).
