It's the paycheck Mark Ruffalo, and it's the job.

The guy who will play the hulk in the avengers movie is coming out of the political closet and taking the brave step, (yeah, right) of saying that actors aren't supporting OWS because they are afraid for their jobs. It is in the article, but once again, why insult half of your audience?

Ruffalo embraces the same false narrative echoed during the Bush era – actors who speak out could somehow be punished for their comments. Celebrities did just that for eight solid years against President George W. Bush in clear defiance of Limbaugh.

Ruffalo is actually right in one respect. Audiences will turn away from actors who embrace extremist causes. The Hollywood Reporter’s own staff proved this recently. If consumers decided not to support stars who insult their politics, well, that’s another matter.
But can you imagine a studio, director or casting agent pondering a particular actor for a role and dismissing them for being chummy with anti-capitalist types?
