Sterling Point’s Keen Ruffalo Reveals Mark Ruffalo’s Reaction to Him Acting

“I wasn’t auditioning at the start, obviously. My dad didn’t want to hand me or my siblings anything because it’s just not how he was raised,” he shared in an interview with Cultured published Aug. 4. “So I went to a couple of the major schools and studied different acting techniques. I’m a huge nerd when it comes to acting technique. That’s my bread and butter. I could go on for hours about it.”

As for a notable turning point? When Mark—also dad to Bella, 21, and Odette, 18, with Sunrise—saw his son in action.

“[He] came and saw one of my plays one day, and he’s like, ‘All right, I think you’re ready to do this,’ after I’d studied for a year or two,’” Keen recalled. “Then, it took me another three years of still taking classes and auditions to finally land Nimrods and Sterling Point. I’d probably done at that point upwards of 100 auditions.”
