Mark Ruffalo has some enthusiatic praise for Bernie [View all]
This is from an interview, though The Hill has also picked up the story. It's a weird interview because the interviewer tries quite hard to steer Ruffalo toward HRC and away from Bernie by dissing Bernie and his supporters pretty strongly. Ruffalo won't be herded though. I've bolded Ruffalo's comments:

We may have a female president in 2016.
There could be. Unless Bernie Sanders comes in. I don’t know!
I… don’t think so. As someone who went to college up in Maine with a lot of trustafarians who would probably identify as Sanders supporters, when push comes to shove, those people don’t vote. They talk a big game and then on Election Day they stay away from the polls. My generation is just a little bit full of shit. Everyone says they watch Mad Men or see X indie movie, and then you think, “Wait, if everyone is saying they watch this, why is it only getting a million viewers a week, or making a million dollars at the box office?” My generation trades in counterfeit cultural currency.
I don’t know, man! I remember the same thing was being said about Barack Obama. I think Sanders has a message. Hillary’s going to have to adopt Bernie’s message, and I think we’re going to be hearing a lot more from Bernie.
Well, he is one of the only candidates that’s dedicated to cracking down on Wall Street.
Totally. He’s the one. And he’s been there, man. It’s going to be an interesting primary.

And on Republican candidates:
Especially on the Republican side. I didn’t think it could get more insane than 2012, but here we are.
It’s already a clown show. It’s incredible, the shit that comes out of their mouths. They’re going to drive off the cliff! They are, man. It’s out of control. There’s no even censoring it anymore. Americans don’t want billionaires running our government. They just don’t. And they’re sick of it. And they’re aware of it.
