after enjoying his take on Bruce Banner and reading about what a down to earth person he is in real life, I can't not picture him playing Colombo
when I was ~12yd old I was lucky to find myself hitting golf balls @ a driving range golf course in Studio City (or was it North Hollywood as my brain is fuzzy in my 50-mumble years).. Who comes along into the spot next tome but Peter Falk. We eventually started talking about golf... one thing led to another & he asked me to play the front 9 with him. We had a blast... I share that anecdote because Ruffalo constantly reminds me of how genuine & humble Falk was in real life.
I think Ruffalo has the tools & make-up to bring a similar but fresh take to the dective Colombo character, Perhaps even enough for a feature film. It really was his portrayal of Banner which confirmed it for me.
Unlike many I seem to just enjoy Ruffalo's characters because to me he does not come across as if he's playing a character...that's something I am drawn to in actors.
