Mark Ruffalo talks to HuffPost Live about what drew him to his role in the HBO film adaptation of Larry Kramer's "The Normal Heart":
“I have a lot of compassion for the struggle of people and I was growing up during the AIDS epidemic and I saw how cruel and insensitive people were to these people suffering.
"And it sort of has been forgotten, what happened in our culture during those times...and the small group of people who instituted vast change and brought us to the point today where gay marriage is almost as common as [traditional] marriage right now.
"That was an important story that needed to be told.”
"The Normal Heart" debuts on HBO on May 25th.
