Mark Ruffalo Shares Larry Kramer THE NORMAL HEART Set Visit Photo

Stage and screen star Mark Ruffalo took to his Twitter account earlier this week to share a candid photo of himself alongside acclaimed playwright and activist Larry Kramer onset of the new HBO film adaptation of Kramer's celebrated AIDS-centric drama THE NORMAL HEART, directed by Ryan Murphy, in which Ruffalo plays the vaguely Kramer-based character Ned Weeks.

Ruffalo writes, on World AIDS Day, "Larry Kramer, still fighting after 30 years. #worldAIDSday We love you Larry. Thanks for your leadership".

In the image, Kramer is seen seated in a wheelchair attended by Ruffalo and co-star Joe Mantello, with other cast and crew members visible in the apartment set of the scene in the background.
