Actor-producer Mark Ruffalo was taken by real-life lawyer Rob Bilott's willingness to sacrifice in order to fight a corporate giant poisoning people.
Mark Ruffalo gets excited when talking about the real story behind the film he has shepherded into existence, “Dark Waters.” The story centers on lawyer Rob Bilott, whose specialty had been defending corporations, especially chemical manufacturers. Shortly after making partner at his firm, he was drawn into a case that put him squarely on the other side.! — what was happening!” Ruffalo says of Bilott’s opposing counsel. “He warned them, ‘This guy is not going away.
“It’s not phrased this way, but it’s a spiritual journey,” says Ruffalo, who plays Bilott in “Dark Waters.” “He’s getting pay cuts. His chance of advancing in that society is suddenly limited. He’s all alone. He’s got stress at home, stress in the community he’s trying to protect. It’s an inner, righteous journey very few human beings are willing to take.”
“Rob’s a very guarded person. He moved around so much as a boy. I see him as a very isolated person from that experience.. Why go to these lengths? He never felt comfortable giving me a complete answer about that. But that deposition scene,” Ruffalo says of a sequence in which Bilott questions DuPont’s CEO on the record and confronts him with evidence of the damage the company is doing. “‘What are you doing in this scene, what are you after? Yes, it’s a deposition, that’s happening.
“There’s the Hollywood version, where Rob’s the impenetrable superhero and does the speech and you never see him falter. Then there’s the honest version of it, which is a guy who’s not your typical hero making this journey. Todd, we both said, ‘Let’s just tell the truth. Even if it isn’t expeditious for us. Even if it isn’tLet’s just keep hauling it down to the real people and the real experience.’ That was my guiding light, my North Star, and it was Todd’s, too.
