'Don't make him hungry'--um 'angry'--Bruce Banner barks at his instigating co-worker. And it's a rule that Liv Tyler's Betty Ross had discovered all too soon, yet she tempts fate, forges ahead and dares to intermingle with both sides of her beloved Bruce (Ed Norton) and his raging green temper, often yielding him a dangerous monstrosity to all--save when in an eye-lock with Betty.
Resilient, private, empathetic, strong, beautiful--smart: meditating on qualities that statuesque actress Liv Tyler brings to the table as Dr. Ross, there's no wonder why casting her is a perfect fit.
So often the supporting role--even in the comic world--merely pushes along the plot, rarely igniting it on the page or screen. Liv, however, lives up to a new standard as the yearning woman who stands by her long-lost man, much to the chagrin of her military father.
Bruce Banner's wrathful alter-ego may be CGI, but Liv's Betty is definitely three-dimensional.
Perhaps, this is due to her staying involved in the filmmaking process. With two films emerging in one month, Liv shared with us while talking about The Strangers, "I actually had a lot of input in The Hulk too. I mean, it's a collaboration, but I don't mean to be cocky about it."
Opposite her mega-talented lead Norton, Liv defies expectations of the 'stand-by-your-man' female character and leaves audiences cheering for the power of tenacity. Yes, we've already witnessed it!
