Mark Ruffalo has joined the cast of Roundabout Theatre Company’s forthcoming winter production of Arthur Miller’s The Price, it was announced Thursday. He’ll be assuming the role originally set to be played by John Turturro, who is departing the production due to conflicts with his filming schedule.

Ruffalo is a Tony nominee for his sole Broadway credit, Lincoln Center’s 2006 revival of Odets’ Awake and Sing!, for which he earned a featured nomination as an orbital Bronx boarder during the Depression.

The Price begins Broadway previews on Feb. 16, opens March 16, and closes May 7 at the American Airlines Theatre; Steppenwolf co-founder Terry Kinney directs.
