The Hulk actor went on and described his former classmate\u2019s signature look and said, \u201cHe was the coolest dude. He was the Puerto Rican James Dean\u2026 had his cigarette pack rolled up, his little St. Christopher medal, white T-shirt, cool, distressed jeans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Ruffalo continued down memory lane and revealed one of their very first assignments together. It was to take the lyrics of a song and deliver them as a \u201cserious\u201d monologue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">During this task, Benicio del Toro decided to take up the song \u201cLight My Fire\u201d by The Doors. Ruffalo said that Toro was able to impress everyone with its delivery. Reflecting on the same, he said, \u201cOur first assignment was to take the lyrics of a song and say them to someone\u2014act them out in a serious way. He did \u2018Come on, baby, light my fire\u2019 \u2026 and it was amazing. I was like, \u2018That guy is a star. I don\u2019t even know what I\u2019m doing here.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Questioning him further, Fallon asked what song Ruffalo picked for the same assignment. The actor confessed he did an impression of the \u201cHappy Birthday to You\u201d song.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Ruffalo insisted that his performance was \u201chorrible\u201d compared to what <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/benicio_del_toro1\/?hl=en\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Benicio;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Benicio <\/a>had done before him.
