Mark Ruffalo is among the ?EUR??,,????'??romantic leads?EUR??,,????'?? portraying landscape architects in filmdom.

Have you noticed that landscape architects have become the vehicles for leading men in today?EUR??,,????'???s ?EUR??,,????'??romantic comedies??EUR??,,????'?? In 2005, ?EUR??,,????'??Just Like Heaven?EUR??,,????'?? stared Reese Witherspoon as a doctor and Mark Ruffalo as a landscape architect?EUR??,,????'??+he builds Reese a rooftop garden, even though she?EUR??,,????'???s both in a coma and a ghost (hey, it?EUR??,,????'???s a movie).

On Feb. 13, 2006, another romantic comedy premiers with a landscape architect as leading man. This one is called ?EUR??,,????'??Something New?EUR??,,????'?? with Kenya McQueen (Sanaa Lathan), an African-American woman and senior manager in an accounting firm who falls for Brian Kelly (Simon Baker), a landscape architect?EUR??,,????'??+who is Caucasian.
