WATCH: Tom Pelphrey Faces Off Against Mark Ruffalo in HBO's Task (VIDEO) originally appeared on Daytime Confidential. A year and a half after it was announced Tom Pelphrey (ex-Jonathan, Guiding Light; ex-Mick, As the World Turns) signed up to headline an HBO project co-starring Mark Ruffalo, that project is about to debut.

There are few more classic premises in the history of storytelling; you can almost hear “The Confrontation” from Les Misérables start to play when Mark Ruffalo faces off with Tom Pelphrey in the new Task trailer.
