Paul Stephen Rudd was born on April 6, 1969, in Passaic, New Jersey, to English Jewish parents.[3][4] His father, Michael Rudd (1943–2008), was a historical tour guide and former vice-president of TWA.[5][6][7] His mother, Gloria Irene Granville, was a sales manager at television station KSMO-TV in Kansas City, Missouri.[8][9] They were both from London, his father hailing from Edgware and his mother from Surbiton,[10][11] and both were descended from Ashkenazi Jewish immigrants who moved to England from Belarus, Poland and Russia.[8][12][13][3][14][15][16] His grandfather changed his paternal family's original surname, Rudnitsky, to Rudd. His maternal family's surname was Goldstein; his parents were second cousins.[16][17] Rudd had a Bar Mitzvah service[8][18] in Ontario, Canada.[19] Growing up, he loved reading the British comics The Beano and The Dandy, which his uncle sent him from the United Kingdom.[20]

When Rudd was ten, his family moved to Lenexa in Johnson County, Kansas. Because of his father's occupation, they also spent three years in Anaheim, California.[21][22][23] In Kansas, Rudd attended Broadmoor Junior High and graduated from Shawnee Mission West High School in 1987. He placed 5th in Humorous Interpretation at the 1987 National Forensics League National Tournament.[24] He attended the University of Kansas, where he majored in theater[25] and belonged to the Sigma Nu fraternity's Nu Chapter.[26] He studied at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts,[27] with fellow actor Matthew Lillard.[25] He also spent three months studying Jacobean drama at the British American Drama Academy in Oxford.[28][29] While at acting school, he worked as a DJ at bar mitzvahs.[30] After graduation, he had a variety of odd jobs, including glazing hams at the Holiday Ham Company in Overland Park.[31]

He guest-starred as a has-been 1990s rock star, Desmond Fellows, on the television series Veronica Mars, in the 2007 episode "Debasement Tapes".

The year 2004 marked the start of Rudd's work with director/producer Judd Apatow, first on the film Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy as Brian Fantana with Steve Carell, David Koechner and Will Ferrell, produced by Apatow; and again in 2005 in The 40-Year-Old Virgin with Carell and Seth Rogen, directed by Apatow. He subsequently appeared in Apatow in 2007's Knocked Up as frustrated husband Pete, married to Leslie Mann's character,[34] co-starring with Jason Segel, Jonah Hill, Seth Rogen and Jay Baruchel. He narrated the 2007 edition of the long-running sports documentary series Hard Knocks, which featured the Kansas City Chiefs, whom he continues to support. It was the only season not to feature the series' regular narrator, Liev Schreiber.

Rudd appeared as John Lennon in the comedy film Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story in 2007;[33] and as a drug-addled surf instructor in Nicholas Stoller's Forgetting Sarah Marshall in 2008 with Jason Segel and Jonah Hill, both of which Apatow produced.[35] Rudd had uncredited cameos in Year One (2009) and Bridesmaids (2011).

In 2007, he starred in The Oh in Ohio and The Ten, which reunited him with David Wain and Michael Showalter,[36] and then in Over Her Dead Body with Eva Longoria the next year. In his next comedy which he also wrote, Role Models, he and co-star Seann William Scott portray energy drink salesmen forced to perform community service in a child mentoring program.[37]

In 2009, Rudd again appeared with Jason Segel in I Love You, Man where he and Segel play buddies who bond over their shared love for the rock band Rush. Both Rudd and Segel are themselves fans of the band.[38][39] Also in 2009, Rudd co-created the TV series Party Down with John Embom, Rob Thomas and Dan Etheridge.[33] He lent his voice to the DreamWorks animated movie Monsters Vs. Aliens.

In 2010, Rudd reunited with Steve Carell for the first time since The 40-Year-Old Virgin for the Jay Roach-directed comedy Dinner for Schmucks. In 2012, he had a supporting role in the drama The Perks of Being a Wallflower, playing Mr. Anderson, a teacher of Charlie, played by Logan Lerman. He starred in the 2011 comedy-drama film Our Idiot Brother with Elizabeth Banks, Zooey Deschanel, and Emily Mortimer.[40] It was the fifth film that Rudd starred in with Elizabeth Banks. He had previously appeared with her in Wet Hot American Summer (2001), The Baxter (2005), The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005) and Role Models (2008).[41]

In 2012, Rudd signed to appear on four episodes of NBC's Parks and Recreation as Bobby Newport, a candidate for City Council and a rival of Amy Poehler's character Leslie Knope, a role for which he won the Critics' Choice Television Award for Best Guest Performer in a Comedy Series.[42] In 2014, he began providing voiceovers for Hyundai television commercials. He has also voiced the audiobook recordings of John Hodgman's books The Areas of My Expertise (2005) and More Information Than You Require (2008).[43][44]

Rudd at the premiere of Ant-Man in 2015

On December 19, 2013, Rudd was officially confirmed as cast in the 2015 Marvel film Ant-Man. He played lead character Scott Lang/Ant-Man.[45][46][47][48][49] Rudd reprised his role in Captain America: Civil War (2016)[50] as well as Ant-Man's 2018 sequel, Ant-Man and the Wasp; he also co-wrote the latter.[51][52] Rudd returned alongside Evangeline Lilly in Avengers: Endgame (2019), which received critical acclaim and went on to become the highest-grossing film of all time. He reprised his role in 2023 with Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.

Rudd reprised his role as Andy from Wet Hot American Summer in the Netflix prequel Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp, alongside an ensemble cast including Bradley Cooper, Amy Poehler and Elizabeth Banks, all reprising their roles from the 2001 film. In 2016, he appeared in the comedy-drama film The Fundamentals of Caring, alongside Selena Gomez, and lent his voice to the animated films The Little Prince and Sausage Party. He also lent his voice to a struggling actor named John in the animated comedy film Nerdland (2016), alongside Patton Oswalt.[53][54] Rudd was also cast as the lead in The Catcher Was a Spy (2018), playing Moe Berg, a catcher for the Boston Red Sox who joined the OSS during World War II. In August 2018, Rudd was cast in Netflix's comedy series Living with Yourself, alongside Aisling Bea.[55][56] He also executive produced the series, which premiered on October 18, 2019.[57][58][59] He also appeared in season 3 of Hulu's comedy mystery series Only Murders in the Building.[60]

From 2004 until 2021, during all appearances on the late night comedy shows hosted by comedian Conan O'Brien, when promoting his projects Rudd would explain the clip that is about to be shown, but would then throw to a clip from the 1988 movie Mac and Me instead. Rudd admitted that he "never imagined" that the running gag would last so long. "There's something so tricky about it. Cause here I am. I'm gonna sell my wares on TV. Like, 'Here's something from what I just filmed.' It just seemed—and still does to a large extent—kind of insincere," he said.[61] Rudd continued the tradition by deceiving Conan with an audio version of the prank on a 2022 episode of the podcast Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend, "Paul Rudd Returns".[62]

In 2024, Rudd received two nominations at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards; for his role as a murder victim in the mystery series Only Murders in the Building he was one of the nominees for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series, while his narration in the National Geographic documentary series Secrets of the Octopus earned him a nomination for Outstanding Narrator.[63]

Theater

[edit]

Rudd has also appeared in Broadway plays, the first being The Last Night of Ballyhoo as Joe Farkas in 1997.[64] The next year he appeared in Twelfth Night with Kyra Sedgwick and Max Wright at the Lincoln Center Theatre.[65] In 2006, he appeared in the Broadway production of Richard Greenberg's Three Days of Rain with Bradley Cooper and Julia Roberts at the Bernard Jacobs Theater.[66] In 2012, Rudd appeared in the Broadway production of Craig Wright's Grace at the Cort Theatre, with Academy Award nominee Michael Shannon, Kate Arrington, and seven-time Emmy Award winner Ed Asner.

In 2000–2001, Rudd was in a production of Long Day's Journey Into Night with Jessica Lange, Charles Dance and Olivia Colman, at the Lyric Theatre, London. In 2001, he starred as Adam in the original London production of Neil LaBute's The Shape of Things, and again Off-Broadway for three months starting in October 2001. Two years later, a film version was made with the same cast.

Personal life

[edit]

In 2003, Rudd married Julie Yaeger,[67] whom he met (shortly after working on Clueless) in his publicist's office, where she worked.[68] She has since become a screenwriter and producer.[69] They live in Rhinebeck, New York, with their two children: a son born in 2006 and a daughter born in 2010.[70]

Rudd is a fan of MLB's Kansas City Royals,[71] Kansas Jayhawks sports, and the NFL's Kansas City Chiefs, for whom he narrated the 2007 season of HBO's Hard Knocks.[72] Rudd has also narrated the Chiefs' annual Super Bowl recap episodes of America's Game: The Super Bowl Champions in 2020, 2023, and 2024.[73]

Rudd received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on July 1, 2015, unveiling the 2,554th star on the mile-long strip of plaques on Hollywood Boulevard. He said, "I remember being a kid and walking this boulevard and reading the names and thinking about what so many other millions of people thought about, which is, you know, 'Who's that?'"[74]

Since 2014, Rudd and fellow actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan have been co-owners of Samuel's Sweet Shop, a candy store in Rhinebeck, New York that they saved from closing when the previous owner, a friend of theirs, died unexpectedly.[75]

Rudd's seemingly ageless appearance has been subject to numerous jokes and memes; this has even been referenced in Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) where Deadpool and Wolverine stumble upon Giant-Man's corpse, prompting the former to say "Paul Rudd finally aged!"[76] Responding to the jokes, Rudd has explained that sleep, diet, and exercise are his holy grail of anti-aging. He reported that eight hours of sleep, along with cardio, exercise with weights, and healthy meals, make it possible for him to defy aging.[77]

Rudd identifies as Jewish, although he has also admitted that he is not "particularly religious."[78]

Philanthropy and advocacy

[edit]

Rudd is a supporter of the Stuttering Association for the Young (SAY), a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping young people who stutter. He hosted its 6th Annual All-Star Bowling Benefit on January 22, 2018.[79] He told Vanity Fair that he became an advocate for stuttering awareness after portraying a character who stuttered in a play.[80] Also, he is a founder of The Big Slick, a celebrity charity sports event held in Kansas City each June that supports Kansas City's Children's Mercy Hospital.

Rudd was part of Seth Rogen's Hilarity for Charity, to increase awareness and investment in Alzheimer's research.[81]
