He’s been around for years but he’s now everywhere and in leading roles.
Remember him on “Friends”- as Phoebe’s husband Mike?
After making some impact in “Clueless”- speaking which, whatever happened to Alicia Silverstone? – Rudd appeared in a number of those geeky, pimple-assed comedies aimed at the teen market.
Movies like “Forty Days and Nights”, “Knocked Up” and “I Love You Man”.
Today, at 42, and after a few hits, more misses, but being a re-occurring character in shows like “Late Night With Conan O’Brien,” he’s paid his dues and is now bigger than the cast of “Friends”- combined.
Matt “Joey” LeBlanc must be wondering what happened?
How? Why has it happened?
Paul Rudd is “safe” and “commercial”.
He’s the guy next door and the guy who tries but seldom gets laid.
He’s more a voyeur of life.
Having said all this, his appearances on various television talk shows proves that here is an actor with a keen sense of humour.
He’s savvy and is today’s “Get Him!” Actor for films that are not exactly cerebral – but which make a profit at the Box Office.
In the clip below, one sees what Paul Rudd is really capable of- and with the powerful Harvey “Miramax” Weinstein in a co-starring role.
Funny shit.
