“My manager described it as: ‘Paul played Hamlet in a production directed by Sir Ben Kingsley.’ I lived in fear that he [Kingsley] I will see my CV one day! he said.
Rudd’s professional debut was in 1992 on the NBC series Sisters and his breakthrough film in 1995 Distraught. He also played the role of Mike Hannigan in Friends and joined MCU in 2015 as Ant Man.
