Welcome back to the Deep Dive. Today we're taking
on a subject who, well, seems to defy time itself,
doesn't he? And maybe conventional career paths,
too. He really does. Paul Rudd. Impossibly consistent,
undeniably charming, and as we'll get into, surprisingly
multifaceted. Yeah, this is a really compelling
mission for us, I think, because Paul Rudd, he
sort of occupies this unique space in Hollywood.
Like duality. Exactly. The reliable ensemble
guy, the supporting player for years, right?
And then somehow in his late 40s, he pivots and
becomes the lead, the absolute anchor of a massive
superhero franchise. It's quite the jump. It
is. So today we're aiming to go beyond just the
Ant -Man suit. We want to uncover the specifics,
those surprisingly global roots he has, and really
dig into the work ethic that seems to be behind
that famous natural charm. Okay, let's start
grounding this with some foundational stats that
kind of illustrate that strange duality you mentioned.
Right. Paul Stephen Rudd, born April 6, 1969,
Passaic, New Jersey. His acting debut way back
in 1991. 1991. Just think about that longevity.
It's astounding. And it's not like he picked
early. He's getting major recognition right now.
Like the Forbes Celebrity 100 list in 2019. Yeah.
Serious financial and cultural impact. Huge impact.
And then, you know, that pop culture moment in
2021. People magazine's sexiest man alive. Can't
forget that one. You really can't. And this is
a guy whose career stretches from like. indie
cult films all the way to these global blockbusters.
And crucially, it's not just about the blockbusters
or the comedy, even though that's his main brand.
If you dig into the sources, his resume is quietly
picking up some serious awards buzz. That's a
really important point. He already has a Critics'
Choice Television Award. Yeah. Specifically for
guest work, which is interesting. Yeah. And then
more recently, the prestige stuff is getting
noticed. A Golden Globe nomination for Living
With Yourself, that dual role was tough. Very
tough. Two Screen Actors Guild Awards across
his career. And just this year, 2024, two Primetime
Emmy nominations. And they're for completely
different kinds of performance. Right. recent
duality, the serious recognition alongside the
franchise stuff. That's really why we're doing
this deep dive, isn't it? Exactly. Our mission
then is to trace his path kind of chronologically.
We want to reveal how this blends of intense
classical training and that very natural self
-deprecating humor created someone so authentic
he could conquer IMTRAV comedy and the MCU. Okay,
so to really get the Paul Rudd origin story,
we've got to push past that image, you know,
the always cheerful Midwest guy. The sources
paint a much more global picture. They really
do. Yeah, he was born in New Jersey, sure, but
his parents were English Jewish immigrants. That's
foundational, isn't it? Yeah. Must have shaped
his early cultural world quite a bit. Absolutely.
His father, Michael Rudd, he passed away in 2008,
had this really interesting job, historical tour
guide for TWA. Transworld Airlines. Okay. That
explains some moving around, maybe. Definitely.
And his mother, Gloria Irene Granville, she was
a sales manager at KSMO TV, the station in Kansas
City, Missouri. So, the English connection is
strong, but they settled in the U .S. Can you
give us the specifics on the London roots? I
find this fascinating. Both parents, yeah. Originally
from London, his dad from Edgware, his mom from
Surbiton. Wow. But it goes deeper. Their families
were descended from Ashkenazi Jewish immigrants
who'd come to England from Eastern Europe. We're
talking Belarus, Poland. Russia. That is not
the typical Hollywood backstory. Not at all.
And this detail from the sources just kind of
blew me away. His parents were second cousins.
No way. Really? Yeah. It points to how tight
-knit those immigrant communities were back then,
you know, settling in England. That makes sense.
Yeah. So this rich global heritage, it was part
of his childhood even growing up mostly in the
States. Seems like it. We know he loved reading
British comics, The Beano and The Dandy. His
uncle used to send them over. That's a great
detail. And he even had his bar mitzvah service
in Ontario, Canada. Maybe something to do with
his dad's TWA travel schedule. Could be. OK,
so lots of international threads. But Kansas,
Kansas is where he really became, well, Paul
Rudd, as we know him. Right. The family moved
to Lenexa, Kansas. That's in Johnson County when
he was 10, though they did have a three year
stint in Anaheim, California again because of
his father's job. Kansas stuck. Yeah. He graduated
from Shawnee Mission West High School in 87.
And the sources mentioned something interesting
about high school, not just acting, but forensics.
Yeah. competitive public speaking. Specifically,
he placed fifth nationally in humorous interpretation
in 1987. Humorous interpretation. OK, for those
listening who aren't familiar, what exactly is
that and why is it maybe important for his career
later? That's a great question. Humorous interpretation
or H .I., it's basically performing a funny piece
like from a play or a story totally solo. No
props, no costumes. It's all about your voice,
your physical comedy, your timing. You have to
make it work. It's like. Competitive charisma
training, but disciplined. I like that. Disciplined
charisma. Exactly. It teaches you comedic timing,
how to hold a stage. Perfect training for ensemble
comedy, right? Where timing is everything. Makes
total sense. So he's got this competitive edge
and he keeps going academically. University of
Kansas, majoring in theater, joined the Sigma
Nu fraternity too. But his training didn't stop
there. He got serious about it. Right after KU.
He studied at the American Academy of Dramatic
Arts in New York, a prestigious place. Actually
studied alongside Matthew Lillard there. Oh,
interesting connection. Yeah. But the real kicker,
the thing that maybe separates him from a lot
of other comedians is the international study.
He went to England, right? Oxford. He did. Spent
three months studying Jacobean drama at the British
American Drama Academy in Oxford. Jacobean drama.
Okay, we're talking serious complex stuff. Plays
written right after Shakespeare. Exactly. Intense
tragedy, satire, really heightened language.
Think Webster, Middleton. So why does studying
like complex tragedy help you when you... You
end up in Anchorman. Well, I think it gives you
gravitas. You know, if you can handle that language,
those big emotions, you have the tools to anchor
anything, even something totally absurd. Oh,
OK. It gives depth. Yeah. The technical skill,
the emotional weight. It means later on he could
handle dramatic roles or maybe more importantly,
carry a massive franchise like Ant -Man. Scott
Lang isn't just jokes, right? There's heart there.
True. All that classical training, though. Must
have cost a bit. How did he actually pay for
it all? This is where the biography gets really
good. The sources give us two amazing sort of
contrasting jobs he had. Okay, let's hear them.
While he was at acting school, he worked as a
DJ for bar mitzvahs. Get out! Seriously, imagine
like... Studying intense drama all day, then
spinning records and leading the horror at night.
That's incredible range right there. And it gets
even better, or maybe just more specific. After
he graduated, he had this job that sounds like
it's straight out of one of his comedies. He
worked glazing hams. Glazing hams. At the Holiday
Ham Company in Overland Park, Kansas. Just picture
it. The future movie star carefully applying
glaze to holiday hams. Wow. That is perfect.
It somehow captures the whole grounded, unexpected
journey. Doesn't it? Glazing hams to fund a career
built on, like, Shakespearean rigor and competitive
charisma. It really sets the stage for the kind
of performer he became. So, okay, he's got the
education, that mix of precise timing from forensics,
the seriousness of Jacobean drama, and the practical
skills of ham glazing. Can't forget the ham glazing.
Never. He officially launches his screen career
in the early 90s. Yeah. But maybe not with the
kind of role you'd expect after all that training.
No. The very first credit our sources list is
a commercial from 1991 promoting the Super Nintendo.
And here's where his career feels almost surreal,
right? Because he actually referenced that exact
commercial decades later in like 2025 for the
Nintendo Switch 2. That's amazing. Talk about
coming full circle. It really is. It's part of
his appeal, I think. Before the big movie break,
though. He had a pretty significant run on TV.
a recurring role on Sisters, the drama series,
started in 92. Yeah, Kirby Quimby Philby, quite
a name. He stayed with that show until 1995,
getting that experience, you know, the grind
of weekly television. In 1995, that was a pivotal
year, wasn't it? Huge year. He left Sisters and
starred in Clueless. Clueless, playing Josh,
the charming, smart, maybe slightly cooler, older
stepbrother to Alicia Silverstone's chair. He
instantly became like... The guy who could do
witty dialogue and just project warmth. A certain
kind of leading man was born there. But what's
interesting, and maybe people forget, is how
quickly he followed that rom -com success with
totally different genres. He didn't seem to want
to get stuck. Not at all. That same year, 1995,
boom, he's in a horror movie, Halloween. The
Curse of Michael Myers, playing Tommy Doyle,
the character from the original. Right. And then
the next year, 96, he's back in that heightened
language world with Baz Luhrmann's Romeo Plus
Juliet. So within, like, two years of Clueless,
he hits teen comedy, slasher horror, and Shakespeare.
It's like he was showing Hollywood, OK, I can
do all of this. He kept up the ensemble work,
too. By 99, he was in The Cider House Rules.
Yeah. That cast got a SAG nomination, right?
Yep. Proving he could be a key piece in a successful
group, a team player. And that foundation, being
good in an ensemble, it really paved the way
for the Judd Apatow era, didn't it? That kicked
off around 2004 with Anchorman. Anchorman, the
legend of Ron Burgundy. Brian Fantana, cologne
connoisseur, Sex Panther. His delivery is just
so deadpan, plays it completely straight amidst
the chaos. And that's the key, I think, to his
success in that whole Apatow world. He could
be the calm center, the professional straight
man. Letting guys like Farrell or Carell or Rojan
just go wild. Exactly. Knowing Rudd would hold
it together, that partnership really defined
the mid -2000s comedies. The 40 -year -old virgin
in 05, then knocked up in her 7, which Apatow
wrote and directed. And his character Pete in
Knocked Up with Leslie Mann. That relationship
felt so real, so recognizable. So much so that
it led to this spinoff, This Is 40, in 2012,
just focusing on them. He was kind of the secret
sauce in that whole scene, wasn't he? Popping
up everywhere. Totally. Often uncredited, he
was John Lennon in Walk Hard, the surf instructor
who knew and forgetting Sarah Marshall. Little
parts in year one, bridesmaids. It wasn't about
grabbing the spotlight. No, it seemed more about
just being part of the funniest stuff happening.
Collaborating. And while all this film comedy
is taking off, he lands this massive TV role
that probably made him a household name globally.
Mike Hannigan on Friends. Crucial. Absolutely
crucial timing. From 2002 to 2004, Friends was
arguably the biggest show in the world. And Mike
wasn't just a guest star. He dates and marries
Phoebe. A main character. Right. It exposed him
to this enormous audience, showed he could handle
that long -form romantic storyline just before
his film career fully exploded. And then there's
the weirder side of his collaborations. Like
Reno 911. Oh yeah, he fully embraced the absurdity
there. Guy Garrical, the LeMay's coach. Utterly
ridiculous. And he was in the movie too, right?
Reno 911? No. Miami? Yep. As a drug lord. It
just shows his range, you know? Comfortably switching
between friends and that kind of niche improv
heavy comedy. We also have to talk about the
wet hot American summer connection. Yes. the
ultimate cult classic, started with the movie
in 2001 where he played Andy, the sort of bad
boy counselor. And the amazing thing is he came
back for the Netflix series years later. He did.
First day of camp in 2015 and the other follow
ups. It shows this real loyalty, doesn't it,
to the projects and the people who were there
early on, no matter how big he got. Speaking
of collaborators, his chemistry with Jason Segel
in I Love You, Man. That movie really worked.
It did. And that whole Rush subplot? Apparently
that was real. They're both actual huge Rush
fans. Yeah, the sources say so. Which probably
added that layer of genuine connection to their
friendship on screen. Made it feel relatable.
He also worked with Elizabeth Banks a ton. Five
films together. Let's see. Wet Hot, The Baxter,
40 -Year -Old Virgin, Role Models, Our Idiot
Brother. Yeah, five. That says a lot, right?
That people wanted to keep working with him.
Reliable, funny, professional. Definitely speaks
volumes about his reputation within the industry.
And then to kind of cap off this phase, his guest
spot on Parks and Recreation. Probably Newport.
Bobby Newport's never had a real job in his life.
He was brilliant. So perfectly dim -witted but
charming. Appeared in four episodes as Leslie
Noak's rival. And that role won him an award,
didn't it? It did. The Critics' Choice Television
Award for Best Guest Performer in a Comedy Series
in 2012. It was like the final proof. Paul Rudd
could walk into any comedy universe and just
instantly kill it. Comedy MVP. Okay, so by the
early 2010s, Paul Rudd is basically the king
of ensemble comedy, the go -to straight man.
What's the next step? Apparently, it's becoming
a global superhero lead. Which still feels slightly
audacious, right? Moving from supporting player
to anchoring an MCU franchise. Totally audacious.
But the announcement came in December 2013. He
was officially Scott Lang, Ant -Man. Now looking
back, it was kind of genius casting by Marvel,
wasn't it? I think so. They needed someone who
could handle the high -tech stuff, Pym Particles,
Quantum Realm, but keep it light, grounded, accessible,
especially after some of the heavier stuff with
Iron Man and Cap. Rudd's persona, that sort of
good -natured everyman was perfect. He makes
talking to ants feel, well, almost normal. Right.
And he became indispensable pretty quickly. The
sources list five MCU films he's been central
to. Let's list them. Ant -Man in 2015, the first
one. Then Captain America, Civil War in 2016,
where he joined the wider Avengers world. Ant
-Man and the Wasp in 2018, Avengers, Endgame
in 19, huge role there. Crucial role. And then
Ant -Man and the Wasp, Quantumania in 2023. But
the sources point out something really key beyond
just acting in these. His creative input. Yes.
He co -wrote the script for Ant -Man and the
Wasp. That's significant. It wasn't just delivering
lines Marvel gave him. Exactly. It means his
comedic sensibility, his timing, his way of finding
humor in those crazy situations. It was baked
into the franchise itself. He wasn't just an
actor. He was a creative partner. And he's not
done with Marvel. Sources say he's set for Avengers.
Doomsday in 2026. Right. His tenure continues.
This leap into blockbusters wasn't just Marvel
either. He jumped into another huge legacy franchise,
Ghostbusters. Mm -hmm. Took on the role of Gary
Gruberson, the seismologist summer school teacher
in Ghostbusters, Afterlife in 2021. Sort of the
audience's way into the news story. Perfectly
cast for that. And he came back for Frozen Empire
in 2024, cementing his place in that universe
too. He's good at being the guy who's suitably
impressed by all the weirdness, which helps ground
it for us. But even with these massive franchises
taking off, he didn't abandon the other side
of the skill set, that classical training we
talked about. No, he kept a foot in dramatic
work, like his supporting role in The Perks of
Being a Wallflower back in 2012. And he started
doing a lot more voice work, too, didn't he?
Leveraging that distinct warm voice. Definitely.
Credits like DreamWorks Monsters vs. Aliens,
The Little Prince adaptation, Seth Rogen's very
R -rated Sausage Party. A different vibe there.
Very different. And also an animated film called
Nerdland in 2016, playing a struggling actor.
Plus, commercially. His voice became super familiar.
He's been the voice of Hyundai commercials for
ages, right? Since 2014. Nearly a decade. It's
that reliable, approachable sound. It works.
He even did audiobooks. John Hodgman's comedic
almanacs. Yeah. The areas of my expertise and
more information than you require. Again, it's
that perfect straight man delivery making Hodgman's
absurd writing even funnier. Which brings us
to his more recent and really significant success
in prestige TV. This is where you see the dramatic
depth really shine. Absolutely. Living With Yourself
on Netflix in 2019. He starred and executive
produced. Playing two roles, himself and his
clone. That's a huge acting challenge. Immense
challenge. Requires so much technical skill and
emotional control. And it got him that Golden
Globe nomination. Big deal. He followed that
with the Shrink Next Door miniseries in 2021.
Right. And then the ultimate proof of his range,
I think, comes with the 2024 Emmy nominations.
Two noms in the same year. For wildly different
things. That's what's stunning. One was for Outstanding
Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for... only
murders in the building. Where he played Ben
Glenroy, the actor who gets murdered in episode
one. Exactly. The victim. But he's central to
the whole season through flashbacks. It says
a lot about his star power that he could be the
murder victim and still be such a presence. And
the second Emmy nomination that year. Couldn't
be more different. Totally different world. Outstanding
narrator for a National Geographic documentary
series, Secrets of the Octopus. Wow. Think about
that. From the arrogant, murdered actor in a
comedy mystery to the authoritative warm voice
explaining octopus intelligence for Nat Geo,
all in the same awards year. It really seals
it, doesn't it? He can genuinely command both
ends of the spectrum, high comedy and serious
nonfiction. So we've got this picture of Rudd
as a man of contrast, huge action, subtle comedy.
But underpinning the serious side, it seems,
is that consistent commitment to the stage, going
right back to that Oxford training. That's got
to be a huge part of his resilience, right? He
didn't just ditch the theater once Hollywood
called. He uses it, I think, to keep his skills
sharp. He did Broadway early on, The Last Night
of Ballyhoo in 97. And he kept going back to
major productions. In 2006, he was in Three Days
of Rain, star -studded cast there, Julia Roberts,
Bradley Cooper. Wow. And then Grace in 2012 with
Michael Shannon and Ed Asner. Yeah. Working with
really intense, respected actors, that's serious
stuff. His stage work wasn't just Broadway either.
He worked in London, too. He did. Back in 2000,
2001, he was in Long Day's Journey and Tonight
over there. And then also in 2001, he was part
of creating a new play, Neil LaButte's The Shape
of Things. originated the role of Adam in the
London production. And that play became a movie
later, right? With the same cast. Exactly. That
kind of continuity, keeping the original stage
cast for the film, really shows how valued he
was as a collaborator in that theater setting.
And this dedication to theater, the sources connected
directly to some of his charity work, don't they?
Yes, specifically his advocacy for stuttering
awareness. Apparently it started after he played
a character who stuttered in a play. That's powerful.
Taking the experience from a role and turning
it into real world action. It really is. Supporting
the stuttering association for the young, I say.
Okay, so we have this foundation of serious classical
stage work existing side by side with perhaps
the greatest running gag in late night television
history. Oh, the Mac and Me prank. It's legendary.
An art form in itself. It went on for so long.
Oh, okay. Two decades. From 2004 all the way
to 2021. Exclusively. on Conan O 'Brien's shows.
Just pure comedic disruption. Can you walk us
through how it worked for anyone who might have
missed this masterpiece? Okay, so every single
time Paul Rudd came on Conan's show to promote
a movie... Didn't matter if it was Anchorman
or Ant -Man or whatever they'd chat, build up
to the plug. Conan would say something like,
let's take a look at a clip. Exactly. And instead
of showing a clip from Rudd's actual new movie,
Rudd would cue up the exact same scene from this
terrible 1988 E .T. knockoff movie called Mac
and Me. The scene where the kid in the wheelchair
goes flying off a cliff into the water is so
jarring and bizarre. Totally bizarre. And it's
such a brilliant piece of like anti -promotion.
said he'd do it because selling his movies on
TV felt kind of insincere. So this was his protest,
his way of saying, I'm not taking this seriously.
Pretty much. And the genius was the commitment.
Conan played the straight man perfectly. acting
outraged every single time it became this thing
the audience was in on like a secret handshake
totally rudd said he never imagined it would
go on for so long became this hilarious commentary
on celebrity interviews and honestly it probably
made people love him more than any real movie
clip could have it went viral before things really
went viral online absolutely and it didn't even
stop when conan's tv show ended right it followed
him to the podcast world yep in 2022 rudge The
commitment is just astounding. It tells you so
much about his sense of humor, that slightly
rebellious streak under the nice guy exterior.
Okay, moving away from the career stuff to his
personal life, he seems to have kept things pretty
balanced, pretty grounded, despite the fame.
He married Julie Yeager back in 2003. Right.
And they met, apparently, in his publicist's
office where she was working at the time, which
feels like a very non -Hollywood, meet -cute
kind of story. Yeah, it does. She's a screenwriter
and producer now, too, right? Mm -hmm. They live
up in Rhyndeck, New York. Nice town. Apparently,
a few celebs live up there. And they have two
kids, a son born in 2006, daughter in 2010. But
the sources really emphasize that while he lives
in New York, his heart seems to still be in the
Midwest, specifically Kansas City. That loyalty
is huge for him. Oh, absolutely central to who
he is. He is a massive vocal fan of Kansas City
sports, the Royals and baseball. University of
Kansas Jayhawks. And, of course, the NFL's Kansas
City Chiefs. His connection to the Chiefs is
especially visible. He's basically become the
voice of the Chiefs' success, hasn't he? Pretty
much. He narrated their season of HBO's Hard
Knocks back in 2007, which is interesting because
that was the only season the regular narrator,
Liev Schreiber, didn't do it. That says a lot
about the teen's connection with him. It does.
And more recently, he's narrated the Chiefs Super
Bowl recap episodes for America's Game for their
wins in 2020, 2023 and 2024. He is the voice
of those victories. OK, now for the detail that
I think perfectly shows that weird blend of huge
fame and small town loyalty. The candy shop.
Samuel's Sweet Shop in Rhinebeck. Since 2014,
he co -owns it with another actor, Jeffrey Dean
Morgan. And this wasn't just like, hey, let's
open a candy store because we're famous. There
was a reason. A really touching reason, actually.
The previous owner was a friend of theirs and
he passed away unexpectedly. They bought the
shop to save it from closing down to keep his
memory going in the community. That's incredible.
Just trying to picture the logistics, you know,
Ant -Man flying around the globe, but also making
sure the local candy store is OK. It completely
reinforces that grounded image, doesn't it? Like
you could actually walk into Samuels and maybe
find one of the owners there, the guy who also
narrates documentaries about octopuses. It's
this deliberate choice to stay connected locally.
Speaking of image, we have to talk about the
elephant in the room or maybe the ageless man
in the room. The Paul Rudd doesn't age. phenomenon
yes the memes are everywhere it's a whole sub
-genre of internet culture it's so pervasive
it even made it into the mcu itself didn't it
it did sources confirm in deadpool and wolverine
from 2024 deadpool finds giant man's corpse and
quips paul rudd finally aged when the joke makes
it into your own movie universe you know it's
big he's become a cultural landmark for not aging
so what's the secret Has he finally revealed
the fountain of youth? According to Rudd himself,
it's disappointingly sensible. No magic involved.
Just discipline. Which actually tracks with everything
else we know about his training and work ethic.
He says it's eight hours of sleep, cardio, weights,
healthy eating. So the superhero look comes from
actual hard work. Who knew? Boring. Right. But
probably true. Beyond the discipline in the candy
shop, his charity work also seems to back up
that good guy image. We mentioned the stuttering
advocacy. Yeah, but his really big passion project
seems to be the Big Slick. He founded it. It's
this huge celebrity charity sports event in Kansas
City every year. Raising money for the Children's
Mercy Hospital there. Exactly. It's another way
he brings his Hollywood network back to help
his home community. Really tangible impact. He
also supports Seth Rogen's charity, Hilarity
for Charity for Alzheimer's Research. Seems focused
on kids and health causes. Consistently, yeah.
And finally, just touching on identity, he identifies
as Jewish but has said he's not particularly
religious. But there was this interesting little
moment when he was promoting Ghostbusters, Frozen
Empire. Someone asked him who he'd talk to. from
history if he could his answer jesus oh interesting
choice for someone not particularly religious
right it just adds another layer to this complex
thoughtful guy beneath the charming surface hashtag
tag outro synthesizing the deep dive wow okay
what a journey we've covered from uh bar mitzvah
dj and holiday ham glazer don't forget the second
cousin english immigrant parents right through
competitive speaking, Jacobean drama, all the
way to co -writing MCU films and owning a small
town candy shop, is quite the arc. It really
is. And I think the so what of it all, the key
takeaway, is that his career is this master class
in balancing opposites. Oh, so? Well, you've
got the deep technical commitment to the craft.
The stage work, the dramatic range, that's the
foundation. Okay. But it's perfectly paired with
this self -deprecating humor, this refusal to
take the whole fame thing too seriously, like
the Mac and Me gag. That went on for 20 years.
The ultimate example. Exactly. And that blend
of, like, sincerity about the work but mockery
of the promotion, it creates this incredible
authenticity, makes him seem approachable even
when he is, you know, Ant -Man. And the Kansas
City connection, the charity stuff, the candy
store, it all reinforces that grounded feeling.
Totally. Formerly recognized, of course, got
his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame back in
2015, number 2 ,554. And his quote when he got
it was so perfectly Rudd, wasn't it? Something
like, I remember being a kid walking here thinking,
who's that? Exactly. Total humility that every
man perspective still intact. So we end up with
this guy whose voice, I mean, it can go from.
Brian Fantana, to narrating Secrets of the Octopus
and earning an Emmy nod for it. That voice of
approachable intelligence, it's kind of his superpower,
maybe. Maybe it is. We've seen him move seamlessly
between co -writing superhero movies and doing
serious stage drama. Given that incredible versatility
and that recent Emmy nomination for narration,
what else could he narrate? Ooh, good question.
What other complex historical or scientific subjects
do you think are just waiting for that Paul Rudd
touch, that perfect mix of warmth and smarts?
That's a great thought to leave people with.
What should Paul Rudd narrate next? Something
for you to think about. Thanks for diving deep
with us today.
