I think the first thing I every clocked him as an actor in was "The Shape of Things." Brilliant film.

Role models, wanderlust, Ghostbusters, dinner for schmucks, living for yourself, they should have added soo many more.

Paul Rudd lived through a golden age of comedy films. 1998-2008.

I know this is only my opinion, but some of the best comedy movies include some level of improv.

I’m kind of sad The Perks of Being a Wallflower wasn’t featured… his role was small but incredibly impactful

First time catching Paul Rudd cracking a smile when he repeats Steve "Bag of Sand?", I wouldn't be able to hold it together!

Quantumania may not be one of my favorite MCU movies, but Scott is absolutely one of my favorite MCU characters. Easily one of the most relatable "Avengers".

The one where he plays a baseball backcatcher spy is awesome. Based on a true story.

Wet Hot American Summer has one of the most insane comedic casts ever. Every two seconds another person that would go on to be a super famous comedian pops up

I mean…the frequency with which we use "60% of the time, it works every time." Priceless. Epic.
