For a guy who's acted in as many critically acclaimed comedies as he has ("Wet Hot American Summer," "I Love You, Man," "Knocked Up" and "Our Idiot Brother"), Paul Rudd seems to be lacking in some confidence. The 42-year-old actor recently revealed that he doesn't think he's all that funny, and owes his remarkable run of successful comedic roles to "luck."
Rudd told CBS News, "I've been lucky enough to get into some comedies. I think after 'Anchorman' it kind of -- there's been a good run of them." When asked directly if he thinks he's funny, Rudd responded, "Sometimes, maybe. Not nearly as funny as the people that I've worked with." Although, to be fair, that's setting the bar pretty high. Some of his past co-stars: Jason Segel, Andy Samberg, Steve Carell, David Koechner, Lisa Kudrow, David Hyde Pierce, Michael Showalter... And we haven't even gotten to the writers. But still. We think Paul Rudd's pretty darn hilarious. Do you?

Not related, but important news for upcoming days/weeks. Please excuse interruption
Spread the Word:
Dark people are being and about to be arrested for crimes against Mankind. Fear is unwarranted: these herald Great and Beneficial Changes. The Galactic Federation is about to Contact Us (and eventually Land) and usher in Prosperity, Abundance, and Health. Technology will be introduced and it will Completely Upgrade Our Society Permanently. Wars will never be permitted on Earth again.
Love and Light,
He is a great comedic actor. He has a lot of talent.
I feel Mr. Rudd is more low-key and uses facial responses and sarcasm. He has done a lot theatre and it might be nice to see him in a serious movie role. (As posted in another thread regarding good looking men, I find him adorable).
From the movie:
As himself:
But he's not stingy.
