Ed Asner is appearing for the first time onstage since 1989 in the Broadway production of Grace, alongside Michael Shannon and Paul Rudd.
Paul Rudd is best known for his comedic roles in films like Our Idiot Brother, I Love You, Man, and Knocked Up. But his next part is a huge departure—he’ll be appearing in a Broadway production of the dramatic play, Grace.
The stars of Grace, Paul Rudd, Michael Shannon, Ed Asner and Kate Arrington, a new Broadway show written by Craig Wright, talk about the production at a recent press event in New York City.
As funny of a guy as Paul Rudd is, when he takes the lead in a film the box office isn’t always there. His last three starring roles — Wanderlust, Our Idiot Brother, and How Do You Know — all underperformed. So it’s a good thing that Rudd is more than just a movie actor, since he is making a return to Broadway after several years in movies to star in Grace alongside Michael Shannon, Kate Arrington, and Ed Asner.
Two of my favorite actors, Paul Rudd and Michael Shannon, are teaming up for the Broadway show, Grace.
Ron Burgundy, San Diego’s favorite Anchorman, stopped by the Conan O’Brien show last night to help out the band with his incredible flute skills.
Paul Rudd is clicking on all cylinders – as usual – and Jennifer Aniston, Justin Theroux, Malin Ackerman and the rest of the cast of just beyond funny. Definitely check it out this weekend!
Opening this weekend is the comedy Wanderlust, starring Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston, about a couple who decides to join a free love commune.
In Theaters: February 24th
In one of the clips, Rudd tells Malin Ackerman that he’s “gonna throw down on you with…my… testicles.” Do you need any more incentive to watch?

“He reveals that he initially aspired to do more serious roles, mentioning, “That was the plan. Maybe not exclusively Shakespeare, but definitely serious theater.”
Paul Rudd might be starring in a movie titled Our Idiot Brother, but count the actor himself as one who doesn’t think that the character he plays really is an idiot.
“The first thing was I read the script and thought it was really funny, but not just funny I loved the drama in it, I thought it was an interesting character and a fun character to play.”
