As pop-culturally relevant as it was at the time, Clueless doesn’t top too many people’s list as one of the best movies ever. In fact, most of the actors in the film didn’t do much with their careers afterward, save for one person: Paul Rudd.

Rudd’s role as Josh in the 1995 flick qualifies as his breakthrough performance but over ten years later, his acting palette has altered itself into much more comedic enterprises. Today, we all know and love Rudd for his work in Anchorman, The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Role Models and I Love You, Man. His newest flick, Dinner For Schmucks, pairs Rudd with the likes of Steve Carell and Zach Galifianakis.

Despite some great one-liners (who can forget “Jobin” in I Love You, Man?) Rudd’s comedic career has been successful mainly due to his ability to pull off the “straight man” routine; a comic device where one person (in this case, Rudd) portrays a character who isn’t purposefully funny but serves as the object, or is surprised by, the joke. The act in itself makes Rudd funny but not in the obvious way that most comedians use. In a business with plenty of in-your-face, loud comics, Rudd won’t have any problem continuing to find work.
