"He said, 'There's not a day that
goes by that I don't think about that
kid.' I could just see it in his face, how
much it affected him. Just take that
moment and you just kind of know
what you're going to do."
Prior to The Object of My Affection,
Rudd originated the central role in
Alfred Uhry's Tony Award-winning
play The Last Night of Ballyhoo. He
played an Eastern European Jew, trans-
planted from Brooklyn to a German
Jewish household in 1939 Atlanta,
who "for the first time is experiencing
anti-Semitism within his own reli-
gion," explained Rudd.
"I am Eastern European Jewish and
I grew up in [the Midwest] and cer-

comfortable and proud of who he was.
I was never not proud, but there were

Paul Rudd has just started filming
another off-kilter romantic comedy —
200 Cigarettes co-starring Courtney
Love — before going into rehearsals
for the Lincoln Center production of
Shakespeare's comedy Twelfth Night
(he's playing Orsino) directed by
Nicholas Hytner.
"I suppose it is a little daunting that
I have to do the 'If music be the food
of love, play on' speech in front of
1,100 people," said the New York-
based actor, who studied classical the-
ater in England, "but there's some-
thing really great about being able to
say those lines, and it's not as difficult
as people think.
"It's a lot more challenging," added
Rudd, "to make the lines of some of
these horrible [television] pilots work
than it would be to play Shake-
speare. ,'
