We were introduced to Paul Rudd when he played Josh in the 1995 film Clueless, where he was the ex-stepbrother of Cher, played by Alicia Silverstone. Josh was a bookish college kid who was at odds with his air-headed ex-step-sister. After Clueless, Rudd often took on homely, awkward guy roles in Friends and many Judd Apatow-produced comedies such as Anchorman and Knocked Up. However, he certainly was considered a hunk after debuting as Marvel superhero Ant-Man in the 2015 film Ant-Man, securing a spot in the Marvel superhero lineup.
