Martin Scorsese's dislike of comic book movies has been the subject of discussion for nearly five years, but his influence will still be felt in the upcoming Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum Mania. In a new interview with Men's Health, Paul Rudd reveals that Scorsese's 1985 dark comedy After Hours was the biggest influence on his acting career inside and outside of the MCU.
"Griffin Dunn has been through a lot," Rudd said when asked about his first impressions of the film. "Eventually, he found shelter in someone's attic because the crowds were looking for him in the streets. He called the police and said sleep. And they hung up. But he is not angry. He's just an idiot. Wow.' Wow. The only emotion is surprise. This is disappointing. And that's good."
Rudd said he left the film with a renewed commitment to studying acting. This led him to turn down offers from bigger films to work in the theater for a year after the success of Clueless. While his representatives were not surprised by the decision, Rudd said it was an important step in his creative development.
My agent tells me what are you doing? That was the beginning of my career. But then I had a clear idea of what I wanted and how I wanted to do it. I didn't want to be seen as a joke among actors I really liked. I really wanted you to learn how to do it right. . . You really are the center of attention."
After cutting his teeth on stage, Rudd returned to filming with renewed confidence.
"Sure, some movies weren't as good as I pitched them, but each one was useful in its own way," he said, before naming "Hot American Summer" as the first project that changed the trajectory of his career. "I don't know if I would have done Anchorman without him, " he said. I've worked with Judd Apatow for many years.
