The universe was trying to send a message to Paul Rudd: Get the hell out of L.A.

First came the earthquake, then the mugging, followed by five car accidents in the span of a week. It was the mid-‘90s, not terribly long after the release of “Clueless,” and Rudd had already been contemplating moving to The Big Apple to do theater. This series of unfortunate events, and a chance encounter with the actor Tom Hulce, sealed it. Rudd moved to New York City, made his Broadway debut in 1997’s “The Last Night of Ballyhoo,” and never looked back.
