Scott Rudin
Scott Rudin (born July 14, 1958) is an American film, television and theatre producer. His films include the Academy Award Best Picture-winning No Country for Old Men, as well as Uncut Gems, Lady Bird, Fences, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Social Network, South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, School of Rock, Zoolander, The Truman Show, Clueless, The Addams Family, and eight Wes Anderson films. On Broadway, he has won 17 Tony Awards for shows such as The Book of Mormon, Hello, Dolly!, The Humans, A View from the Bridge, Fences and Passion.
He is one of 21 people who have won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony (EGOT).
In 2021, Rudin stepped back from his Broadway, film and streaming projects following allegations published by The Hollywood Reporter of abusive behavior towards his employees; Rudin's name was subsequently removed from a number of upcoming films, and Rudin's business relationship with the studio A24 was terminated. In 2025, he returned to Broadway as the producer of Little Bear Ridge Road, starring Laurie Metcalf.
Rudin was born and raised in Baldwin, New York, on Long Island, in a Jewish family. He attributes much of his interests and behavior to his upbringing.
At the age of 16, he started working as an assistant to theater producer Kermit Bloomgarden. Later, Rudin worked for producers Robert Whitehead and Emanuel Azenberg. Instead of attending college, Rudin took a job as a casting director and thereafter started his own company. His new firm cast many Broadway shows, including Annie (1977) for Mike Nichols. He also cast PBS's Verna: USO Girl (1978), starring Sissy Spacek and William Hurt, and the mini-series The Scarlet Letter (1979), starring Meg Foster, Kevin Conway and John Heard, as well as the films King of the Gypsies (1978), The Wanderers (1979), Simon (1980) with Alan Arkin, and Resurrection (1980).
In 1980, Rudin moved to Los Angeles, taking up employment at Edgar J. Scherick Associates, where he served as producer on a variety of films, including I'm Dancing as Fast as I Can (1981), the NBC miniseries Little Gloria... Happy at Last (1982), and the Oscar-winning documentary He Makes Me Feel Like Dancin' (1983).
Rudin then formed his own company, Scott Rudin Productions. His first film under that banner was Gillian Armstrong's Mrs. Soffel (1984). Not long afterwards, Rudin placed his production shingle in dormancy and joined 20th Century-Fox as an executive producer. At Fox, he met Jonathan Dolgen, a higher-level executive, with whom he worked again at Paramount Pictures years later. Rudin rose through the ranks at Fox and became president of production in 1986 at age 28.
His stint at the top of Fox was short-lived, and he soon left and entered into a producing deal with Paramount. On August 1, 1992, Rudin signed a deal with TriStar Pictures but soon moved back to Paramount. Rudin's first-look deal with Paramount lasted nearly 15 years, producing pictures including The First Wives Club, The Addams Family, Clueless, Sabrina and Sleepy Hollow.
