Paul Rudd discusses working with the star-studded cast on the third season of Only Murders in the Building.
Hulu
While chatting with PEOPLE about his work on the third season of Only Murders in the Building, Paul Rudd revealed that he was especially excited to work on the Hulu series “specifically because of the three people.” The cast members the Ant-Man star is referring to are Steve Martin, Martin Short, and new addition Meryl Streep.
Rudd, who plays actor Ben Glenroy on Only Murders, said, “I came in there, and there’s Meryl Streep, who is arguably the greatest of all time. And Martin Short, who is one of the funniest people on the planet, and somebody that just, I love, I really love.” He continued, “And yet to be there with Steve Martin, when I think back on people who probably had more of an impact on my life and my wanting to do this, or my understanding that performing or anything was even a career somebody would have, it was him.”
The I Love You, Man star then noted that Martin’s impact on Rudd’s life has been “more consequential than any other person in history. I mean, he’s it, he’s the guy.” Rudd went on to say, “And so to, one, keep it kind of cool, and just not acknowledge it so that I can get through the day is one thing. But to also stop, acknowledge it and say, ‘Wow, how lucky am I? Now I’m in this with him.'”
He added, “That kind of thing doesn’t really happen in life. And it’s happened in my life.”

Rudd also told PEOPLE that he appreciates his role on Only Murders in the Building and is happy to be a part of the series’ third season. He said, “It’s a special place, I could just tell, I could feel it, it’s such a great group of people and it’s also just a really fun place to be.”
The actor enjoyed his experience so much that he even took a keepsake from the set to remind himself of his time on the mystery comedy-drama series. Rudd said, “I was working on Only Murders in the Building, and I had my dialog, my sheets that I had printed out and highlighted and worked on with my notes and all that stuff and, you know, oftentimes I just throw that away.”
He continued, “But I was leaving for the day and they were still in the room and I thought I’m just going to take these back and just keep these as a memento of my time on this show because I’m such a massive fan of everyone on that show, as is everybody, that I want to kind of remember.”
