Oliver Hudson

Hudson is of mixed ethnic descent: he is one quarter Hungarian Jewish (from his maternal grandmother) and one quarter Italian (from his paternal grandmother). In addition, Hudson's maternal grandfather was a descendant of Edward Rutledge, the youngest signatory of the Declaration of Independence. He was raised partially in his maternal grandmother's Jewish religion. Hudson is also the cousin of singer Sarah Hudson.<br /><br /> Hudson is best known for starring as Adam Rhodes in the TV series Rules of Engagement (2007–present), My Guide to Becoming a Rock Star and The Mountain (2004–2005), and supporting roles in the films New Best Friend (2002) and The Out-of-Towners (1999). Hudson also played opposite Katie Holmes as her love interest "Eddie Doling" in sixteen episodes of Dawson's Creek. Hudson played in the 2005 World Series of Poker Main Event but went broke on the very first hand, losing to 2003 runner-up Sam Farha (who had a better Full House than Hudson). Read Less
