Paul Rudd's connection to the iconic teen comedy 'Clueless' extended beyond his role as Josh in the 1995 film. In the original movie, Rudd portrayed Josh Lucas, the college-aged son of Cher's father's ex-wife, making him her pseudo-stepbrother and eventual love interest.
Following the film's success, a 'Clueless' sitcom sequel premiered in 1996. Rudd made a guest appearance in this series, but as a completely different character.
