Oliver Rutledge Hudson (born September 7, 1976) is an American actor, best known for his role as Adam Rhodes in the CBS comedy series Rules of Engagement (2007-13). He is the son of Goldie Hawn and Bill Hudson and brother of Kate Hudson.

Early life

Hudson was born in Los Angeles, California, to Goldie Hawn and musician Bill Hudson. After their parents divorced in 1980, he and his sister, actress Kate Hudson, were raised in Colorado by their mother and her partner, actor Kurt Russell.[2] Hudson says that he considers Russell to be his father.[citation needed] He has four half-siblings: Emily and Zachary, from his biological father's marriage to actress, Cindy Williams; Lalania, from another of his father's relationships in 2006; and Wyatt, from his mother's relationship with Kurt Russell.

Hudson is of Italian (from his paternal grandmother), Hungarian Jewish (from his maternal grandmother), English, German, as well as very distant Dutch, descent. He is the cousin of singer Sarah Hudson.

He also starred with Claire Forlani in Lifetime movie Carolina Moon in 2007. From 2007 to 2013 Hudson starred as Adam Rhodes in the CBS sitcom Rules of Engagement (2007–2013).

Personal life

Hudson married Erinn Bartlett on June 9, 2006, in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
