Paul Rudd has a small role in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" as what Hawaiian character?

In “Forgetting Sarah Marshall,” Paul Rudd plays a Hawaiian surf instructor. His character is introduced as Chuck, although he also gives himself the Hawaiian name Kunu. Chuck teaches Peter Bretter how to surf at the resort and becomes one of the film’s most memorable comic side characters.

The role is deliberately small but highly distinctive. Chuck is portrayed as an air-headed, carefree local who has embraced an exaggerated island lifestyle. His distracted advice, strange personal philosophy, and inability to remember Peter make the surfing lessons increasingly absurd. The character’s laid-back persona contrasts with Peter, who arrives in Hawaii heartbroken and emotionally stuck after his former partner leaves him.

The film was written by Jason Segel, who also stars as Peter, and directed by Nicholas Stoller. Released in 2008, it follows Peter’s attempt to recover from his breakup while staying at a Hawaiian resort where his ex, Sarah Marshall, is also vacationing. “Surf Instructor” accurately identifies Rudd’s role, even though “Chuck/Kunu, a surfing instructor” is the fuller description.
