Who is the Ant-Man actor who was born on Easter Sunday, 1969?

The Ant-Man actor born on Easter Sunday in 1969 is Paul Rudd. He was born Paul Stephen Rudd on April 6, 1969, in Passaic, New Jersey—and that date fell on Easter Sunday that year.

Rudd became the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Scott Lang, a thief-turned-hero who uses a suit to shrink to insect size while gaining superhuman strength. He first played Ant-Man in the 2015 film Ant-Man, later reprising the role in Captain America: Civil War, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Avengers: Endgame, and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.

A common mix-up is assuming Rudd played the original comic-book Ant-Man, scientist Hank Pym. In the MCU, Michael Douglas portrays Pym, while Rudd plays the second major Ant-Man, Scott Lang. Rudd was already well known before Marvel through films such as Clueless, Romeo + Juliet, Anchorman, and The 40-Year-Old Virgin.

The Easter detail is a calendar coincidence: Easter’s date changes each year, and in 1969 Easter Sunday was April 6, exactly matching Rudd’s birthday.
