Oliver and Kate Hudson are the children of the famous Hollywood actress Goldie Hawn from their first marriage. Brother and sister followed in the footsteps of their mother and chose an acting path for themselves. However, Oliver is less known to the public than his star sister. In which films can you see the artist?
short biography
Oliver Hudson was born in 1976. The actor celebrates his birthday on September 7th. Hudson's hometown is Los Angeles. The father of the performer is musician Bill Hudson, whom Goldie Hawn divorced in 1980. Goldie Hawn herself is one of the most prominent comedic actresses in the United States. In her filmography, the following paintings are especially popular: “Bird on the Wire”, “Death to Her Face”, “Overboard” and “Cactus Flower”.
After the divorce of his parents, Oliver stayed with his mother and stepfather - Kurt Russell (“The Disgusting Eight”). By the time he graduated from school, Hudson did not see any other options for himself than to go to the acting profession, so he graduated from the University of Colorado in Boulder, actor courses and went to conquer Hollywood.
Early movie work
At the beginning of his career, Oliver Hudson interrupted episodic roles in the series. It is obvious that the star parents did not help their offspring to achieve success, so the performer had to break through himself. In 1999, Oliver played a revolutionary in the film "Kill a Man." In the same year he received a cameo role in the comedy "Arrivals". This was the only time Hudson appeared in the frame with his mother Goldie Hawn. Also in the picture were comedians Steve Martin (“Otpetye scammers”) and John Cleese (“The Jungle Book”).
After supporting roles in Signal Rocket, Bad Girls and Student Burnout, luck finally smiled at Oliver - he ended up in Dawson's Creek. The series was incredibly popular and gave a successful start to the careers of Katie Holmes and Michelle Williams. Hudson played Eddie Doling in 16 episodes of the film. Then followed the shooting in the series "Mountain". And in 2006, the actor received his first major role.
Oliver Hudson: films in which the actor played a major role
In 2006, director Nicholas Mastandrea began filming a horror film called The Swora. The plot of the picture tells about a group of young people who come on vacation and are harassed and attacked by a pack of bloodthirsty dogs. It is not possible to escape, because the heroes are on the island, and they do not immediately recognize the threat. Oliver Hudson received in the film the role of John - one of the participants in the company of vacationers. Michelle Rodriguez became his partner on the set, who later became famous thanks to the shootings in the Fast and the Furious franchise.
The next main role went to the performer in 2007 and provided Hudson with recognition: the young man got into the sitcom “Rules of living together”. The television series was coined by Adam Sandler and Tom Hertz, and aired on CBS for seven years. Oliver embodied on the screens the image of Adam Rhodes - the groom of the heroine Bianca Kailich. Hudson's character appears in all 100 episodes of the series.
