"It was just a nonissue, even though it's crucial to the story line." Actually, Rudd says, he considered the whole issue to be a test of his personal integrity as an actor. "If I'd turned down the role because people don't really know me yet and this might give them a certain perception of me," he explains, "that would have been completely playing into something I don't believe in."
