- Not related to, but is often confused with, the younger actor Paul Rudd. The younger actor initially billed himself as "Paul Stephen Rudd" in order to avoid confusion.
- Retired from professional acting in 1986 to raise his children. He later began teaching theater, especially Shakespeare, and poetry in local middle schools and high schools, and set up various acting workshops.
- He taught theater at Sarah Lawrence College and at the New School for Drama in New York City.
- Originally named Paul Kenneth Rudd, he adopted Ryan as his middle name from his mother's maiden name, whose name had become Kathryn Rudd after marriage.
- He is survived by his second wife, Martha Bannerman; three children, Graeme Rudd, Kathryn Rudd, and Eliza Rudd; and his mother, Kathryn Ryan Rudd.
- Right from the start, I was determined to ground myself in the most demanding part of the business. If you can do Shakespeare, you can do anything. I knew Shakespeare was going to be my meat.
