Rudolf, a native of West Berlin, embarked on a life-changing journey when his family relocated to Paris, followed by a sojourn in Italy, before finally settling in the United States shortly after his high school graduation from the prestigious Universite de Paris.
As he pursued his passion for the performing arts, Rudolf enrolled at the renowned Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute, where he secured his first professional role in the critically acclaimed short film "The Dutch Master" directed by Susan Seidelman. This remarkable achievement earned the film a 1994 Academy Award nomination, setting the stage for Rudolf's promising career.
Subsequently, he took to the stage, appearing in a trio of off-Broadway productions, including "Murder In Disguise", "The Dumb Waiter", and "Front Page", further solidifying his reputation as a talented and versatile performer.
