After returning to the stage as a gay-bashing Mormon college student in Bash, opposite Calista Flockhart, Rudd took on his next high-profile feature, playing a WWII pilot in Lasse Hallestrom's The Cider House Rules (1999), costarring Tobey Maguire, Michael Caine,

and Charlize Theron. He then appeared alongside Andie MacDowell in the short film Reaching Normal (written and directed by Anne Heche), which was screened at the Sundance Festival before airing on Showtime.

In early 2001, Rudd stars as Nick Carraway, the keen and aloof narrator in A&E's adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's elegant Jazz Age classic, The Great Gatsby, also starring Mira Sorvino.
