Hudson is best known for starring in the TV series Rules of Engagement (2007-present), My Guide to Becoming a Rock Star and The Mountain (2004-2005), and supporting roles in the films New Best Friend (2002) and The Out-of-Towners (1999). Hudson also played opposite Katie Holmes as her love interest "Eddie Doling" in sixteen episodes of Dawson's Creek. Hudson played in the 2005 World Series of Poker Main Event but went broke on the very first hand, losing to 2003 runner-up Sam Farha (who had a better Full House than Hudson).
Hudson was born in Los Angeles, California, the son of Academy Award-winning actress Goldie Hawn and musician Bill Hudson, famous as one of the 1970s variety act "The Hudson Brothers." Hudson's parents divorced in 1980; he and his sister, actress Kate Hudson, were raised in Colorado by his mother and his mother's long-time boyfriend, actor Kurt Russell.[1] Hudson says that he considers Russell to be his father. He has three half-siblings, Emily and Zachary Hudson, from his biological father's subsequent marriage to actress Cindy Williams, and Wyatt, from his mother's relationship with Kurt Russell.
Hudson is of Hungarian, Italian, and Jewish descent,[2] and was raised partially in his maternal grandmother's Jewish religion.[3] Hudson is also the cousin of singer Sarah Hudson.
Hudson married actress Erinn Bartlett on June 9, 2006 in Mexico. Bartlett is a former Miss Massachusetts Teen USA, and was a semi-finalist at the Miss Teen USA pageant in 1991. They have a son, Wilder Brooks Hudson, who was born on August 23, 2007 in Los Angeles.[4][5] Hudson and his wife are expecting their second baby.[6]
