Oliver Hudson

Oliver Hudson is an American actor and podcaster known for his roles in the sitcoms “Rules of Engagement” and “Splitting Up Together,” the drama “Nashville,” and the crime series “The Cleaning Lady.” Born on 7 September 1976 in Los Angeles, he comes from a prominent Hollywood family: he is the son of actress Goldie Hawn and musician Bill Hudson, and the older brother of actress Kate Hudson.

Hudson began acting in the late 1990s and built a steady television career through the 2000s. He starred as Adam Rhodes across all seasons of the CBS comedy “Rules of Engagement” (2007–2013), then took dramatic roles as Jeff Fordham in ABC’s “Nashville” and Wes Gardner in the Fox horror-comedy “Scream Queens.”

He returned to comedy as the lead of ABC’s “Splitting Up Together” (2018–2019) before joining “The Cleaning Lady” as FBI agent Garrett Miller, one of the show’s central figures in its early seasons.

Beyond acting, Hudson co-founded the menswear line FL2 with his sister Kate and co-hosts the popular podcast “Sibling Revelry” with her, discussing family, wellness and their upbringing. He also runs the production company Bronco Productions.

Known for an easygoing on-screen presence and comic timing, he has often played charismatic, flawed everymen. His willingness to move between broad comedy and darker drama has kept him in steady demand, and his off-screen ventures in fashion, podcasting and producing have broadened his profile beyond acting alone.

With a career spanning network comedy, drama and genre television — and a public profile boosted by his famous family and podcasting work — Hudson has established himself as a familiar face of American television over more than two decades.

In interviews and on his podcast, Hudson has been candid about growing up in a famous family and forging his own path in the industry. That openness, combined with his comedic range and dramatic turns, has made him a relatable figure to audiences. As “The Cleaning Lady” expanded to international viewers, his role as Garrett Miller reached new audiences, adding a fresh chapter to a career already several decades long.
