Growing up in Maidstone, Kent, Rudi attended Vinters Boys School and Invicta Grammar School before joining the National Youth Theatre. A former county table tennis player, he demonstrated his versatility and talent at an early age.
Rudi has since had the privilege of performing in numerous productions at the National Theatre. In 2013, he took on the male lead in David Greig's two-hander, The Events, for the Young Vic. The Play received widespread acclaim and was voted The Guardian's best play of 2013.
He has also had the opportunity to perform in plays at the Royal Court and the Almeida Theatre, including Oresteia and Mary Stuart, directed by Olivier Award winner Robert Icke. In Mary Stuart, Rudi played the male lead role of Mortimer alongside Juliet Stevenson and Lia Williams, receiving critical acclaim for both productions.
In 2015, Rudi joined the cast of the record-breaking production of Hamlet at the Barbican, playing Guilderstern alongside Benedict Cumberbatch.
