Rodney Ruxin (The League)
Rodney Ruxin is one of six main characters in the FX fictional television series entitled The League. Ruxin is played in the show by actor and comedian Nick Kroll. Ruxin is an integral character in the show and member of the esteemed fantasy football league.

Family
Ruxin is in his early 30s and is married in Seasons 1-7 to his wife Sofia Ruxin (Nadine Velázquez) before her eventual death in the episode entitled Adios y Bienvenidos. The young couple has one young child together named Geoffrey Ruxin (Adam Karchmer). The family of three live in a nice suburban home in Winnetka, Illinois. Ruxin's father, Rupert Ruxin (Jeff Goldblum) makes two brief appearances on the show and it is highlighted how much they look alike. Ruxin's sister named Rebecca (Lizzy Caplan) also makes one appearance in the series and is romantically involved with Sofia's brother Rafi (Jason Mantzoukas).

Religion
Throughout the series, Ruxin's religion, Judaism, seems to be a constant topic of conversation. As the only Jewish character in the show, Ruxin often finds that he is ridiculed by his peers and wife about being Jewish. His wife Sofia is Catholic, and the two often disagreed about which religion their son Geoffrey would be until they decided to expose him to both religions equally and let him decide when he is older. He celebrates all of the major holidays including Sukkot and had a Bar Mitzvah when he was 13 years old.

Occupation
Ruxin works as a product liability attorney in Illinois. However, in the episode entitled Training Camp, he is quoted saying, "Fantasy football is my real job. How else am I supposed to win the glorious Shiva when I spend all of my time at my job or with my family."

Notable Moments with NFL Players
In the first episode of the third season entitled, The Lockout , Ruxin is seen with three NFL players (Maurice Jones-Drew, Brent Grimes, Sidney Rice) in the music video, The Shiva Bowl Shuffle. Another notable moment involving NFL moments is when Ruxin kept confusing Jordan Cameron and Cameron Jordan and then saw them both at a Chicago Bears game and confused the two to their faces.

Personality
Ruxin is portrayed as a condescending, lying, inconsiderate man who will do anything in order to win his fantasy football league. He loves to spend his time trash-talking on the league's online message board by constantly ripping on his friends for his own entertainment. He loves the idea of his wife because of her looks but doesn't love spending time with her or anyone. In the episode entitled, The Bounce Test, Ruxin is quoted saying, "If Sofia and I split up, 50% of my time, I would have to spend 100% of my time with my kid. Right now, I'm rocking, like, 50% coverage 30% of my time." Ruxin is not a very good friend, husband or person. While he has many poor qualities, he is however very smart, savvy, funny, and good at his job.

Fantasy Football
Ruxin notoriously takes his fantasy football team very seriously. He has won the Shiva Bowl (the league championship) once at the conclusion of season two and entitled the win "The Reign of Ruxin". As well, he won the Sacko Trophy (the league's last place punishment) two years in a row in season three and four.
