First off, that is a great success, Cory. I think this proves something as well: if an address is not made easily available to everyone, then there is a better chance at getting a success. I didn't get Paul Rudd through The Perks of Being a Wallflower for a reason...
Second off, Paul Rudd has signed VV before. When he did Three Days of Rain on Broadway (with Julia Roberts and Bradley Cooper) a few years ago, he signed a ton. He's not impossible, but if you really want him, I'd do your research early, and send to the set because you want him (sometimes it does get irritating to read about people only wanting to write after someone gets a success). This is not to imply that the This is Forty set address is easy to find (it isn't, but possible). I'm just saying that if you don't get Rudd through one venue, try him again later.
Lastly, I think it is wrong to imply that everyone's search method is only based on google. There are people out there that subscribe to The Hollywood Reporter specifically to get addresses that are not plastered online. If you really wanted to pay the extra cash for venue addresses, subscribe to Production Weekly or Production Alert. They tend to have addresses that are not blasted online. Also, some people call a production assistant in order to gain the production address. There are various methods, but obviously the google ones are the easiest to find and also yield the lowest results (mainly because the addresses tend to get spammed).
Also, I can understand when someone is willing to pay for their research or put in the actual work of persuading a production assistant into giving out the address (which is sometimes very difficult, and when they do, they sometimes make you swear not to share the address) that they'd be hesitant to readily share the information...
