Rufus Sewell

He is capable of playing every role. From a villain to a scientist, a hero.

I first him in the Knights Tale, he has played a villain so good that I hate him. And a hero in Eleventh hour and now I love him. He fits the role of Hood very good. His mimics, his looks, his sense of humor. Also I love his voice. Actually it is the reason why I first start watching Eleventh Hour.

I believe that he will improve the Hood character in the next season by the help of writers and hopefully we can see more feelings for Rachel.

i love it, his character of what he is really capable of,is still hidden, however, other than knowing that he is really intelligent, when pushed more of him is revealed. his emotions towards rachel is showing more. i like how he is sincere with each case and he as that silent humor. this is on my top shows not to miss. i know this is the first season, and it was good,and look forward to better in next season and i can't wait. Rufus Sewell got my attention from the beginning and his character fits with rachels. Rufus Sewell is a new face to me, and i love it, his eyes are different, his character is good. glad to see a new face that quickly got my attention. i was captured by him, the first time i watched.

Rufus is a very talented actor. He has a played a varied set of roles. Going from the villian in movies such as Knights Tale, to now playing the hero in The Eleventh Hour. Despite the fact that he is a very talented actor with some levels of success, he has still remained very personable. Interacting with him, you don't get the feeling that you're dealing with a big of star as he is. Throughout his success, he's managed to maintain his connection to his fans and viewers.



It's only a matter of time before he starts popping up in major roles in a theater near you.

Prior to Eleventh Hour the only thing I can recall seeing Rufus Sewell in was The Holiday, and that character at least, certainly did nothing to recommend him!

But Eleventh Hour has really grown on me, and I can't say specifically why. Certainly the supporting character (Marley Shelton)is marginal at best...so far...and yet I fault the network program creators and writers for that as it seems to be a common theme in most new shows this season. They don't seem to complete the development process before rushing a show to air (no more cast cohesiveness from the start a la NCIS or CSI) I assume, believing they can just yank the thing from the air if it doesn't hit instantly. (I assume most H'wood creators/writers/producers are similarly ruthless in their own real-lives).

At any rate, I think the premise of the series and the strength of the somewhat indefinable hook provided by Sewell will win out. He's a good, strong actor and has a lot of presence in this role. I hope he and this show hit, because I am certainly along for the ride.

CBS: get some supporting character development in there ASAP. Show the other networks/shows that you remember HOW to use the magic...
