He was a bit of a dumper in CCF although not for anyone in particular - just a generic dumper really.

Oh boy, he gets dumped big time by the girl in Victory. She tries to kill him.
Martha Meet..., he gets dumped by the girl
Maybe Bless the Child, depends on how you look at it.
The Legend of Zorro
Tristan + Isolde
The Illusionist
Haven't seen The Holiday
Shecreature? Yeah I'd say that's dumping. Every time I watch that I feel sorry for Angus
Lot of dumping.
I expect characters to die so that doesn't surprise me.
It just struck me as curious that for such an appealing man he so frequently loses out on the girl. But I think whomever said he tries to avoid the ingenue roles had it. The leading man is usually the one who walks away with the girl not the character role.

I think the most spectacular dump was Charles II dumping Lady Castlemaine. That was harsh!!  |

God, yes. That was a spectacular, awesome bit of dumping. It was TV dumping dynamite. If ever Jimmy Carr is called upon to host 'TV's Top 50 Dumps', that dump will surely be the, er....icing on the dump-pile. Rufus was Dumper Extraordinaire in that little piece. In fact, that dump deserves an award all of its own.

Even his characters don't dump people.  |

And has he ever been the "dumper" in a role? I can't think of one right now. I suppose the closest would be in The Holiday - except Jasper didn't actually dump Iris, he just got engaged to someone else! He wanted her back, so really, not a "dumper" here either. Now, am I going to be the only one here to admit that I want him to get the girl so I can fantasise...errr, daydream that I'm the girl? And I won't believe any of you that deny it!! (except maxx) Oops - sorry, I didn't see the posts on this page before I replied to 7sis's query! And what a short memory I have...  I loved the Lady Castemaine dumping! |

My only gripe is that Charles should have dumped her much, much sooner. I mean how many of his "Children" with her were actually his Grandchildren???
And his reaction when he realized she's been ******* his teenage son. He just smiles at her & jumps on board anyway. How disgusting was that? No one should be that sophisticated or should I say jaded!
I know, I know, it was customary for the father to introduce his son to his favorite whore, but I don't think the father normally had a house full of children with the whore.
It just didn't seem to be the response you'd expect from Charles II as his character was developed for the movie. I wonder if it was deemed to be historically accurate. Has anyone read Antonia Frazier's book?

He dumped Lucy Lastic for Hilda in a round-about way in Gone To Seed.

I think Lucy Lastic dumped him. That was her M.O.

I've read Antonia Fraser's book, and, if my memory serves me correctly, the series was very close to the text.
I think we have to make allowances for the times, when completely different values were placed upon carnal matters. For instance, it's well documented that Charles' first sexual experiences were with the woman who had breast-fed him as a baby (the gentility didn't do that kind of thing). Most people would be horrified to read about that in the tabloids today. It always gets me when people refer to the current era as being so much more permissive, you only have to go beyond the Victorians to realise that we're quite restrained by comparison.

I hope, at least, that she wasn't also his nanny. I think that the sexual morals were certainly different for royalty than those for the common man. I can't imagine that it was common place to have sex with your wet nurse, though I may be mistaken. I do know that when you are in a position of power everyone in your life wants to gain favor and position.

Found this on V2S-not sure about this as it was obviously filmed without Rufus being aware. February 18, 2007 From gvsben Rufus Sewell (The Illusionist) was on my flight from Toronto ON to Regina SK. He received a last minute call for a film shoot so was scrambling to study his character and script on the plane. He spoke often with the couple next to him - very nice guy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKWmzxkoEuo |

THAT'S a wee bit bizarre .... but interesting in a very creepy, voyeuristic way.  |

what is wrong with people? How can they be so amazingly inconsiderate? (the least he/she/it could have done was zoomed in on the script so we could see what it is.  ) seriously, that's a bit creepy. I'm glad he/she/it didn't follow him to the loo. |

Yeah, that is creepy and voyeuristic!! Ok, now let's analyze this 4 seconds worth of footage. I see a slight headshake, he is obviously unhappy with the writing! p.s.: his hair looks lovely and fluffy.  |
