"impossible to talk my way out of" 

That's so Rufus!

[GreenEyesToo]

That bit is, definitely!

Thanks for finding that, Adina. I predict an increase in the trainer's bookings.

I want her job! Nice find Adina!

Yes I would like her job too, apart from the exercise bit

There's always a fly in the ointment, isn't there?

So, I went to read that article and I bumped into this let's-ask-something-random-from-actors video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-JDbPfgPUo And now we know where Rufus discovered internet. The sentence is at 0:11. (It seems the editor took home the rest of Rufus's answer.  )

And, since Rufus is looking right, I'll add a picture of his other profile from the Rufus-on-Eleventh-Hour video to make balance

You often hear actors say about having their pics taken>>>' Oh, this is my best side ' or 'the other is my best side.'

Well! no question about it !!
This guy doesn't have a best side ....Both are perfect


Yeah,Ruefull,  I want that girl's job too.

I would love to put Roof through his paces!

As long as I can give the instructions and just watch him following them out.

[kygal]

I agree, he has no bad side!

I found this in my bits and pieces It was posted by GE2 ages ago
I thought newer members might like to read it
Keep scrolling

The caption reads: Caspar (front) and Rufus in their granny's MG outside the house in Westbank Terrace, Hampton Hill; Swipe, as ever, is propping up the rear.


The accompanying post talks of the boys and their Dad. Excerpts:

We'd visit Bill at his studio-cum-home which was in a mews just off Wardour Street in Soho. The three of us; Caspar, Rufus and me. Bill was a very laid-back figure, quite unlike the other Dads you'd come across.
.....

Bill had hit upon a tremendously cunning means of keeping these three demanding kids out of his hair when they came to stay. "Here's a fiver, now bugger off to McDonalds", he'd rasp in smokey Australian. And so we would.
.....

I came across an interview with Rufus when I was trying to get my dates straight. His remarks about his slightly at arm's length, every-other-weekend relationship with his father are pretty perceptive:

"It gave me this really bizarre idea of what makes someone cool, not really trying, but always having the potential to be fantastic."

That catches Bill pretty well, I think; he had that and his two sons have both inherited it from their dad, for sure; the potential to be fantastic.
.....

And now I see us clearly, Caspar, Rufus, me; scurrying and larking as we hoof a ball about on a park in Hampton Hill.


Then if that wasn't me making me shake enough, I scrolled further on down and found this (another deep breath now):

It's Sunday, June 23rd and Poland are playing Italy in the 1974 World Cup. Or it might be the Saturday before that, when they beat Argentina 3-2. Or maybe it's the day before the Final itself, when they played and beat Brazil.

I thought that newer members might like to read it.
It is a delightful piece from a blog of a childhood friend of Rufus

[You see, on the day I'm trying to recall, there was a quite well known actor at the window behind me, giving me the two fingered salute and burping the word "bollocks" whilst I tried to watch the game. And you don't tend to forget stuff like that, do you? Even if the world cup games played long ago begin to bleed into one, you don't forget Rufus Sewell, burping bollocks, two grubby fingers raised, then mouthing "f**k off" while you try to watch the game.
.....

He was only six at the time, of course, and taking a break from playing kiss chase with my sister. Not yet famous, no starring roles beyond his turn as Rumplestiltskin at Trafalgar Infants School. Maybe that was a little later, the following year, perhaps? But there is no doubting that he was already a prodigious talent. I couldn't even burp to order, let alone form a coarse vocabulary in that beguiling foreign tongue, yet here he was, already swearing in it fluently. In fact, the infants' production of Rumpelstiltskin would enjoy such a dazzlingly brilliant run, be so acclaimed that they'd eventually transfer it to the main school, with its larger assembly hall for a special one-off performance. So we juniors all got to enjoy Rufus stomping around, shouting a lot and generally stealing the show in the title role, being excellent as that funny little goblin child-man in a performance all of our own and absolutely free.

I've not seen Rufus for a while now. I think he's had some tough times - the usual life stuff - as well as some wonderful successes - most recently in Tom Stoppard's play set in the Prague of 1968, called Rock 'n' Roll. I didn't get to see it - should be more assertive about using contacts, going through the door when it's being held open for you, I suppose - but it's never felt quite right. I've heard that he was very good and still oozes power and charisma on the stage. I'd be lying if I said I didn't envy him a little his having met some of my own personal heroes; Bowie, Lieber & Stoller, Peter Cook and Jack Lemmon are the ones that spring most readily to mind. But I don't envy him his success, because that's precisely what it is; his. I still feel a gentle glow of pride, every now and then, that he was one of us and now holds his own with all of 'them'.


The full blog is here (scroll down to just past halfway, then down a bit more for the second part): jcrawfordsnagge.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html

(Since this is already in the public domain, I hope nobody is unhappy about these otherwise private pics being posted. I just couldn't let them go unseen by us!!)[/u]

I do have these pics. If anyone hasn't seen them and would like to , let me know.

[midoro]

 Frannie for posting for us newbies! Didn´t find the blog though. And yes, I would like to see the pics!

[francesca]

Midoro, This was taken from an old blog so if you click on the blue URL it is likely that the blog has gone. GE2 copied and pasted on the part that relates to Rufus which is the part in black that I posted here.
The rest of the blog was not very interesting unless you are crazy about 70s football which Rufus's friend was!

The first two pics below are the pics that came with the blog




In the second pic, Caspar (Roof's brother ) is in front .. Roof in the middle and Bob,(the blogger) their friend at the back



I thought you might like to see this one. A school photo not part of the blog, Rufus is the one in the front row last on your right.
In case you don't recognise him he is at his dyed blonde stange

[midoro]

Thanks Frannie for posting the pics (again)! Rufus looks definitely better today!

[GreenEyesToo]

Ah, memories of my excitement in the middle of the night when I discovered those! Thanks for re-posting them, Frannie!

[robela]

Thanks for posting the blog and the photos again Frannie.I have seen them before but it is lovely to revisit them.?

[kygal]

Glad Rufus is mentioned on all of the lists. Of course we agree he should be #1 on all of them!

[kissmekate]

Tom Cruise most charming? Come on!

But it's good to know that Rufus at least makes an appearance!

[GreenEyesToo]

There are some seriously wrongly-placed people on those lists. Kygal's right, Rufus should be at the top of every one! (Thanks, Frannie)

Just had a over this:

Finally, from Acorn Media we have "Lovejoy: Series 1" (three discs, $49.99), which stars Rufus Sewell as an antiques dealer with his own ethical code.

I'm just not sure if they're being deliberately funny, or if they genuinely think it's Rufus!
