WOW! Sign me UP! Why you joined the Rufus fanwagon

[eleanor]

numbat, I too was captured all those years ago but many things of Rufus' have eluded me. I didn't go to see Rock and Roll and it was on in LONDON!!!!! What?!! I really missed out there. Unlike you though, I was captured once more when Charles 2 in 2003 and TOTS in 2005 came on here in UK. Life did get in the way but I occassionally was distracted by the lovely man once more...never again will I be so engrossed in life that I miss him on stage anywhere near me!!! I have decided to be a permanent fixture of this site, a bit like an annoying rash that won't go away!!!!!!!

[numbat]

Hahahaha, me too ellie!!! Let's be annoying rashes together shall we ;D

And how about one more picture of Seth for old times sake!!!

Re-opening this thread.

I was just trying to recall how it was I first noticed Rufus. I think it was last year sometime. I was on a blog written by a group of romance writers whose books I love. In a thread on their message board, someone had posted a photo of Rufus and Gerard Butler (who is the other actor I go completely "fangirl" over).

It was like "Hello. Who are you and why haven't I noticed you before?"

Of course, I immediately started Googling. That led to renting DVDs and the rest is history. It finally took the announcement of Roof's role in The Pillars of the Earth to lead me here.

What fun to have found such a cool group of women who are just as insane as I am!

Oh Judy - we are a bit of the same - Roofie and Gerry!

nycfan, we are obviously women of good taste.

My dream movie stars Roof, Gerry, and Richard Armitage (oh, and throw in Henry Cavill for good measure as well). I wouldn't know where to look on the screen if they were all up there together. I think I would pass out from the pleasure.

By chance, did you see videos I made in the past years about all of his works up to 2007?

Don't blame you, Ellie, it happens!
Dangerous Beauty was filmed at Cinecittà, in Rome... my city... and Roof lived in a house near Piazza Navona.... only one mile far from meeeee!!!!!
Unfortunatelly, like you, I didn't know that, and I missed him!!!
Please... cheer me up.

I first noticed this beautiful man in Martha meet, Frank Daniel, and Lawrence.
I went to see something else (a Meg Ryan Romantic I think) as a teenager. He reminded me of my boyfriend at the time. (he doesn't look like him really, only similar in certain shots.)

It was the shot where he is outside the cafe with Daniel and he is smoking, I said to my friend "Oh my god that man looks like Damian".
But after that I kind of forgot about him.

Then late one night (after a girls night out) I was with the same friend and we were watching Uk Gold (it was on in the back ground) and Middlemarch came on , it had been showing for a while and it was an episode with Will in .

I started running around the room looking for a video and recorded the episode. I then found out when the other episodes were on and recorded them as well.

A week later my friend rang and told me about a play in London. "Do you fancy going, that Rufus guys in it"

Of course I agreed. When Rufus came on stage at first we felt let down, he was very skinny and looked ill, and he was breathless as if he had been running.
(I have since read that he never turns up early for plays as he hates to wait around and he prefers to go straight on stage).

But then he went off stage and when he reappeared he was like a different person, he was gorgeous and very talented and by the time the interval came we had forgotten that we only came to see him because he was Sexy.

I think that was when I fell in love with him actually, when I realised that he was such a good actor.

Also I knew even then that he had a good sense of humour because they went of stage and my friend (not realising they would come back for the encore) stood up and loudly said "ohh were did my penny whistle go?"
Rufus who was stood, ready to bow, in front of where we were sat (we were only 2 rows back and it was a small theatre) looked at her and laughed (loudly).

Macbeth was fantastic and I found myself feeling sorry for him and blaming his wife, she made him kill. (only Rufus could make people feel sorry for a murderer. he did the same thing in Helen of Troy)

Anyway back to the thread I joined because the cap-its were on the Eleventh hour site. (And I am very glad that I did join).
