Rufus on his performance as an amnesiac in "Dark City": "Obviously he (Murdoch) was going to be the center of the film, but he was going to be a blank pamphlet. I thought, 'Well, that's an interesting thing to play.' Someone who's basically a child, born into the world with an adult's instincts but without any of the experiences to back them up. You wouldn't know what your face looked like, you wouldn't know what face you pulled. You wouldn't know whether your name was John, Jack or Beelzebub. I thought that would be interesting."

On working in the dark all the time making "Dark City": "It was weird. I'd flown all the way from England to Australia to see the land of sun, sea and sand. I arrive and they lock me in this aircraft hangar at 6 in the morning and let me out at 7 at night. Then they lock me up again the next morning. I didn't see the daylight during the week for a very, very long time."

"When Alex first sent me the sketches for that set, I was more excited than I had been when I read the script. The Underworld was truly remarkable -- a little bit scary, very thrilling, and full of hundreds of bald people."  buffalo news

To lead the ensemble, Proyas enlisted Rufus Sewell (Carrington, Cold Comfort Farm), whom Andrew Mason discovered during a trip to London when a friend suggested he see Sewell's latest play. "I was told he was the most exciting new actor coming out of England in years," says Mason. "I went to see him and thought he was extraordinary." After meeting with Alex Proyas and reading the script, Sewell accepted the role of John Murdoch, which was a departure from the kinds of film roles he has played to date.

"I never thought about being in a science fiction film before, normally, there's not much for an actor to do in a film like that, except to point at things and say, ëOh, look at the size of that!' or ëI've never seen one of those -- they've been extinct for 4,000 years!' But this is part film noir, part science fiction, part fairy tale, and it has really vibrant roles for actors."

"My character is on a quest to find out who he is. I've had experiences in my life when I thought I was on the edge of madness, and I drew on those experiences to play Murdoch."

Rufus Sewell with Oscar Celebrities photographed with the famous German shepherd Oscar the "Met Bar" dog.

During the late 1990s, Oscar would always be seen out with his owner, Dennis Gill who at the time was selling the "Big Issue", a magazine sold by homeless vendors. Celebrities would buy a copy of the newspaper from Dennis, then they would pose for photographs with the bandana-wearing dog, Oscar..

With Bailey in mind, 1 of 2.

In front of a camera Bailey has a certain .. charming frisson .. and, still relatively fresh, attention-drawing mannerisms.

But, other-wise, what makes him.. him; individually as an actor?

See the second vid, from Brideshead Revisited, featuring “Anthony” and “Charles” on the subject of ‘English CHARM’.

▪ video ROY ORBISON ~ ONLY THE LONELY

feat. Rufus Sewell

Only the lonely ▪ Only the lonely Only the lonely ▪ Know the way I feel tonight Only the lonely ▪ Know this feeling ain't right There goes my baby ▪ There goes my heart They're gone forever ▪ So far apart But only the lonely Know why I cry Only the lonely Only the lonely ▪ Only the lonely Only the lonely Know the heartaches I've been through Only the lonely Know I cry and cry for you Maybe tomorrow ▪ A new romance No more sorrow ▪ But that's the chance You gotta take If your lonely heart breaks Only the lonely

Roy Kelton Orbison (1936 – 1988) was an American singer, songwriter, and musician known for his impassioned singing style, complex song structures, and dark, emotional ballads. His music was described by critics as operatic, earning him the nicknames "The Caruso of Rock". He performed while standing motionless and wearing black clothes to match his dyed black hair and dark sunglasses, which he wore to counter his shyness and stage fright.(wiki), This song is from 1960. Orbison died of a heart attack at the age of 52.

Blu Christmas Holiday Movie Asplosion 2022! ⛄ Chapter 36: The Holiday 🦌 The Holiday is another one that seems to keep going up a bit on a my list each year. It's almost hard for me to believe now that I used to look on it as "kinda similar to Love Actually but not as good". What was I thinking. It is clearly superior, and not like it beyond elements of romantic comedy and some crossing of stories in a holiday film. Anyways, the highlight for me will probably always be Eli Wallach, he was a treasure and I'm sad he's gone (even if it has been 8 years, and he was already 90 when he filmed this movie! That is baffling! He did not look, sound, move, etc like he was 90, and apparently they had to remind him to slow down while they were filming!). 🌲 ❄️ 🎄 🎅 #TheHoliday #2006 #KateWinslet #JackBlack #CameronDiaz #JudeLaw #EliWallach #NancyMeyers #RufusSewell #ShannynSossamon #EdwardBurns #HansZimmer #BluChristmasHolidayMovieAsplosion2022 #iLoveMovies #christmasmovies #holidaymovies #xmas #christmasspecials #holidayfilms #holidays #movies #christmas #iLoveChristmas #blurays #bluray #MovieNerd #abluchristmas #christmasfilms #christmasmoviemarathon . https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm0XsaXuipVirlM3NKu_tJflKZA6mATPJsR9Fk0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
