Rufus Sewell has officially made it,
he's played his first Hollywood
villian in this month's Bless The Child, Sewell 32, stars opposite
Kim Basinger as a Satanist hiding behind a New Age organization,
and he's very, very scary -- gone is the romantic hero from
Middlemarch (1994), The Woodlanders (1998), and Martha Meet
Frank, Daniel and Laurence (1998). Acclaimed on both sides of
the Atlantic, Sewell is based in North London and is currently single.
What do you want for Christmas?
Some sorrel. I haven't tasted it
since I was five
And for your career?
A difficult part in a really different
new play, on a small stage in London
What do People most often recognise you
for?
When I assume it's because of my work,
it actually turns out to be because I've got something on my chin.
What are you most proud of ?
My niece, who is seven years old and
naughty and lovely.
Most embarrassed about?
About eight years ago I saw a girl in a
bar in New York and was convinced I knew her. I said, 'I went to school with you'
She said, 'No you didn't'. So I said 'What's your name?' She said 'Kate Moss,'
and laughed, thank God.
Have you taken you clothes off for a
role?
A couple of times. The first was
in a television role. I had to walk towards Allison Steadman, naked, in one of her
dream sequences. It was terrifying.
