The NY Times' words about Rufus in Rock and Roll
In the second act, when Jan returns to Cambridge in 1990, Mr. Sewell’s performance becomes that rare thing in acting: a palimpsest in which you see all the layers of a single life. -- The NY Times

Sewell Biography
Biography
Possessing dark, curly hair, hooded green eyes and angular features, Rufus Sewell has proven equally at home in period fare or contemporary works. The tall, masculine actor first garnered widespread attention in 1994 with featured role in the British TV adaptation of "Middlemarch" (aired in the USA on PBS) and as the object of Albert Finney's crush in the underrated comedy "A Man of No Importance".
The son of a Welsh mother and an Australian father, Sewell was raised in his mother's homeland after the untimely death of his father, cartoonist Bill Sewell in 1977. He has confessed to being "quite rebellious at school, under threat of constant expulsion" while growing up, and his activities including the requisite drinking and drug use as well as shoplifting food and clothing. After working as a laborer and carpenter's assistant, he enrolled at London's Central School of Drama at age 18 and completed his training in three years. Sewell made his stage debut in "As You Like It" at the Crucible Theater in Sheffield, England, and soon found roles in other regional theaters. Sewell made a splash in London's West End as a Czech hustler involved with an older woman (Jane Asher) in "Making It Better" in 1992. The following year, he originated the part of the Byronic tutor Septimus Hodge in Tom Stoppard's cerebral "Arcadia", earning a nomination for an Olivier Award for his efforts.
