Graduated???[edit]

"and went to the local Orleans Park School, from which he graduated in 1984"

I don't think I've ever heard that expression used in this context for the UK? Does this secondary school "graduate" it students? MRSC 08:16, 8 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Wife[edit]

Apparently his wife has now left him for a restaurant tycoon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.31.135.29 (talk) 21:20, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Weird disambiguation[edit]

Is this:

>For other people and things named "Rufus", see Rufus (disambiguation) >For other people and things named "Sewell", see Sewell (disambiguation)

really necessary? How likely is it to be useful? How many other articles have this kind of thing ("For other people and things named 'John', see...")?

Plus it comes across as a bit patronising... "You might have typed in 'Rufus Sewell', but just in case you typed one of those words by accident, or are too stupid to search for just one word, here are some links". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.104.160.179 (talk) 01:54, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

is he really going out with that girl? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.184.144.230 (talk) 23:36, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Look Alike[edit]

Did anyone think that in Dark City this guy looked like Jude Law? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.90.233.163 (talk) 11:38, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No I don't think Rufus Sewell favors Jude Law...In my mind he favors an older actor Ian McShane. Vicki Lyn —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vicki lyn4848 (talk • contribs) 03:43, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

He does bear a striking resemblance to actor Ian McShane when Mr McShane was young. Are they related? 144.137.137.87 (talk) 10:40, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

==Star of current TV show ==

I noticed in other articles about Matthew Fox and Mariska Hargitay that their current TV job is in their intro. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Garynine (talk • contribs) 21:40, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Tourist[edit]

The Tourist was released in 2010. I watched it on 2010-12-11... GhostInTheMachine (talk) 00:08, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Rufus Sewell[edit]

How does he do it? He has not changed a bit in his looks since I saw him in a Knights Tale, does he have a picture of him self in the attic? ie: Picture of Doran Grey. He looks the same and it has been 10 years. WOW, love his new Masterpeice Theater "Zen", look forward to any thing he does. Jan M., Mission Viejo, CA, 7/18/2011 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.132.93.97 (talk) 18:46, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

daughter[edit]

I think he also has a daughter with his girlfriend. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.219.235.226 (talk) 15:07, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Remove link for Taste (2004)[edit]

Currently no page for Taste (the movie) on Wikipedia, so it just directs you to Taste (the sense). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.179.34.121 (talk) 00:38, 24 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

‘Art’ in the Old Vic 2016[edit]

I saw him on stage in a production of ‘Art’ in the Old Vic in London circa 2016. I think it was a limited run, really enjoyed it. 88.21.107.79 (talk) 09:32, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Really needs a better picture[edit]

He has acted in multiple successful tv shows by now, how is this blurry uncentred picture in his profile 37.129.247.247 (talk) 22:10, 13 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
