Rufus Sewell is severly typecasted
 

In "A Knight's Tale" he (the villain) loses the girl to the hero in a period piece.

In "Tristan & Isolde" he (the villain) loses the girl to the hero in a period piece.

In "The Illusionist" he (the villain) loses the girl to the hero in a period piece.

Just thought I'd point that out.

Tack on Legend of Zorro with that as well.

However, he's able to land a pretty sweet catch in Dark City. Jennifer ... something. ;)

I agree he is typecast. I believe that's the word you were looking for. -wink-

Blame it on his wandering eye.

Um, although he loses the girl, he wasn't the villain of Tristan & Isolde. Isolde's father was the villain in that film.

If you like Rufus and want to see him in a different kind of role, I'd recommend Dangerous Beauty and also Cold Comfort Farm, if you haven't already seen those. They are both very good movies.

Dark City

I second Dark City (where is the director's cut?) and also second Dangerous Beauty and Cold Comfort Farm. He is excellent in all three. :up:

I've liked Rufus in pretty much everything he's been in. But I agree he's getting typecast into villianous roles.

Thanks for the recommendations Cellar Door. I'll check those out. Beckinsale in Cold Comfort Farm is a bonus.
