Guest Post: The Joy of Discovering Rufus Sewell – a Birthday Tribute

Today we celebrate the birthday of a special actor Rufus Sewell. I had a birthday post for him last year, but this time I thought what better way that to invite Mr. Sewell's number one fan, my good friend Prairiegirl to share her own heartfelt tribute. Read on: Today Rufus Sewell is 43. Who would …

Chat-Worthy Actor: Mark Strong

Special thanks to guest blogger Samantha Klein of Banana Oil Movies for her outstanding contribution! ... I have a confession to make. I play "Six Degrees of Russell Crowe". Yes, I know it's supposed to be Kevin Bacon, but I don't watch Kevin Bacon stuff, and I'm a huge Crowe fan. I've seen over half …

Happy Belated Birthday, Rufus Sewell!

But there's so much more to this versatile actor, whose compelling performance is always the highlight …

Gerard Butler’s hosting SNL this weekend!

I don't normally watch SNL, but I'll definitely make an exception this weekend. Check out this promo: I'm surprised it took so long for SNL to invite Gerry to be the host. He's downright funny and gregarious. Sure he's known to play brooding, fiery and ill-tempered guy, even borderline psychopathic in LAC, but he's such …
