NEW SERIES! Flix Character Spotlight: Lord Marke in Tristan + Isolde

Welcome to a new FlixChatter series where I'll feature a certain movie character every other week. You know how it's like when you're watching a movie starring a couple of famous actors, but the supporting actor ends up stealing every scene he's in and by the end of the movie you care so much for …

Happy Belated Birthday, Rufus Sewell!

Last Thursday, the talented and ridiculously handsome British actor turned 42. Most TV watchers know him as Dr. Jacob Hood in the recently canceled CBS show Eleventh Hour — which I personally think wasn't exactly worthy of his talent.
