Rufus Frederick Sewell was born on the 29th October 1967, in Twickenham, Middlesex, England, and is an actor, probably best recognized for starring in the role of Fortinbras in the film “Hamlet” (1996), playing Dr. Jacob Hood in the TV series “Eleventh Hour” (2008-2009), and as Obergruppenführer John Smith in the TV series “The Man In The High Castle” (2015-2017). His career has been active since 1991.

So, have you ever wondered how rich Rufus Sewell is, as of mid-2017? According to authoritative sources, it has been estimated that the size of Rufus’ net worth is over $5 million, accumulated through his involvement in the entertainment industry as a professional actor.

Rufus Sewell was born to Jo Sewell, an artist, and William Sewell, who worked as an animator, including for The Beatles’ film “Yellow Submarine”. He grew up with his brother in the London Borough of Richmond-upon-Thames in South West London; at the age of five, his parents divorced and he stayed with his mother. He attended Orleans Park School, but left in 1984 in order to pursue his education further at West Thames College, where his acting skills were spotted by his drama teacher, who offered him an audition for drama school. Thus, he became a student at the Central School of Speech and Drama in London.

Upon graduation, Rufus’ professional acting career began when he made his debut appearance in the film “Twenty-One” (1991), playing Bobby, after which he had a small role in the TV series “Gone To Seed” (1992). The following year was his breakthrough year, as he starred in the role of Tim in a film entitled “Dirty Weekend”, directed by Michael Winner, which earned him great popularity and since then his net worth has only gone upwards. In 1994, he was chosen to portray Will Ladislaw in the TV mini-series “Middlemarch”, and appeared as Robbie Fay in the film “A Man Of No Importance”. By the end of the decade, he had also starred in the role of Martin Ricardo in “Victory” (1996), played John Murdoch in “Dark City” (1998), and Eric Stark in “Bless The Child” (2000).

In the new millennium, Rufus continued to line up success after success, and his first major role was in Brian Helgeland’s film “A Knight’s Tale” (2001), playing Count Adhemar, which was followed by the role of Angus in the TV film “Mermaid Chronicles Part 1: She Creature” (2001). In the following years, he appeared in such TV series and film titles as “Extreme Ops” (2002), “The Last King” (2003), and “The Legend Of Zorro” (2005), starring alongside Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta-Jones. In 2006, Rufus was cast as Marke in “Tristan and Isolde”, portrayed Crown Prince Leopold in “The Illusionist”, and played Thomas Clarkson in “Amazing Grace”. All of these appearances added a considerable amount to his net worth.

Two years later, Rufus won the role of Dr. Jacob Hood in the TV series “Eleventh Hour”, which lasted only a season. When the filming was ended he was selected for other roles, including as Tom Builder in the TV series “The Pillars Of The Earth” (2010), and Adam in the 2012 film “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter”. To speak further about his acting career, he has also starred in the films “Restless” (2012), “Hercules” (2014), and most recently was chosen for the role of Obergruppenführer John Smith in the TV series “The Man In The High Castle” (2015-2017). His net worth is certainly rising.

If to talk about his personal life, Rufus Sewell has been married twice – his first wife was journalist Yasmin Abdallah (1999-2000). He married his second wife Amy Gardner in 2004; however, they divorced two years later. The couple had a son together.

Rufus Frederick Sewell Quotes

• I’m only based in L.A. because I couldn’t get any work in England.
• I’ve discovered that I’ve never had much respect for money, and that has meant that money has ended up ruling me a little bit more than it should have. So I’m trying to learn – at this late stage in life! – to actually control that.
• My career has suddenly started to be the one that I’d always wanted, not in terms of level of success, but in terms of – and this is what I’ve been banging on about – playing different parts in different media.
• I’m in a position where I’m being continually knocked back for the kind of independent films I want to be in because people don’t know who I am.
• ‘The Taming Of The Shrew’ is probably the first time I’ve worked in this country for about ten years, apart from theatre, and it’s not for want of trying. It was so fantastic to work in London – it felt really glamorous.
• My feelings about my mortality are less selfish than they used to be. I used to affect a cavalier attitude to death; now I see it from my son’s perspective.
• I’m very, very happy with my recognition/lack of recognition in England in terms of my life. In terms of household name-age. The public’s memory is very short, luckily.
• I don’t think the roles that I’m necessarily known for in this country are my best work, or even anywhere near it. I didn’t think I was great in ‘Arcadia.’ I think it’s a great part and a great play and had a lot of attention.
• At times, I think of my career as a map. The closer you get to the map, the more you know where you are, but the closer I get to my career, the less happy I feel. At the same time, I have carved out the career for myself which I wanted.
• I don’t know why the universe is so determined to keep my feet on the ground.
• Hollywood is my domestic idyll.
• Lazy journalists, they’ll read stuff and get a quote then ask the same question again hoping I’ll say a similar thing; it’s very tiresome.
• If my British film career was a girl, then I’d been hanging around outside her apartment a little bit too long.
• Of course, I want to look good, as that helped me get jobs. But it didn’t get me the jobs I wanted and it held me back.
• I was very frustrated, in a physical sense, by people seeing me in a way that I wasn’t. And I was beginning to find myself boxed into a corner. Hopefully things have loosed up a bit, and I’ve gotten better and become more relaxed as an actor.
• I’ve always liked the idea of regularly doing a play but I was offered things which I felt were too ‘celebie’ and West Endy.
• I think I was a bit frightened of having to be a grownup and tried to put that off for as long as I could.
• I don’t know if the money I’ve earned is going to need to last me for the next few weeks or the rest of my life.
• I think if a character appeals to you, there are certain parts of yourself will come to the fore and other parts that will play down.
• I no longer have a style to maintain. I rent a little flat in Los Angeles, I don’t take holidays, I don’t dine out and I take cheap flights.
• For me, if I were to be at home in any kind of style, it is more comedy than anything else.
• I do as much comedy as I possibly can, but I’m basically limited by the imagination of the secretaries who make the decisions.
• The reason I am unemployed for six months out of every year is because I have to turn down most of the films I’m offered. If I didn’t, I’d only ever play a dark, satanic count on a horse.
• As a person I’m perfectly vain, I’m just vainer as an actor about my ability. My acting vanity trumps my human vanity.
• I was a very undisciplined person but acting was something that actually motivated me to get up in the morning. I hadn’t experienced that before, but it was something that really excited me. I think I could be quite self-conscious and it gave me a release.
• A large part of my adolescence was spent doing my very best to draw attention to myself.
• I wasn’t a model schoolboy. Of course, I was forced to sit through Shakespeare and I really got into some of it, though it depended on who was reading it out.
• I want to be able to do anything. I know it’s probably not reasonable to expect, but that’s what I’d like to do.
• It’s nice when women fancy me, but I think I will only disappoint them so I prefer it if they don’t know who I am.
• Billy is a funny, cheeky, lovely boy and I love being with him. Parenthood is terrifying though. I can barely walk past a building without panicking that it’s going to collapse on his head.
• People talk about me in ‘Arcadia’ and I think I was okay in it but I’ve given better performances in other productions that didn’t have the same impact. But I knew ‘Arcadia’ was going to be an event and I wanted to be part of it.
• I don’t have any shame about the way I conducted my professional life.
• For a long time, I’ve had to hustle. If a film role is obviously great, then it’s been difficult for me to get a look-in.
• For a long time, I didn’t give anything my all. I was so afraid that I’d be crap, so I held myself back.
• Well, thing is, after they canceled ‘Zen’, I didn’t work for eight months. And in that case, it was not my choice. After I’ve done something that I’m really proud of and I think changes the way I’m perceived, the immediate reaction is: nothing.
• I’d like an omelet named after me.
• I’m hoping that a lifetime of compromise and disappointment will read as extra depth and layers in my work.
• Given the choice between someone saying I was handsome in a role or ugly but good, I know which I’d choose.
• Yes, years of compromise and disappointment have added depth to my acting.
• I’ve always believed very, very strongly that the way you treat people is more important than anything, professionally or otherwise.
• I’ve gone through long periods without being with someone and got a bit lonely, but not for a while.
• I was the lead in Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles (1994), until Tom Cruise decided he was interested. I was in The Wings Of The Dove with ‘Uma Thurman, until that got canceled. I was in Shakespeare in Love (1998) with Julia Roberts, until that fell apart.
• I recognize myself to a lesser or greater extent in everything I read, good and bad, and that’s part of being a human being if you’re honest enough. And obviously the darker parts are the things you don’t let control you.
• People talk about opportunity knocking, but the gate was always swinging in the breeze before I got to the door.
• When I left drama school, my fear was that I’d get pigeon holed into comic acting and I did so much to counter it that I got stuck in the opposite.
• It’s important to me to be in a relationship when I’m in one, but I’m not someone who needs to be in a relationship. I don’t actively look for it, I’ve never been like that. I’ve gone through long periods without being with someone and got a bit lonely, but not for a while.
• My career has suddenly started to be the one that I’d always wanted, not in terms of level of success, but in terms of – and this is what I’ve been banging on about – playing different parts in different media. I was very frustrated, in a physical sense, by people seeing me in a way that I wasn’t. And I was beginning to find myself boxed into a corner. Hopefully things have loosed up a bit, and I’ve gotten better and become more relaxed as an actor.
• First I was seen as a brooding bloke on a horse, and then a baddie, and then a king.
• I think the only thing I’ve got going for me as an actor specifically is the fact that I can change.
