Rufus Sewell talks "Eleventh Hour"

Rufus Sewell may be best known for portraying aristocratic hotheads in movies like A Knight's Tale and The Illusionist, but the British actor sounds like he's happy to trade villainous intensity for a new role as a crime-fighting man of science.
In "Eleventh Hour," which premieres Thursday on CBS, Sewell plays it cool as biophysicist Jacob Hood. The show is yet another British miniseries retooled for an American audience: Jerry Bruckheimer's U.S. version of Eleventh Hour casts Sewell as a special consultant to the FBI who helps agent Rachel Young (Marley Shelton) solve crimes involving cloning, cryogenics and other strange cases based on actual science.

I pretty much love him. I was rooting for him in Tristan + Isolde.
