Tonight on Eleventh Hour, Special Science Advisor to the FBI Jacob Hood is going to have a hard time dealing with one of humankind's basic necessities: food. On “Agro,” Hood and his partner, Special Agent Rachel Young, have to solve the mystery before it's too late. If they don't accomplish their task, many will suffer and eventually experience a painful death.

“Agro” takes the team to North Carolina, where a family mysteriously becomes paralyzed after eating. Apparently, evidence suggested that they had a simple, organic dinner that didn't appear to be harmless at first. Later on, Dr. Jacob Hood (Rufus Sewell) discovers that the food was housing a genetically modified agricultural fungus. He traces it afterwards to a company that specializes in pesticides.

Eleventh Hour has recently made its debut on CBS, with British actor Rufus Sewell heading the show. He already has a thriving career both on stage and on film, but he decided that taking over the small screen was another good option. On the series, he portrays biophysicist Jacob Hood alongside Marley Shelton who plays his female bodyguard.

Sewell was previously seen in movies like A Knight's Tale and The Illusionist, but his role in the new CBS program is something else. After playing villains, he took the part of a crime-fighting man of science. Wired.com got a chance to talk to the actor, and asked him how he's dealing with the change.

Last week on CBS’ Eleventh Hour, we saw Special Science Advisor to the FBI Jacob Hood (Rufus Sewell) deal with some issues regarding food. Along with his partner, Special Agent Rachel Young (Marley Shelton), Hood headed to North California, where a family mysteriously became paralyzed after eating a meal. The investigation soon turned up and they found out that the family was having an organic dinner which looked pretty normal, but upon taking a closer look, Hood discovered that the food was infected with a genetically modified agricultural fungus. The investigators soon traced this fungus to a company which dealt with pesticides.

Later, Hood decided to take on the bigger picture as another family experienced the same symptoms. He then set out for some damage control.

Will 'Eleventh Hour' Live Up to Expectations?

editor@buddytv.com — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 09:30:10 GMT

CBS' upcoming “science drama” Eleventh Hour has already been hyped as one of the more buzz-worthy series that will premiere this fall. In fact, some even think it will be one of the most successful series this year, an honor it shares with the new J.J. Abrams project Fringe and the Simon Baker-starrer The Mentalist. But will it live up to expectations?

Eleventh Hour, which is set to hit the airwaves on October 9, is an adaptation of the British series of the same name. The original, which aired in 2006, starred Patrick Stewart and Ashley Jensen. It is about Professor Ian Hood, a member of the British government's Joint Sciences Committee, whose main job is to tackle and troubleshoot threats against, or resulting from, “scientific endeavor.” The series was created by Stephen Gallagher, who was a writer for Doctor Who; his claims that the show will be “science-based” rather than science fiction attracted media attention.

There has been much fanfare about the new CBS series Eleventh Hour, partly because it inherits the post-CSI time slot (CSI being the single most watched franchise in the world) and that it comes from CSI executive producer Jerry Bruckheimer. The so-called science drama about a brilliant biophysicist named Jacob Hood played by Rufus Sewell is set to debut this fall Thursdays at 10 pm ET/PT.

In an interview, British actor Sewell reveals what he thinks of his new assignment, as well as how you play someone with an American accent.

Live from the TCA Press Tour: CBS' New Fall Shows

editor@buddytv.com — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 16:07:44 GMT

Today was my first day at the Television Critics Association summer press tour as an official TCA member. Arriving at the massive ballroom at the Beverly Hilton, it's a tad intimidating to see about 200 fellow TV critics (nearly all lit by the glow of their laptops) facing the stage where the new shows will attempt to explain why we should care about them.

I'll be here in Los Angeles for the next five days covering all the hot panels, attending the swanky parties and set visits, and reporting back on what happens when TV critics and stars collide.
