Albert is a curious British philosophy professor who has been turned into an owl. In human form, he's a sexy, well-spoken gentleman with a endearingly distracted mind and leather elbow patches on his tweed coat. He is awkward yet charming, smart but not self-important, and above all things loves learning. He's a proper, somewhat reserved older man with a geeky side: think the holy British romantic actor trifecta of Jude Law, Hugh Grant, and Colin Firth
