Matthew Rhys isn't a Russian spy, he just plays one on TV. The star of the FX period drama, "The Americans," dishes on the new show and his undercover role.
As an American, Matthew does a fantastic job in the Americans!! I did not know about him before the show and was shocked that he is Welsh! Fantastic job doing an American accent.
As an American I have to say Rhys does a better American accent than any other British actor I've seen. Even super talents like Gary Oldman don't seem to go quite as deep.
Jon Bernstein: rhys def does a better american accent most brits in hollywood but idk about deeper than oldman! he just does a classic old school american one. i think rhys' is just more modern... 😊
Matthew Rhys is so handsome, smart, funny, self-deprecating, articulate and clever, and he masterfully copes with the annoying, narcissistic interviewer.
One of the best shows on TV. When I first heard Matthew talk in his 'natural' voice, I said "That's the fakest English accent I've ever heard", Then I heard he was Welsh ('Rhys'. . .duurrr!!) and said, "Ah Ha!!!" Now it makes sense. But even then, it's Welsh 'lite'.
this is one of the best interviews i've seen with Matthew. Great interviewer, great questions from fans too. Gutted he didn't say Burton, Hopkins, Sheen as his acting greats, but hey ho, He'll be one of those names soon
What is with the interviewer? The good thing about working in America is that we don't know where any accents are from? We are the land of accents! Geez guy.
In The Americans, there are times he reminds me of James McAvoy. Maybe the facial expressions? Not really sure, but he does. I thought he's an American for real :)
I definitely remember Matthew from B&S. Just started watching The Americans on Singapore cable, and absolutely love it! Didn't realize he's Welsh - perfect American accent wow! Can't wait to see him as Darcy in Death Comes To Pemberley. :)
Nyams M I think JM's accent can't be beat. MR's sounds a tad...off. Not effeminate, but not quite "American". This was the case with Hugh Laurie too. He had that lisp to him.
Обычно в США снимают такое от чего русских может только стошнить , но сериал Американцы редкое исключение , великолепная игра актеров и отличная режиссерская работа !
It is so wierd that he keeps insulting matthew and americans, which i find odd considering he is in america doing his job for americans interviewing a hugely talented actor saying his accent is bad when if you asked an american theyd say it wasnt. . .this is making me feel uncomfortable just watching it
Крутой сериал, впервые русских нормально сняли. Причем самый смак, что они так то злодеи, это мы в России воспринимаем их как надо, а у американцев наверняка легкий когнитивный диссонанс. У нас бы так снять не смогли, все таки американцы впереди планеты всей. Да и русские шпионы у них круче, чем у самих русских.
first season GREAT!!! had me hooked... second season, pretty good... THIS season.. I hope it gets better - im gettin bored. 3/25/15 almost really put me asleep :( to me... its just starting to get a little dull. (the beginning of season 3 was good though)
I mean when Matthew talks about 80's technology with the phones that you had to dial around-But in them episodes they have another phone that have buttons lol- Also every few months in the 80's there would be new technology advances-Like the PC's they use in the FBI by 1982 they are outdated!
No he not gay, he is dating a co- star from Americans Keri.He play 3 gay characters but this not mean that he is many actors do that and ppl assume that in real life was gay
As an American, Matthew does a fantastic job in the Americans!! I did not know about him before the show and was shocked that he is Welsh! Fantastic job doing an American accent.
such a PHENOMENAL actor
Holy shit, he does a great job of doing an American Accent. I had no idea he was Welsh

+Jon Bernstein Christian Bale?

I thought Bob Hoskins American accent,was rubbish but then,I am English...

Great show. This interviewer is OBNOXIOUS
charmingly gregarious and delightfully sarcastic.

His American Accent is really good!

Are you for real? Everyone can see the host was shit so don’t try to change the reality dude.
What is with the interviewer? The good thing about working in America is that we don't know where any accents are from? We are the land of accents! Geez guy.
Anyone else think Matthew looks like Julian McMahon?
"We can cut down on how many ambulances we need." I adore this whole thing and I am glad Josh Zepps is still around on Sydney ABC Radio each weekday!
Matthew Rhys seems like a really cool, funny guy. He's great on "The Americans". I'm surprised I've never really noticed his work before.
In The Americans, there are times he reminds me of James McAvoy. Maybe the facial expressions? Not really sure, but he does. I thought he's an American for real :)
most underrated actor of all time
Loved this interview. Matthew is so funny and cute...would love to meet him some day :)
I definitely remember Matthew from B&S. Just started watching The Americans on Singapore cable, and absolutely love it! Didn't realize he's Welsh - perfect American accent wow! Can't wait to see him as Darcy in Death Comes To Pemberley. :)
THIS guy believes his own bullshit. Mathew is extraordinary in so many ways. I was embarrassed for this Kunze fella.
Why is the interviewer making this about him? to such a far extent?
the interviewer is simply bad.
Anybody else think Matthew is hot?
Smokin.........
I thought so too!! He's like a mix of him and the guy from Nip/Tuck (Julian McMahon).
Nyams M I think JM's accent can't be beat. MR's sounds a tad...off. Not effeminate, but not quite "American". This was the case with Hugh Laurie too. He had that lisp to him.
He does an American accent so well on the show that his real life Welsh accent sounds fake.
Great show, roll on S3.
terrible host, just saw this cause of matthew

O'Toole and Harris were Irish I believe.
Great show
He reminds me of Richard Burton.
Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys The Americans play again in The Americans Seasons 2 :D Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys The Americans Season 2
Oh my gosh you're right!
He looks like he'd rather be anywhere else.
Terrible host ignorant full of himself. Matthew is gracious as usual
his voice is a little similar to the voice of john hurt
It is so wierd that he keeps insulting matthew and americans, which i find odd considering he is in america doing his job for americans interviewing a hugely talented actor saying his accent is bad when if you asked an american theyd say it wasnt. . .this is making me feel uncomfortable just watching it
Sounds Ozzie and they take great pride in being as offensive as possible,in the pretence of saying it,like it is...
The interviewer is horrible. He loves his own voice and interrupts Mathew constantly.
Actually, he kinda reminds me of Lindsey Buckingham. :)
good interview.... more podcast style than junket, which by the way, is yay.

kubaniski go fuck yourself comedian
Nikkishoko Hi Putin. Why did you kill Boris Nemtsov?
Mitchell Kunze drunk or just idiot?
Nikkishoko Answer the question, Putin.
The interview is a tad pretentious. Maybe this stems from a certain long term underlying hostilities between the English and Welsh.
I meant the "interviewer".
dafuq are you talking about? dude is aussie........
***** Yep, Sydney.
Funny interview
ييسطط

No he not gay, he is dating a co- star from Americans Keri.He play 3 gay characters but this not mean that he is many actors do that and ppl assume that in real life was gay
