English is not even Matthew Rhys’ first language. So he is a Welshman speaking English playing a Russian pretending to be an American.

[luvyou-baby]

this guy is very underrated, he should be doing more movies

[maxinekampire]

The shock when Mathew starts speaking and you are like why is he faking an accent. Then you google and he is Welsh. I feel like I have been lied to. I am actually questioning what is real. Wow he is a good actor.

[PlethoraShae]

Matthew Rhys’ actual personality is such a bizarre departure from the characters I’ve seen him play. Like him as himself is just... wow.

Has Matthew Rhys ever worked as a comedian? He is downright hilarious!

[arx]

I've watched the two of them being interviewed together a couple of other times, too, and I've been struck by how they make each other laugh. Sign of a good relationship.

I'm sorry, but Matthew Rhys was cracking me up the entire time

[jamesdrynan]

In season four, I laughed & laughed when Gaad said, " I'm in charge of counterintelligence and my secretary married a KGB officer. " A great show and a lovely couple!

[acsol]

matthew is so protective of keri it's adorable

[KhalidKashogi]

Rhys...great sense of humor. Very dark. Very Welsh.

[NafaratMiyaMiya]

Those 2 are much funnier in real life than you would expect... what a cool couple!

[chadczternastek]

Just the fact they chose Matthew Rhys to play that role. He kills it. I am shocked his dialect is so smooth in The Americans. You can not even tell he is Welch. Holy. This guy deserves many awards for The Americans. That show is just phonemonal. One of the best shows I have ever seen.

[SuperEdge]

Keri Russell is as a straight male I can see what she loves about Matthew Rhys. He has a great personality could easily be a comedic actor.

[risingmoon]

Ever since "Felicity" graced our TV screens, Keri Russell was and still is an amazing presence. Specially that she does not age. Never get bored watching her play different roles. Glad she was in "The Americans." Hoping to see more of her on TV.

[Hellman]

Matthew Rhys deserves to be in a comedy movie.

[insomniaismyfriend]

"She's pretty. He's lucky."

[ferashdaib]

the most underrated show ever, when i heard about the show i thought is about Americans life or the Americans dream extra extra but i was WRONG its completely the opposite, its the best spy show ever i mean EVER

[dabombfromguam]

I am somewhat astounded and subsequently impressed by Mathew Rys' verbal eloquence. If he were not an actor, I would consider him a master of linguistics.

[scook]

I love them as a couple, and I love their show. The Americans is what I call quality TV (which is so damn rare).

[georgef]

Matthew Rhys is great! He should be far more popular. Great actor. It’s so crazy to here how good he sounds American on the show.
