Why Is Matthew Rhys More Successful Than Richard? Fresh off making Emmy history with his double win for Widow's Bay and The Beast In Me, the hottest actor on earth Matthew talks to Richard about everything under the sun - from trying to join the Army, the advice he got from Sir Anthony Hopkins, his audition to play James Bond with a Cardiff accent, the surreal experience of "making it" after years of uncertainty, meeting his smashing wife Keri Russell on The Americans and the ritual humiliation of having to dress up as a Pot Noodle.
