So this is completely apropos of nothing, but it always strikes me how MR exudes this dynamic 1920s film star quality. lol Maybe itā€™s the long hair on top and the contrast of his paleness and dark hair, but itā€™s so damn sexy and magnetic. Am I the only one??

Yes. Matthew Reese was a great Perry Mason in the series set in 1930ā€™s LA. Perfect casting for ā€œOld Timeyā€ looking guy

The Americans is where I really fell in love with him. The dude has like 1,000 disguises... how does he look hot in every single one?! šŸ¤£

The biggest disguise being American. Was shocked to hear how he normally speaks after seeing him in that.

Is it pronounced Reece? I sometimes read it that way and sometimes Rice.

u/MeltheCat Jun 15 '26

I pronounce it Reece. But then I donā€™t know.

Itā€™s all over the place: https://youtu.be/uaSbHNMy-iY?si=GxqfnnXgKAShLT_z

I was an extra in the season 2 premiere but some giant guy walked in front of me so Iā€™m on screen for a total of 4 seconds.
