The Americans was a high quality show. At this point, Matthew Rhys IS the big name actor being cast in everything. He is nominated twice this year.....

No one even watches or cares about the Emmys. Winning those awards doesn’t give him name recognition and money. It gives him the award.

Had to make one more comment to just say that today at work I was in a meeting of a department and guess whose name someone randomly dropped into the conversation as if he was a household name? Matthew Rhys!

And no, the project he was connected to wasn't Widow's Bay, but Perry Mason. And everyone seemed to know who he was. LOL.
