Description: Matthew Rhys just rewrote Emmy history, winning two lead acting awards in one night — for limited series and comedy — a first in award show history. Once so broke he nearly joined the British Army (they were suspicious of his acting gig), he moved to LA in 2006, formed a tight-knit Welsh actor crew called the ‘LA Tafia,’ and found love on set with Keri Russell from “The Americans.” They’ve been together since 2014 and have a son named Sam. Speaking Welsh as his first language, he dedicated his wins to Wales, saying “diolch yn fawr iawn,” and is now voicing Han Solo in a new Welsh-language Star Wars and set to play Richard Burton in a stage play next year.
