Welsh actor Matthew Rhys found fame as Sally Field’s gay son on long-running Brothers & Sisters (the wine was real!) and credits her as his mentor. He also directed a handful of episodes of the show, and therein lies a story of unequivocal lobbying to score such a coveted gig. His latest movie is an elegant remake of Alec Guinness’s The Scapegoat, just out on DVD on Eagle Entertainment. He talks about all this with IAN HORNER.
