Matthew Rhys Shares How Fatherhood Has Changed Him: ‘I Cry a Lot Easier These Days’ (Exclusive)


Matthew Rhys shared at SXSW that raising his 8-year-old son, Sam, with partner Keri Russell helped him prepare for his new film, 'Hallow Road,' in which he plays a concerned father who races against time to help his daughter.

The Brothers & Sisters star, 50, shared on the red carpet for Hallow Road at SXSW that raising his 8-year-old son, Sam, with partner Keri Russell, 48, helped him slip into the character in the film, in which he plays a concerned father who races against time to help his daughter. Hallow Road is a thriller that follows two parents, who “receive a distressing late-night phone call from their daughter after she caused a tragic car accident,” according to a synopsis of the film. Rhys, who also shares two step-children with Russell — River, 17 and Willa Lou, 12 — also noted that there was an additional similarity between himself and his character in that they both had children who could drive.
