‘The Americans’ On FX To Star Keri Russell, Matthew Rhys

It all started with a slap for Matthew Rhys. Trying out for “The Americans,” he took one in the puss from Keri Russell.

TVGuide.com sat down with Russell to find out why she signed on, what’s in store for the Jenningses and how Felicity creator J.J. Abrams had a certain prescience about her new job. Continue reading Felicity’s Keri Russell Is All Grown-Up and Spying on The Americans
