‘The Americans’ Star Jokes About Show’s Connection to Lewinsky Scandal as Cast, Writers Tease End of FX Series

With just two seasons left of The Americans, fans of the FX series about Cold War-era Soviet espionage are eager to know how it will end.

Co-showrunners Joel Fields and Joe Weisberg remained tight-lipped about specific developments planned for seasons five and six during The Hollywood Reporter’s TV Talks panel discussion with chief TV critic Tim Goodman but they did discuss, in broad terms, how they were approaching the end of the critically-acclaimed show (which earned its first Emmy nominations in major categories this year). And star Matthew Rhys was full of humorous suggestions for a dramatic finale.

Speaking at the 92nd Street Y in New York, the actor, who was joined by his on- and off-screen partner Keri Russell, joked throughout the panel about ideas for how the central secret, that Rhys and Russell’s characters are Russian spies posing as a married American couple in the U.S., would be revealed.

“I think the last scene is [the couple’s FBI agent neighbor] Stan Beeman (Noah Emmerich) going, ‘Wait. They were what?’,” Rhys quipped.

Russell also prompted Rhys to reveal his other idea, which involves a connection between the couple’s teenage daughter Paige (Holly Taylor) to one of the most famous political sex scandals of the late ’90s.

“Paige changes her name to Monica Lewinsky,” Rhys said to laughs and murmuring from the audience. Continue reading ‘The Americans’ Star Jokes About Show’s Connection to Lewinsky Scandal as Cast, Writers Tease End of FX Series

Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy Hosts Brooklyn Black Tie Ball

Keri and Matthew Rhys attend the Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy hosts the Brooklyn Black Tie Ball at Pier 2 at Brooklyn Bridge Park on October 6 in Brooklyn, New York. The Brooklyn Black Tie Ball on Thursday raised a record-breaking $1.1 million to benefit Brooklyn Bridge Park. Of course, this being Brooklyn, guests riffed on the dress code: Keri Russell went for a chic velvet Saint Laurent cropped tux and sheer silk Saint Laurent “bow blouse” to match with dashing date Matthew Rhys.

The pair sat at a table hosted by Met Gala guru Sylvana Durrett, with Rag & Bone CEO Marcus Wainwright, Meredith Melling and Elettra Wiedemann. Starwood’s Barry Sternlicht, behind 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge, was honored along with Regina Myer. A sold-out crowd of 800 at Pier 2 was so jazzed, comic emcee Wyatt Cenac seriously warned against the excessive “jibber jabber.”

The New Power New York List

Introduction
There are as many power lists in New York as there are Uber drivers. Most celebrate long-standing legends like Harvey Weinstein, Barbara Walters, and Michael Bloomberg. But there’s a new league of movers and shakers upending the entertainment business in Manhattan and beyond. These trailblazers tend to be more digitally savvy, entrepreneurial, and unafraid to ruffle feathers.

Keri Russell
Actress

The star of “The Americans” is at the top of her game as an actress, earning raves on the FX drama, which films in Brooklyn. This year, Emmy voters finally recognized her work with a best actress nomination. She navigated between her day job and her role in the Civil War big-screen drama “Free State of Jones” this year all while preparing for the arrival in June of son, Sam, a co-production with her boyfriend and “Americans” co-star, Matthew Rhys.

Metropolitan Opera opening night gala

Yet again, The Americans co-stars Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys have served as living proof that true love does exist. The cute couple, who welcomed son, Sam, in May, coordinated in all-black ensembles for a performance of Tristan und Isolde at the Met Opera house on Monday.

Though they play spies on television, Russell and Rhys were unable to disguise their happiness as they posed, sharing many laughs and smiles outside of the venue. Rhys looked dapper and opera-appropriate in a sleek black tuxedo and dress shoes, showcasing his best accessory on an outstretched arm: his love and the mother of his child.

The Felicity star stunned in a flattering asymmetrical jumpsuit that showed off one toned arm and hid the other beneath a flowing cape. Russell accessorized with a bold set of diamond earrings lining each lobe and kept her hair pulled back in a simple, yet elegant, low bun.
