The Welsh charmer Matthew Rhys, who became the first person to win two Lead Actor Emmys in a single night, first broke out as a likable gay lawyer on the ABC family drama “Brothers and Sisters.” In 2013, his Emmy-winning role in the FX series “The Americans” confirmed his status as one of the great leading men on television. This year, in a startling one-two punch, Rhys broke out all over again: first, he played a sociopathic real-estate magnate in “The Beast in Me,” and then, a single father who’s determined to re-brand his cursed New England island as the new Bar Harbor in “Widow’s Bay.” Back in June, in a conversation with Emily Nussbaum, Rhys discussed the “Widow’s Bay” ’s emotional season finale, his formative love for Richard Burton, and the subtle power of scarfing a whole chicken onscreen.
