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.

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.
