Matthew Rhys opens up about his struggle for ‘The Beast in Me’
Matthew Rhys recently revealed he had to convince The Beast in Me team that he could pull off being creepy.
In a talk with Entertainment Weekly, the 50-year-old Welsh actor admitted when he read the script of Netflix’s show, The Beast in Me, he thought the role of Nile Jarvis, a real estate tycoon suspected of killing his wife, was out of his reach.
Sharing his thoughts, Rhys said, “I read it and I was like, ‘I won’t get this. People don’t come to me for this.’ I have these Celtic eyes. I do downtrodden well, I don’t do megalomaniac or sociopath.”
Moreover, the show’s creator, Howard Gordon, went on to offer his thoughts on The Edge of Love star’s audition, noting he could not get a chance to depict a role of sociopath or megalomaniac before.
“He brought something else to it. He’s so charming and funny and charismatic. But he is scary,” Gordon confessed.
“I had to persuade them that I can be creepy,” Rhys quipped and added with a joke that he ‘parked outside’ cast member Claire Danes’ residence to prove his point, saying, “That seemed to do it.”
For the unversed, in The Beast in Me, Danes plays Aggie Wiggs, an author who cannot write after her young son’s death. When Nile moves in next door and wants a running path, Wiggs argues with him, until she thinks he might be the “perfect subject” for her next book.
It is pertinent to mention that The Beast in Me is slated to be released on November 13, 2025.

‘The Odyssey’ director comments on Donald Trump’s controversial movies tarrifs
Oscar-winning director Christopher Nolan has shared his opinion about the controversial movies’ tariffs proposal.
Nolan, who is the newly elected president for the Directors Guild of America, commented on the matter while setting out priorities for the company.
US President has proposed 100% tax on films made outside of America.
“I don’t know how a tariff system would work”, said the Oppenheimer director.
While speaking with Variety, the 55-year-old filmmaker opened that there are more serious conversations that require much focus than the movies tariffs.
He said in a statement, “I will say that since President Trump has started bandying these ideas around, there’s a much more serious conversation from the studios about how to improve the situation in the United States – to be perfectly frank about it.”
The Dark Knight filmmaker emphasized on the incentives that will be lost and stressed upon the unemployment that will prevail in the country.
“If you look at the overall spending from the consumer on media, on entertainment, on our work, it’s extremely stable.
“But we’re looking at a 35 percent to 40 percent decline in employment for our members.”
Nolan raised these concerns after the filming of The Odyssey around the Mediterranean.
