- Rhys is a three-time nominee at this year's Emmys, also up for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy for Apple TV's "Widow's Bay" and sharing in "The Beast in Me's" Outstanding Limited Series nomination as an executive producer.
- Rhys has earned eight career Emmy nominations, including three nods and one win for the FX series "The Americans" and a prior nomination for HBO's "Perry Mason," in which he played the title role.
- Rhys is staying in business with Apple TV beyond "Widow's Bay" with a lead role in "Presumed Innocent" Season 2, extending his relationship with the streamer across at least two current shows.
Why it matters: Rhys now holds two career Emmy wins — his first for FX's "The Americans," now this — while extending an Apple TV partnership that spans "Widow's Bay" and "Presumed Innocent" Season 2, consolidating his role as a marquee face for the streamer heading into its next programming cycle.
