RHYS’ PIECES
BOOK YOU’RE READING Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut
SHOW YOU’RE BINGEING Slow Horses with Gary Oldman. It’s brilliant.
FAVORITE TIME OF DAY Sunset I just love the end of the day. It’s like, O.K., everything’s done, there’s no more work emails, the day is done. So now we just kind of relax.
NICKNAME GROWING UP Bic. I cut myself so badly with a Bic raýor that for a short period of time, I was called Bic. I was like 12, but there was nothing to shave
BEEN GOOGLING LATELY I don’t know why I’m telling you this, because Keri doesn’t know. If she knows, she’ll kill me. But there’s no heating ¨in my shed© and it’s been incredibly cold here in New York, so today I was Googling a kerosene heater£which, in a wooden shed, is probably a terrible idea Now Googling, “How likely is the shed to combust if I use a kerosene heater?”
LISTENING TO The last album I listened to is Rum, Sodomy & the Lash by The Pogues.
ROLE YOU’D LOVE TO PLAY There’s a Welsh Braveheart story I have been trying to get made. His name was Owain Glyndǀr my father was named after him. He was kind of the last Welsh prince who led the rebellion against England in the 16th century. You know, big, epic sword number. I’ve been knocking on doors for years, going, “Please can we make it?”
FAVORITE WINE Either a Pomerol or a Saint-Űmilion from
Bordeaux. There’s a Pomerol called Chƶteau de Sales which I drink far too much of.
JOB YOU’D ENJOY AS MUCH AS ACTING Cowboy. When I lived in L.A., I became friendly with a professional rodeo cowboy. I grew up riding horses and I had my own horses when I was in L.A. I used to keep them in GriĦth Park, so I’d ride every day and I’ve spent time on ranches and just loved it.
PROJECT YOU’D JOIN FORCES WITH KERI AGAIN FOR Do you remember HART TO HART? Because they’re all coming back now. They’re remaking everything! COMPARED TO PERRY MASON, HOW GOOD AN ATTORNEY YOU’D BE I would be terrible! I would be appalling. My admiration for what they do is tenfold. They have to be, like, eight steps ahead of the game and react to what is going on in real time. The preparation they do for those cases is just enormous. I would not be TOM CRUISE in A FEW GOOD MEN.
