'The Americans': Join a live chat with Matthew Rhys on Tuesday

June 10, 2013 11 AM PT

He’s a Soviet spy living the American dream on FX’s “The Americans.” And he knows kung fu.

On Tuesday at 11 a.m. PDT, join Matthew Rhys and Times staff writer Glenn Whipp for a live video chat about Rhys’ complicated, committed and, at times, comical turn as Cold War-era Russian agent Phillip Jennings.

We’ll talk about the best ways to go undercover as an American suburbanite in a time of Big Hair and presidential jelly beans, Rhys’ chemistry with costar Keri Russell and, really, anything you want to ask. There are no secrets here. Everything’s fair game. Join us, won’t you?

Rhys will know by then how he fared in Monday night’s Critics’ Choice Television Awards. He is up for best actor in a drama series against some well-known contenders: Bryan Cranston (“Breaking Bad”), Damian Lewis (“Homeland”), Andrew Lincoln (“The Walking Dead”), Timothy Olyphant (“Justified”) and Kevin Spacey (“House of Cards”).
