Matthew Rhys has never heard of International Male catalog!
Just in case there was any doubt that Matthew Rhys, who plays gay attorney Kevin Walker on "Brothers & Sisters" is straight off screen, I need no further proof than the following exchange recounted in his current cover story in "The Advocate."
Writer Dennis Hensley writes:
Rhys’s clothes -- aqua polo shirt, Paper denim jeans and brown half boots from Barneys -- aren’t actually his; they’re Kevin’s, but they look good on him nonetheless. Kevin is nothing if not tasteful. “When it comes to Kevin’s costumes, they didn’t want them to sort of shout gay!” explains Rhys. So, I ask, we won’t be seeing Kevin in anything from the International Male catalog?
“What’s that?” Rhys asks blankly.
Aaaarg!!! Here are some other exceprts:
On Kevin: “I love Kevin because in his professional life you get to play the man in charge, in control, very successful, powerful, assertive,” says the 32-year old Londoner. “And on the flip side, in his personal life he’s a bit of a puppy... I love his flaws...Kevin learns from his mistakes. Under the dry sense of humor and the caustic repartee, he just wants to meet that one partner, and he hopes that’ll complete everything. I find that quite touching about him.”
