Matthew Rhys (Kevin on "Brothers & Sisters" not only turns in a realistic and appealing performance on the shoiw each week, but he's a straight actor who doesn't have any kind of issues with kissing other men - on-screen.
That doesn't mean it doesn't take some getting used to.
"I remember the first time I kissed a guy onstage in rehearsals for a play, feeling like near-electric shock. I was like, What's that?It was because he had a beard. Also, when you kiss a girl, you slightly take control, you know-you assert a role," he says in an interview with The Advocate.
Rhys says with men, he finds himself sort of jockeying for control.
"Some people say kissing's more intimate than sex, and I sort of agree. It's like the ultimate intimate thing."

Tomorrow: Sally Field on Rhys and his on-screen siblings.
