Rhys on Danes: "Capacity for Perfectionism is Infuriating"

Matthew Rhys shared that he finds his "Beast in Me" co-star Claire Danes' dedication to perfectionism to be "infuriating." He described her professionalism as being "to the nth degree." In contrast, Danes stated that she truly finds nothing to be annoyed by regarding Rhys, highlighting his positive qualities as a person and an actor.

The acclaimed actors, who portray neighbors with a contentious relationship in the new drama series, maintain a strong friendship in their personal lives. Danes remarked that their collaboration on the show was "very pleasant," with Rhys adding that such dynamics often foster greater on-set camaraderie and a necessary release of tension.

The series "The Beast in Me" centers on author Aggie Wiggs (Danes) investigating her neighbor, Nile Jarvis (Rhys), who was a former suspect in his wife's disappearance. Rhys also commented on his character, describing him as "mildly sadistic" and relishing discomfort, especially when he finds a match in Aggie.
