ABC's Brothers & Sisters Gay Wedding

In Sunday's Brothers & Sisters season finale episode, the Walker family and guests have gathered in the living room to watch Kevin (Matthew Rhys) exchange vows with longtime beau Scotty Wandell (Luke Macfarlane). This is no typical TV wedding. It's a gay commitment ceremony - the first same-sex union on American network TV between series regulars. "It's all very progressive, evolved and about time," says Rhys. "It's a milestone, and I was really quite pleased that I got to be a part of it," echoes Calista Flockhart, who plays Kevin's big sis Kitty. "It would be interesting to go down the adoption route and see from a legal aspect how Kevin would campaign for that," says Rhys, whose character is an attorney. Executive producer Monica Breen assures, "They will be a family. Kevin deserves a stable relationship in the same way that Kitty, Sarah and all the others deserve it. He will be facing many questions in his life — but now he has someone to share that with." Watch a video...

Brothers & Sisters, starring Sally Field, Matthew Rhys, Rachel Griffiths, Dave Annable, Calista Flockhart, Balthazar Getty, Sarah Jane Morris, John Pyper-Ferguson, Ron Rifkin, Patricia Wettig, Kerris Dorsey, Maxwell Perry Cotton, Rob Lowe, Luke MacFarlane, Eric Winter.

Luke MacFarlane's confidences

On ABC's Brothers & Sisters, Canadian actor Luke Macfarlane plays Scotty Wandell, a gay man in a serious relationship with Kevin Walker (Matthew Rhys). Next month, in the season finale he'll dress his best and say his vows as his character marries his same-sex partner. In an exclusive interview with the Globe & Mail, the 28-year-old actor confides that he wants to be married himself some day, and has finally decided to go public with his own sexual orientation. Though no secret to his family and close friends, Macfarlane has, until now, been guarded about his personal life as a gay man: "I don't know what will happen professionally... that is the fear, but I guess I can't really be concerned about what will happen, because it's my truth." Read full article here... Brothers and Sisters returns Sunday April 20th 10/9c on ABC. Watch a video...

Matthew Rhys, Iris Prize Festival Patron

Welsh Hollywood star Matthew Rhys is now patron of a Welsh festival celebrating gay and lesbian film, the Iris Prize Festival. The Cardiff-born actor agreed to become a patron of the event after winning critical acclaim as gay lawyer Kevin Walker in ABC's drama Brothers And Sisters. In an IC Wales interview with Karen Price, he says he’s proud his character goes against stereotypes. Kevin is not the first gay role which Rhys has landed. He played a homosexual in his first play Cardiff East, in which he had to appear naked on stage. And, along with his best friend Ioan Gruffudd, he was one half of the camp couple Hob and Nob in Very Annie Mary, which was directed by Sara Sugarman, who is also a festival patron. “Sara wanted us to be 100% cliched,” laughs Rhys. But the actor has won praise for portraying Brothers And Sisters’ Kevin in a non-stereotypical way. “I had a long chat with the creator and one of the writers. They said, ‘Don’t go off and research gay people.’ He’s just a guy who happens to be gay. He’s not governed by his sexuality. He has none of the cliched feminine traits. He’s a regular guy.”
The Iris Prize is produced by the Festivals Company. The Company was formed in 2006 by Berwyn Rowlands and James Nee. The purpose of Iris is to create an annual international prize to recognise, celebrate and promote gay and lesbian moving image content, which will also promote tolerance, acceptance and further understanding of the credibility and business of gay and lesbian filmmaking. The Festival will be held at Cineworld and Chapter Arts Centre in Cardiff, Wales, from October 4 to 6. Tickets can be purchased online at www.irisprize.org.
