In this interview, Fields talks about the conceptualization and development of <em>The Americans<\/em>, and he talks about authenticity, music and the so-called \u201cantihero genre\u201d. We have seen many tragic heroes and antiheroes in literature, theater, film and television \u2013 from Richard III to Tony Soprano and Walter White \u2013 but Elizabeth and Philip Jennings (Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys) were never conceived as antiheroes.
