Despite already winning the award last year, Ted Lasso actor Brett Goldstein is reacting to his Emmy nomination in the most Roy Kent way possible. Goldstein stars in the series as Roy, a veteran box-to-box midfielder and team captain who initially proves problematic in welcoming Jason Sudeikis' titular coach to AFC Richmond. As the series went on, Roy would come around to becoming friends with Ted and, after retiring at the end of season 1, would return to the team as a member of Ted's coaching staff.
Alongside Sudeikis and Goldstein, the ensemble cast for Ted Lasso includes Hannah Waddingham, Jeremy Swift, Phil Dunster, Brendan Hunt, Nick Mohammed, Juno Temple, Sarah Niles and Toheeb Jimoh. Based on the eponymous character first created by NBC Sports and developed by Sudeikis, Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence, Hunt and Joe Kelly, the Apple TV+ series has scored rave reviews from critics and audiences alike for its heartwarming tone, well-meaning themes, charming humor and the performances from its cast. Ted Lasso season 1 scored big at the Primetime Emmy Awards with 20 nominations, the most for any freshman comedy series, and brought home four statues, including Best Actor for Sudeikis, Best Actress for Waddingham, Outstanding Comedy Series and Best Supporting Actor for Goldstein, and with season 2 seeing higher acclaim than its predecessor, one star is excited about their awards chances.
