Brett Goldstein may have become a global sensation for playing a deeply cynical soccer player in Ted Lasso. But at his core, Brett is a guy who loves a big, open-hearted story — one that isn’t embarrassed to show all its feelings and maybe offer up a lesson or two about how to be a good person. That’s what Ted Lasso is all about — and the hit show Shrinking — both of which have Goldstein’s creative fingerprints all over them.
Also, any person who says — with zero irony — that the best day of his life was spent with Muppets on the set of Sesame Street — well, that person loves humanity.
As if creating massively popular TV shows wasn’t enough, Brett Goldstein has a new HBO comedy special coming out April 26 called The Second Best Night of Your Life.
