Emmy winner Brett Goldstein, who plays the hot-tempered but bookish star-player-turned-coach Roy Kent on Ted Lasso and also serves as writer and co-executive producer on the series, has signed with WME for representation.

Goldstein’s performance as Roy Kent won him the 2021 Emmy Award and 2022 Critics Choice Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series, along with a 2022 SAG Award alongside his castmates for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series. He also won two WGA Awards as part of the show’s writing team and received nominations for a 2022 Golden Globe Award and 2022 SAG Awards in their respective supporting actor categories.
