Turns Out Brett Goldstein Was Up For A Different Ted Lasso Character Before Auditioning For Roy Kent, And I Can’t Even Picture It
As a huge fan, I must share this fascinating behind-the-scenes detail: Initially, Brett Goldstein was the top pick for the character of Higgins on Ted Lasso. He was initially brought onboard as a writer and was even given a glimpse of possibility to portray AFC Richmond’s Director of Communications. However, it turned out that Jeremy Swift, with his swift entry into the picture, snatched the role away, as revealed by Goldstein himself in an interview with Jeremy Egner in the book Believe.
