roy kent game ted lasso Brett Goldstein was not the most successful of his career, with an Emmy and numerous accolades; The role of a quick-tempered but book star turned coach gave viewers one of the most indelible characters of our time. As the show’s co-producer, writer and story editor, Goldstein is an important part of its international success. His next project sees him rejoin the band as an EP and writer. ted lasso Co-producer Bill Lawrence for diminish, Another Apple TV + series, about a sad therapist played by Jason Segel, with Harrison Ford.
Deadline: when you started writing ted lassoYou haven’t gotten to the role of Roy Kent yet, so how has his acting affected the writing?
Brett Goldstein: I always try not to interfere with Roy’s pitch because I know I can be very, very protective of Roy. So I don’t want to say “No, Roy won’t do that, shut up”. But I really do have a part of Roy [in me]. I think it’s always half your character, half your character, all the time. I think for everyone. It’s easier for me to talk about other actors because I can say, for example, Kylie, we changed Kylie’s character based on how it was written because Juno [Temple] It was so fun, brilliant and a little bit unique. We used to say, “Oh, we have to use Juno Kyle a lot when we write.” Of course, this is what everyone has commented, which is ridiculous, that when someone in Roy’s writers room tells Roy, everyone looks at me. Another writer told me the other day, he said, “We all look at you and see what your brows look like to see if you like the idea.” But as a general rule I’ll be quiet, because I don’t want to be like “I hate” or “like”. But they always check my brows to see if they move. I think if the brows are real, it means I probably didn’t like the idea. [laughs].
Deadline: The show deals with masculinity in a way we don’t normally see, especially the way it involves Roy and Ted. When did you know the program was going to connect with people?
Goldstein: Well, I didn’t know it was going to be successful, I can tell. And he didn’t know people would contact him. But I knew the intention was clear from the start that what we were doing was coming from Jason. [Sudeikis] All down the street. So when we found out, we knew it from the start. It was incorporated into the concept. It was an attempt to bring these things into the world. We never approached it as ridiculous chains. He always had this other thing incorporated.
Deadline: It started as an NBC promo and evolved into an Emmy-winning comedy series. Will the success of the show surprise you again?
Goldstein: I said it before, I promise I will not be humble, false humble or anything. I honestly didn’t think anyone would see this show. Apple TV was, it was new. I thought most people didn’t even know how to get to the object, let alone look at something on it. I thought, no one will see it. We have created something truly special for ourselves and no one will see it. And I didn’t even know if he would connect. He was half English, half American and a lot of times it doesn’t work and football rarely works on screen. There were so many things that were there that it might not work. I didn’t really think anyone was watching it, so it’s like this … it’s weird, it’s crazy. it’s crazy
Deadline: The show is said to have only lasted three seasons. Could its success lead to something more?
Goldstein: It completely depends on Jason. As for what we write, we write it as if it were the end. If there had been more, of course we could have written more, but the story we’re telling is a three-act story that we’ve always wanted to tell and it ends. I don’t want to spoil it, but most of the characters die to the end. [deadpans]. The real end is. It is a dramatic ending.
Deadline: Well, the end of the second season was very dramatic …
Goldstein: Yes, and we have to up the ante!
Deadline: Develop a character like Nati. Do you think this is one of the reasons why the program works?
Goldstein: When we write a story, we have everything on the board and we plan according to the characters. Based on the character’s story, where does the character go? What pays? You look at Jamie Tart and put it as someone we don’t like, and then you start to find out why that’s the case, and you get paid in the end. I have no words, but history is characterized by this. Characters are a story; What is your story and what is your psychological journey.
Deadline: Personally, what makes you proud to play Roy Kent?
GoldsteinHere, I’ll never take it for granted. I feel like I’m dying, do you know what I mean? The fact that this is the most important part of doing great work with the best people makes me feel very lucky. And also, in my career, when the time came, I would say, “I think I’ve lost my place.” I’ve been doing things for 20 years and it’s okay, but I think no one has seen or noticed it, and I was like, ‘Well that’s it. “I think I’m just doing things that no one else is seeing, and that’s fine as long as I can pay my bills.” It was a bet, which I would have signed up for. But it really made sense as a call on this part of the case. So I feel it’s magical and I’m incredibly lucky and I’m afraid everything will fall apart and you wake up and it’s a dream.
Deadline: how Descending it will come?
Goldstein: He’s already started shooting, so here he is. I work on it remotely from England before shooting takes place in Los Angeles. I learned a lot from Jason Sudeikis and ted lasso. It is a hellish experience. I think the main thing is the intention and make sure not to do anything insignificant. What I don’t like to do is stuff. There are many things that I am just happy with. I hate that word, but there are all these outlets, there are a lot of things that fill a big space and I hate filling the space with anything. Whatever you do, even if it’s a little show, make sure you put some love into it, and it’s not just, “Oh, it’s gonna be okay now. That’s pretty funny.” I think you must have a meaning behind it, whatever that is. Otherwise, you waste people time.
Deadline: This is Harrison Ford’s first television role. How did it happen?
Goldstein: So far it’s been great. I thought about it and it was always fun. He is funny Indiana JonesHe’s funny in all his relationships, he’s funny by nature. She hasn’t done a stand-up yet and you should ask her, but I think she loves it and it’s a lot of fun. When we published the first blog post, she was just killing the room. It was amazing. I think she’s thrilled to be able to do a real comedy because, as it seems to me, I think she always wanted to do it and never got the chance to do it. So it’s amazing that this man has you at his age and with his talent he can do something new. Very nice.
