Actor, writer, and comedian Brett Goldstein has made, by his own admission, \u201cloads of stuff that no one\u2019s watched.\u201d As he explains to Backstage, breakthrough successes in the biz are always the result of unseen projects, rejections, and persistent hard work. Now that his latest, \u201cTed Lasso,\u201d is an Emmy-dominating hit, Brett is reminding himself of what truly matters and passing that onto his fellow artists. \u201cThe fame and success and awards should never be the aim. The aim should be: Are you enjoying the making of the thing?\u201d\n\nBrett got his start in fringe theater shows and stand-up stages in his native England, starring on \u201cDerek,\u201d \u201cHoff the Record,\u201d and \u201cAdult Life Skills,\u201d for which he won a British Independent Film Award. He created shorts that became the film \u201cSuperBob,\u201d the AMC series \u201cSoulmates,\u201d and more, and ended up collaborating with Catherine Tate on \u201cCatherine Tate\u2019s Nan\u201d and with Bill Lawrence on a pilot, the latter leading him to \u201cTed Lasso.\u201d The hit Apple TV+ comedy, co-created by and starring \u200b\u200bJason Sudeikis, hired Brett as first a writer and then as aging football captain Roy Kent, roles that have earned him a Writers Guild Award, ensemble SAG Award nomination, and now Primetime Emmy nod.\n\nStay tuned for Backstage casting insider Christine McKenna-Tirella\u2019s update, which includes covering the recent changes to Actors\u2019 Equity Association membership: https://bit.ly/375N44z\n---\nBackstage has been the #1 resource for actors and talent-seekers for 60 years.
