While the West End has long known Hannah Waddingham, many of us discovered this actress gem when she appeared as the owner of a football team on the hit show. ted lasso. As many of us would do now, the series Star Brett Goldstein had a fan moment when he first met the actress due to her onstage story.
The actor behind Roy Kent recently recalled the story of when he first met his co-star at the first table he read along with the rest of the ted lasso issue. Goldstein said The Zero Report (opens in a new tab):
During the first full reading, I approached like a crazy stalker and told him how awesome he was and that I had seen all of his work. She was polite and scared.
There is a good reason the actor is so dazzled. Before Ted Lasso, the average fan probably recognized Waddingham for her role as a nun that puts Cersei in shame game of Thrones. However, big fans know that she has had an impressive run in both the West End and Broadway. she played The Wizard of Oz Yes some night musicin the West End. The actress was also nominated for an Olivier Award for her role as Lady of the Lake in a lot of spam, and played the character in London and New York. It was the role Goldstein really loved, as she put it:
I consider her one of the best actresses I’ve ever seen on the West End stage. Her voice, her nuance, her comedic timing. of her lady of the lake [in Spamalot] It’s still one of the funniest shows I’ve ever seen.
Fortunately, all of these aspects described by Goldstein can be observed in ted lasso. As for the singing, we had the honor of hearing Waddingham’s beautiful voice on the show several times. He sang “Let It Go” by Frozen in the first and second seasons he gave us some lovely Christmas songs. Her acting nuance can also be seen during the show, but especially in her interpretation of the friendship between his character Rebecca and Ted Lasso , played by Jason Sudeikis. In Season 2, we got to see more of his brilliant comic timing, and I guess we’ll see even more in ted lasso Season 3 .
Plus, hearing that Goldstein was head over heels for Waddingham is incredible as they both received accolades for their roles as Roy and Rebecca respectively. The two actors, along with other cast members, went to the List of Emmy Award Winners 2021 and both were nominated in 2022, with Goldstein winning a second time and adding his name to the list of 2022 Emmy Winners .
Praise has flown left and right for Waddingham, from his ability to sing to his acting, and even calling it a “sex symbol”. Although we have to wait a little longer for next season’s ted lasso you can check the TV program 2022 as well as Waddingham in the highly anticipated sleight of hand 2, or review seasons 1 and 2 of the insanely popular football comedy with a AppleTV + subscription .
