Goldstein, who plays the gruff Roy Kent in Ted Lassois one of Shrinkingco-creators, executive producers and writers. In addition to these key roles, Goldstein will be a guest star IN Shrinking season 2, as a character whose name and backstory have not yet been revealed, although he can be briefly seen in the trailer for the Apple TV+ comedy series.
While talking to Hollywood reporter at the premiere in Los Angeles Shrinking season 2, Lawrence joked that Goldstein would have to shave his beard for his guest role. On a more serious note, he explained how he made the mistake of typing Goldstein because of Roy's role in the film Ted Lassoand that it almost prevented him from including his creative partner in the second season, even though Goldstein was a good fit for the role. He also explained why it was important for Goldstein to play a new character. Check out Lawrence's comments below:
There's not much that would be a deal breaker for me, but I wanted him to shave the beard, not so much for the character, but because I knew it would make him a little miserable.
I made the mistake that I think audiences sometimes make of comparing someone to the role they played. He must have been an empathetic, lovely guy, and in my head I thought, “No, Brett is more like (Ted Lasso's character) Roy Kent.” And then I say, “What am I talking about? He is so lovely and wonderful as a person.” Jason Segel really got his act together and said, “What are you doing, man? We should just let Brett play the role. I'm not going to spoil it, but the show only works if you start rooting for this guy, and I think he kills it.
What does this mean for the shrinking Season 2?
