How gunslingers, depression, a classic Dickensian villain and, yes, a beautiful love story helped shape TedLasso's brooding hero Roy Kent.
"It's nice to watch people be nice to each other." That's the line you most often hear someone use when they talk up Apple's breakout smash hitrelentlessly optimistic American coach navigating the unfamiliar waters of England's Premier League football may provide some kind-hearted highs, those moments only land in contrast to the real and traumatic lows experienced by all of the show's characters.
There was an extraordinary interview you gave in the earliest days of the show where you talked about how if you asked someone like Roy Kent in his twenties about what he wanted to do after football he would say kill himself. That there is no post-football for Roy Kent. How much are you actively engaging with an idea like that in Season 2?
I loved it. It was insanely long, that run, because I think each tiny bit of that sequence was filmed over like two and a half weeks. So when I did finally get there...there've been so many moments on this job that feel like magic but the moment where I walked back onto the pitch for the first time with a crowd and they’re doing the Roy Kent chant. Just walking out you get goosebumps and it’s really fucking special. Again, the longer you hold off, the more hopefully satisfying it is.
Listen, I think it's really, really hard. You have to remember that the thing you made, you made it the way you made not listening to these million other voices. You know what I mean? How we made the thing was not crowdsourced. It's quite tricky mentally because it's so wonderful to read the lovely things. It plays in my mind every single day and equally you have to develop some skill where you can switch that off so you can concentrate on this story we're telling.
You mention some of that ugliness that the show engages in. Of course it’s gotten this reputation for being a cozy feel-good show but that’s only part of what’s going on withJason says, and I do agree with him, that the funny stuff is easy. Without sounding pretentious, if you get the emotional truth right, then you're set. Then the funny stuff you can pile on as much or as little as you want. I give all the credit to Jason, Brendan and Joe.
It's a manifestation of the fact that he is covering feelings that he cannot let out. He has to keep his voice almost like a cork and hold everything down. Because if he let it out, he’d be a wreck. You know what I mean?
