Ted Lasso decided we could all use an advance on holiday cheer.
But as the episode unfolds, Higgins finds himself host to virtually the whole team in a heartwarming sequence that illustrates how much the players have bonded under their new coach.
He has an Emmy nomination for best supporting actor in a comedy series, competing against fellow Ted Lasso actors Brett Goldstein, Brendan Hunt, and Nick Mohammed.
When he said no one ever attends, I thought, oh no, this is going to be a sad one for him.
But of course it’s a reflection of Ted’s positivity and bringing people together as a community.
But we do see at home in the first season that he’s got a solid marriage, and teenage kids who are going to be a little bit whiny, but he’s there for them.
Why do you think he was able to see who Ted Lasso was? Is it because Higgins was so often overlooked himself?Yes, that’s a very good take on it.
We had an awful lot of fun doing it.
In episode two of the first season, there’s a scene where I was putting up my hand for a high five as the players are walking past, and not one takes me up on it.
