Brett Goldstein (born 17 July 1980) is a Emmy Award-winning British actor and comedian. He is best known writing and appearing in the film SuperBob.[1][2]

Early life

Goldstein was born in Sutton, London to a British Jewish family, on 17 July 1980.[3] After graduating from school, he went on and attended acting classes in the University of Warwick, from which he graduated with a degree in Film & Feminism.[3]

Soon afterwards, Goldstein briefly relocated to Marbella, Spain to work at strip club which his father purchased during the "midlife crisis."[3] As a result, Goldstein turned the experience into a stand-up comedy show called "Brett Goldstein Grew Up in A Strip Club," which was named by the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.[3]

Career

He also appeared in Channel 4 comedy-drama Derek as Tom. He wrote The Catherine Tate Live Show with Catherine Tate and has written and performed four solo stand up shows. He won the 2016 BIFA for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Brendon in the film Adult Life Skills.

In 2018, Goldstein began the podcast Films to Be Buried With[4] featuring guests talking about films that have been important in their life.

TV producer Bill Lawrence hired Goldstein as a writer for the 2020 Apple TV+ show Ted Lasso, starring Jason Sudeikis. Writing on the show led to Goldstein being cast as the character of aging footballer Roy Kent.[5] He later won the Writers Guild of America Award for Television: Comedy Series at the 73rd Writers Guild of America Awards and received a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series in 2021 for his work on the show.[6]

Together with Black Mirror writer Will Bridges, Goldstein created and wrote the six-part anthology series Soulmates for AMC, which is based on their 2013 short film For Life.[7][8] The series premiered on AMC on 5 October 2020.[9][10] The cast includes Sarah Snook, Malin Akerman, Betsy Brandt, JJ Feild and Charlie Heaton.[11]
