Brett Goldstein (b. 1980) is an actor and writer best known for his role as Roy Kent on Ted Lasso.
In February 2022, Goldstein recorded material for Season 53 of Sesame Street, including a "Word of the Day" video released in April. A short video of Goldstein, Big Bird, and Oscar the Grouch was shared across the show's various social media accounts in February. The video is a nod to a scene from the first season of Ted Lasso where Goldstein's character Roy Kent takes an ice bath in a garbage can, to which Ted Lasso (Jason Sudeikis) refers to him as a "brunette Oscar the Grouch."
Goldstein is a self-professed fan of the Muppets and performed a six-minute recreation of The Muppet Christmas Carol as part of his stand-up act in 2017.[1]
Goldstein has also had roles on Derek (with Ricky Gervais), Doctor Who, and Robot Chicken.
