The “Ted Lasso” cast is paying tribute to Anthony Head after the beloved actor’s sudden death at age 72.
Brett Goldstein, who plays Roy Kent on the Apple TV series, shared a photo of Head to his Instagram Stories and called his co-star “a brilliant actor who played the worst person in the world.”
Goldstein called that “an incredible skill” because Head was “the best person.”
“Infinitely charming and kind and fun and a joy,” he added of his dearly departed castmate. “He will be sorely missed. Love to his family ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.”
Head played Rupert Mannion, the vengeful and unfaithful ex-husband of Hannah Waddingham’s Rebecca Welton, across the first three seasons of “Ted Lasso.”
His character was the previous owner of the fictional English soccer team AFC Richmond, which Welton took over after their divorce. He later owned a rival — and non-fictitious — team, West Ham United.
