In their Actors on Actors conversation, Theo James (‘The White Lotus’) and Brett Goldstein (‘Ted Lasso’) talk improvising and working behind the camera. Theo talks about developing Cameron and Daphne’s relationship and portraying a dynamic that differs from “standardized monogamy.” Brett opens up about the ‘Ted Lasso’ writers room and how a dinner led to Harrison Ford joining the cast of ‘Shrinking.’

theyre so polite and eager to actually hear each others answers. this is probably one of the most informative and in-depth actors on actors I've seen
Variety’s Actors on Actors TV 2023 has been the very best. Literally the pairings are 💯
Theo is hot!!!!
This pairing is amazing! Such an easy watch!
What a pair! I need them to work together now 😍
I loved this interview. Actors ask actors the best questions.
these two seem to have a good vibe with each other – Get Theo on Ted Lasso if theres any more series coming
The perfect pairing – thanks, Variety ❤
🤸🏽♂️ 🥂 🖖🏼
That’s interesting! Shall we be friends?
❤️❤️
This was a match I didn't know I needed.
WHISTLE!!
those voices tho!
Sasha!
The handsomest duo
6:05 I think Brett hit the nail on the head regarding Theo’s character in The White Lotus. Listening to Theo James speak is really interesting. The insight he has into whatever the topic of discussion is is pretty fascinating. I guess that’s his philosophy degree coming through.
I may have to watch Ted Lasso now 😁
I wonder if Brett was talking about Nate in Ted Lasso when he said it seemed like the writers hated his character after season 1….
This was fantastic. I don't know how Variety keeps doing it but all the sessions/parings this year have been just phenomena. Really, really like Bret, and Theo has evoled into a terrific actor. This went by like it was 10 minutes. Amazing industry insights from both.
I ain’t gonna lie their voices are hot AF…. I could listen to them all day
Brett Goldstein is friggin hilarious in Ted Lasso
Wonderful interview. I love Brett Goldstein so much! And Theo James is total eye candy 🥵
Love the shout out to "Franny", it's a great film and one of Theo's best performances.
What show do we think he’s talking about at 20:52 ?
Superbob.
Theo is such a perfect specimen of a man, his face, body and kind heart 💜
Theo was excellent in The Time Travellers Wife. So disappointed that didn't get a second season.
Cannot help but wonder if he's talking about Community at 21:00
🥰🥰🥰
They are so British 😂
I felt like both dudes were assholes in the white lotus – maybe it was just me?
I loved this one from start to finish, both of them are so talented and I was surprised to see the pairing but really enjoyed how easily the conversation flowed, also was very insightful for us as viewers into the minds of actors and their different styles
this is my joker
Guess they should mention K Hart ripping off Brett Goldstein’s writing to do a bank commercial. Which begs the question has Hart always been a plagiarist.
Still wasn’t long enough 😂😭
He’s there he’s there he’s every fucking where … ROY KENT ROOOOY KEEEENNNTTTT
THEO JAMES !!!
I agree with almost all the praise these lately joints have meshed like a mofo
WHOEVER CAST THESE KNOWS WHAT THEYRE DOING 🥵
Omg Brett’s natural voice!!
I'd be willing to bet a fair amount of money that the show Brett was talking about where the second season there was no love for a particular character was Euphoria and the character was Kat.
Theo ❤️
Oh my god these men are sexy
The way Brett was so quick to talk about Phil Dunster is so healing to me
mind is blown
You wanna be in it? 😂😂
Ugh they are both so hot in more ways than one. I would give up a kidney to be with them ahahahah
this is like the best thing ever
It’s so weird hearing Brett talk and it not being that deep gruff voice lol
