The signing with the Hollywood talent agency follows the actor, creator, writer and producer signing an overall deal with Warner Bros. TV. Goldstein is a series regular, writer and co-executive producer on Apple TV+’s Ted Lasso comedy.

His performance as Roy Kent earned him the 2021 Emmy Award and 2022 Critics Choice Award for best support actor in a comedy. Goldstein recently secured a big raise for his role on the popular comedy and, having penned multiple episodes of the series, he also secured a raise for his writing services.                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

As a creator, Goldstein is writing and executive producing the upcoming Apple TV+ comedy series Shrinking, alongside Bill Lawrence and Jason Segal, who will star. This follows the AMC limited anthology series Soulmates, which Goldstein created and executive produced with Will Bridges.
