Brett Goldstein has a busy schedule. The British actor/writer is currently starring in and writes for the Apple TV+ sports comedy “Ted Lasso.” The series follows Ted (played by show co-creator and “SNL” alum Jason Sudeikis), an American football coach who’s recruited to coach an English Premier League soccer team — despite having little knowledge of soccer or of the UK. Goldstein plays the team’s surly captain, Roy Kent. Goldstein also co-created “Soulmates,” premiering Oct.5 on AMC. It’s an episodic anthology set in a near-future where science develops a test enabling people to discover their true loves. He’s also appeared in episodes of “Doctor Who” and “Derek,” the Ricky Gervais series on Netflix. Goldstein,40, spoke to The Post about why he finally made his father proud with “Ted Lasso,” working with Jason Sudeikis, “Soulmates” and more. I’m a huge fan of [series co-creator] Bill Lawrence. I like that ‘Scrubs’ is very funny and silly and broad, but also emotional and real — sometimes within the same scene. I think that’s very impressive. I hadn’t met Jason before; I had like an hour-and-a-half [FaceTime] meeting with him at 1 in the morning and we got on so well.
