SPOILER ALERT: This interview contains spoilers for Season 3, Episode 6 of “Ted Lasso,” now streaming on Apple TV+. Shortly before Billy Harris landed the role of footballer Colin …
landed the role of footballer Colin Hughes on the Apple TV+ smash “Ted Lasso,” he found himself without an agent. Rather than be discouraged, though, he sent a note to casting director Theo Park to let them know to keep him in mind for an upcoming project. “Lo and behold, a day later, this email came in about a show called ‘Ted Lasso,’” Harris recalls. Harris had only recently graduated from Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, and the show marked his television debut.
In Season 2, I was doing a little more here and there, as my character was developing, and I was very happy. Then there came the line about Grindr. And I read that, and said, “That’s a story in itself. A young guy on a football team talking about Grindr.” So, I realized, this is something that may flourish in the future.
I think we come into acting to tell amazing and important stories, and I knew when I got that script how important this was. A show like this is tackling some really important issues, and as a lover of football, I always knew a storyline like this needed to be tackled. And it’s amazing that they chose Colin to portray it. He says he doesn’t necessarily want to be a spokesperson — his love is football, but he also loves men. And that can go hand-in-hand.
There’s a handful of real-life footballers who’ve come out, like Josh Cavello, who publicly came out on social media in 2021. Were you familiar with their stories or look to them for inspiration or preparation? Well, I was actually there when they shot it, and all the boys kept getting feathers stuck in their throats because it was so intense. So I wasn’t that sad.I can just say you’ll get to see more of his journey.He will be back, you do see Michael again. But I think the most important thing is the next part of this is seeing how Colin, with his newfound buddy in Trent Crimm, can kind of navigate his life at AFC Richmond.Oh wow, he’d take me to some amazing places I bet. He looks well-traveled.
