Brett Goldstein is best known for playing the curmudgeonly footballer Roy Kent on Ted Lasso, but he's hanging up his cleats to step into a secretive role in the second season of Shrinking .

The showrunner also unpacks the season's message of forgiveness and how it will play out for all its characters, including those played by Jason Segel, Harrison Ford and Jessica Williams.

"I have a lot of experience being Marshall Eriksen and then working to have people see me as other characters; I know he probably deals with that as Roy Kent," Segel said of casting Goldstein in an unexpected part.
