Ted Lasso Rich List: The Wealthiest Actors in the Soccer Comedy, Ranked

The feel good success of ‘Ted Lasso’ brought a wide mix of veteran stars and fresh faces to a global audience, along with major paydays as the series exploded on streaming. Salaries rose across the run, and several cast members added producer credits, new series deals, and franchise roles that expanded their earnings well beyond Richmond AFC.

This countdown looks at the principal players from the show and how they have built their fortunes through series contracts, back end participation, film and television roles outside ‘Ted Lasso’, endorsements, live work, and other creative ventures. Figures vary by report, but the paths are clear enough to see who has stacked the most income since the Greyhounds took the pitch.

Billy Harris

The actor behind Colin Hughes moved from smaller British projects into a globally viewed hit, which meant bigger episodic checks and stronger quoting power for future roles. Work on ‘Ted Lasso’ brought convention appearances and brand partnerships tied to the show’s popularity, which help supplement screen income between projects.

He has continued to add credits in film and television while exploring theater opportunities at home in the United Kingdom. That combination of steady roles and appearance fees creates a reliable base as he builds toward larger leading parts.

Kola Bokinni

Playing team captain Isaac McAdoo gave him a steady multi season contract and broadened his reach with audiences worldwide. The show’s success improved residuals on international replays and boosted his value for casting in British dramas and genre projects.

Outside the series he has diversified with commercials and guest roles that fit his physical presence and athletic image. Public appearances tied to soccer events and sports brands add a useful income stream during gaps in filming.

Cristo Fernández

As Dani Rojas he became one of the breakout faces of the team, which translated into roles in American films and guest parts across television. His bilingual profile opened doors in both English and Spanish language markets, expanding his booking opportunities and earning potential.

Fernández also draws on a professional soccer background for sports campaigns and ambassador work. Voice acting and independent film projects round out a portfolio that benefits from the character’s global appeal.

James Lance

The Trent Crimm storyline gave a long working British actor a prominent platform again, which led to additional series roles and narration work. Years of experience across television and theater help sustain consistent bookings and residuals from past appearances.

He also benefits from corporate and audiobook narration that values his distinctive delivery. Festival circuits and literary events tied to the character’s arc provide paid panels and hosting gigs that add to screen income.

Toheeb Jimoh

Portraying Sam Obisanya put him in front of international casting directors and quickly led to prestige projects in film and limited series. That momentum raises his quotes and unlocks award campaign travel that often includes sponsored partnerships.

He continues to mix dramatic work with commercial campaigns aligned to sports and fashion. With each new leading role his per project fees increase, which steadily lifts overall earnings.

Phil Dunster

As Jamie Tartt he balanced comedy with athletic choreography, which set up new offers in high profile dramas and action leaning features. He has also stepped into West End and regional stage productions that provide steady pay between screen projects.

Brand collaborations with fitness and menswear labels suit the character’s image and translate into social campaigns and appearances. Voiceover and video game work complement television residuals to create a well rounded income mix.

Sarah Niles

Her turn as sports psychologist Dr. Sharon Fieldstone followed acclaimed work in British television, which keeps her in demand for limited series and serious drama. She maintains an active stage career that supplies consistent fees and award visibility.

Guest arcs and recurring roles add dependable residuals, while audiobook narration and radio drama remain strong revenue pillars in the UK market. Festival panels and educational workshops tied to mental health in sport provide paid speaking opportunities.

Jeremy Swift

Years on ‘Downton Abbey’ and a long list of British television credits give him a solid residuals base alongside his work as Leslie Higgins. Those past hits continue to pay out as they rerun internationally, offering stability when schedules shift.

He also composes and performs music, which brings in royalties and occasional performance income. Commercials and family friendly voice roles fit his profile and add reliability to his yearly earnings.

Nick Mohammed

Playing Nathan Shelley capped a run of successful stand up and television writing that includes creating and starring in ‘Intelligence’. Owning and writing shows increases backend participation and format sales, which can outpace acting fees over time.

His live character work as Mr. Swallow keeps theater tours and specials in rotation, adding ticket revenue and broadcast payments. Family film roles and animated voice parts widen his audience and generate strong residuals.

Anthony Stewart Head

A decades long career with signature turns in ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ and ‘Merlin’ gives him deep catalog residuals that continue to pay worldwide. He has also fronted major ad campaigns in the UK, which often deliver generous buyouts and renewals.

Guest roles across British television and streaming remain frequent, while audio dramas and audiobooks provide steady royalties. Convention appearances tied to genre favorites are a proven source of dependable supplementary income.

Juno Temple

Playing Keeley Jones added a mainstream streaming hit to an already busy filmography that includes ‘Atonement’, ‘The Dark Knight Rises’, and ‘Fargo’. Lead roles in premium limited series and studio films have moved her into higher fee tiers.

She continues to combine prestige television with commercial features, which balances awards visibility and box office scale. Fashion and beauty brand partnerships align with her profile and bring in endorsement income alongside screen pay.

Hannah Waddingham

Her role as Rebecca Welton arrived after years of high caliber stage work and memorable television parts in ‘Game of Thrones’ and ‘Sex Education’. Stage leads, cast albums, and touring concerts contribute meaningful earnings on top of screen salaries.

Hosting turns on major broadcasts like ‘Eurovision’ and holiday specials added live fees and boosted her demand for events. Family films, voice roles, and seasonal music releases expand royalties and keep revenue varied throughout the year.

Brendan Hunt

As Coach Beard he is more than a series regular, since he also helped create ‘Ted Lasso’ and serves as a producer and writer. Those credits typically include backend participation, which can become the largest share of income when a show hits worldwide.

He has continued to develop new projects for television and live stages, using the series’ success to secure overall deals and development fees. Podcasting and live comedy appearances round out a portfolio that earns beyond on screen work.

Brett Goldstein

Roy Kent made him an international name, but he also writes and produces for television, including co creating ‘Shrinking’. Producer and creator roles come with fees, bonuses, and participation that stack on top of acting income.

His appearance in ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ positioned him for franchise work and convention bookings that carry premium rates. Touring shows, a popular podcast, and an overall deal in scripted television further diversify revenue.

Jason Sudeikis

As the title character he negotiated one of the top salaries in streaming comedy by the later seasons of ‘Ted Lasso’. He is also a co creator and executive producer, which means meaningful backend participation and bonuses tied to performance.

Before the series he built a strong film and television resume with ‘Saturday Night Live’ and hits like ‘Horrible Bosses’, which continue to pay residuals and keep quotes high. Voice roles, commercial campaigns, and development deals add additional layers to an already robust earnings profile.
