TV Series Ted Lasso: interview with actor Stephen Manas

It changed the world; I don’t know how TV and Films wouldn’t be impacted. I think it is going to be like every other industry, it will be very tough for small productions and newcomers. For big ones as Hollywood, AppleTV+, Netflix and all, I am sure they are smart enough to find a way to have a little pause but still be productive and most importantly creative.

During the lock down, I relaxed, luckily for me, my last project was on February 20th - just before the French lockdown. The other projects were cancelled or postponed but my job was done. I turned off my computer and phone for a while and it was good to rest a little. When you are acting you are on 24/7 with auditions, self-tapes, phone calls, and so on. Yes it is not the toughest job in the world but still it was enjoyable to rest for a while, to play music, to spend time with my family, playing sports, practicing English with all my new friends from “Ted Lasso.” I had the chance to find a way to make it as positive as possible.
