Cristo Fernández, who portrays the happy-go-lucky Dani Rojas in Apple TV+’s “Ted Lasso,” has not one, but two favorite soccer scenes he has filmed so far.
“The first one is when Dani Rojas first enters in the show,” he told TheWrap at the Apple FYC carpet and panel discussion Monday. “It was my first day on set. It’s an epic moment for the character, epic moment for my life. Giving the best. There are cool tricks, did it all, proud of it.”
Rojas, who joins Coach Ted Lasso’s (Jason Sudeikis) AFC Richmond team halfway through Season 1 when Jamie Tartt (Phil Dunster) starts acting up, runs enthusiastically onto the pitch one training day to demonstrate his skill and qualifications for replacing Jamie in the ace position.
