British actress Hannah Waddingham has recalled losing out on acting roles because male co-stars had already been cast who were considerably shorter than her, years before her height became part of Rebecca Welton's imposing presence in Ted Lasso.
The 5ft 11in Emmy Award-winning actress said the problem occurred repeatedly during the first 15 years of her career, with casting teams telling her they liked her work but had already chosen a male lead who was around 5ft 8in.
