Character

Leslie Higgins

Leslie Higgins in Ted Lasso (2020), played by Jeremy Swift.

Leslie Higgins runs communications for AFC Richmond, which mostly means smoothing over disasters and managing reporters who smell blood. He's polite to a fault, a little anxious, and clearly used to being overlooked in the room. Married with kids, quietly decent, he does his job and tries not to make waves.

Jeremy Swift plays him as endearingly unglamorous — the guy who apologizes before he's even done anything wrong. The writing uses him as a barometer for the club's chaos, but Swift finds real warmth underneath the nervousness, so every small moment of backbone he's given lands far bigger than it should.
