As it is, “Ted Lasso” is one of only three credits Rosie Lou currently has listed on her IMDb page. The role of Ms. Kakes is undoubtedly the biggest role among them, with Lou logging five final season episodes on the celebrated comedy. And with any luck, it’ll serve as a major career boost for the talented young actor.
Lou’s prior screen credits likely helped land her on the radar of the presumably British “Ted Lasso” casting team, as the London native appeared in a pair of English comedies before booking her gig on the streaming hit. She earned her first screen credit in 2022, turning up in a single episode of the critically adored Max Original comedy, “Starstruck.” Lou’s lone appearance came in Season 2 and found her portraying Danielle, a posh young British actor who — to the chagrin of Matafeo’s Jessie — cannot stop from pawing at movie star Tom Kapoor (Nikes Patel).
It’s a brief moment, but Lou lays the woman’s nauseatingly entitled persona on thick enough to ensure Danielle would not soon be forgotten. She did the same with a similarly spare appearance in Sky Max’s “Funny Woman.” That ’60s set, Gemma Arterton-fronted drama is, sadly, not available to stream, rent, or buy in the United States. But if you find yourself somewhere it’s playing, you can see Rosie Lou donning period gear in its fifth episode.
