The Ted Lasso Star You Might Have Missed In Sandman Season 1

That's Sarah Niles from "Ted Lasso" you saw in that scene from "The Sandman" where John Dee (David Thewlis) escapes and first steps into a world he's been separated from for years. He comes to an emergency stop after being hit by a car, and the driver, Rosemary (Niles), quickly apologizes and offers him a ride. She then realizes she should've kept on going – or even rolled over him when she had the chance.

While she may appear as a soft and sweet soul that gets mixed up with the wrong hitchhiker, Niles plays a far more stern figure on "Ted Lasso." As Dr. Sharon Fieldstone, Niles debuted in the 2nd season of Apple TV+'s flagship show as the therapist hoping to help out the Greyhounds and causing some friction with our favorite mustached manager played by Jason Sudeikis. It's a big contrast from her performance on "The Sandman." Of course, when the biggest threat on "Ted Lasso" is gravel-gargling ex-player Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein), Dr. Fieldstone clearly should be able to handle anything.

Her turn on the feel-good foo ... ahem, soccer sitcom gained some attention during awards season, too, when she earned an Emmy nomination for her performance. Thankfully, the impressive turn was also recognized by the show's creator when Bill Lawrence confirmed to Deadline that Dr. Fieldstone, along with James Lance's Trent Crimm (formerly of The Independent), would also be back for the 3rd and final season of the show. The former "Scrubs" showrunner assured fans that both will be playing key roles in the coming season. 

Of course, with a 2nd season of "The Sandman" trickling into development, and Neil Gaiman wanting the show to last a little longer, we might see Rosemary return, too. Well, we can dream, can't we?
