Summary
- Hannah Waddingham stars as Rebecca Welton in Ted Lasso.
- She also played the villainous Septa Unella in Game of Thrones.
- Waddingham's character in Ted Lasso transforms from vengeful to passionate.
Hannah Waddingham, known for her role as Rebecca Welton in the hit Apple TV series "Ted Lasso," has garnered significant audience appreciation. The show, which began airing in 2020, features Waddingham's character evolving from someone seeking revenge against her ex-husband to a dedicated leader who genuinely loves her work.
This positive portrayal of Welton is a striking departure from Waddingham's earlier role as Septa Unella in HBO's "Game of Thrones" Seasons 5 and 6. In "Game of Thrones," Unella was a cruel antagonist, famously tormenting Cersei Lannister with the word "Shame."
Waddingham's intense performance as Unella placed her under an international spotlight, though her character's fate was notably grim within the "Game of Thrones" narrative. Her journey from a memorable villain to a heartwarming television protagonist highlights her considerable acting talent.
