Mexican actor Cristo Fernández, 35, has moved from playing professional football in fictional TV to real life after signing with an American football club.
Fernández - who plays Dani Rojas in the popular TV series Ted Lasso - has signed with USL Championship side El Paso Locomotive FC, the second-highest league in the US.
He tells the BBC that it is a "dream come true" to play professional football and that his popular Ted Lasso catchphrase "football is life" was his own invention.
