Will he test in?
HBO’s Emmy-winning hit “The White Lotus” has grow to be a “who’s who” of scene-stealing actors. Season 1 had Connie Britton, Sydney Sweeney and Jennifer Coolidge. Season 2 boasted Theo James, Michael Imperioli and Aubrey Plaza, and Season 3 (airing Sundays at 9 p.m. on HBO and Max) has Jason Isaacs, Parker Posey, Carrie Coon and Patrick Schwarzenegger.
The present has already been renewed for Season 4, and James Marsden looks like a pure match.
Throughout a current interview when Marsden was selling his Hulu present, “Paradise,” The Publish requested if he’d do “The White Lotus.”
“That would be fun,” he stated.
“David Bernad is the producer. I worked with him and [‘The White Lotus’ creator] Mike White on a movie called ‘The D Train,’ ” Marsden shared, referring to the 2015 comedy he co-starred in with Jack Black.
“And so, I’ve known Mike and David for a while,” the “Westworld” star defined.
“They’re friends, so I never want to be like, ‘Hey, can I put myself on tape?’ Mike’s got his own way of doing things,” he added. “But yeah, I would love that. I would love to be [in ‘The White Lotus’].”
Every season of White’s darkish dramedy/thriller sequence follows a bunch of various rich, depressing individuals on trip on the fictional White Lotus luxurious resort. Every season begins with a dying earlier than slowly revealing the occasions main as much as the incident.
The seasons are largely standalone, with new casts and new branches of the resort – Season 1 was Hawaii, Season 2 was Sicily, and Season 3 is Thailand.
Speaking to The Publish earlier than Season 3 premiered, Bernad stated that it’s grow to be just like the Olympics, with international locations vying to host the subsequent season.
“There’s an element of that – of people soliciting us – which is incredibly flattering and unexpected.”
Lots of the sad elites on trip within the present are unintentionally humorous, or they’re jerks. Marsden might play both kind – he’s performed comedic roles in “30 Rock” and “Enchanted,” and he performed jerks in “Jury Duty” and the 2008 comedy “Sex Drive.”
“I just think it’s lightning in a bottle with that show,” Marsden instructed The Publish.
“Something so specific and beautifully shot with [White’s] sort of wry, sometimes weird dark sense of humor. It’s really my style. Absolutely, that’d be fun [to be in it].”
