SPOILER ALERT – Do not read ahead if you haven’t watched the new episode of The White Lotus!
Weeks after Ke Huy Quan made a voice cameo, another Oscar winner is making a surprise appearance on The White Lotus!
HBO released episode 5 of season 3 of the Emmy-winning series on Sunday night (March 16) and during the episode, a famous actor made an appearance as an old friend of Walton Goggins‘ character Rick.
Keep reading to find out more…As viewers recall, Rick is in Bangkok looking for the man who killed his father, who turns out to the owner of the White Lotus.
Rick meets up with an old friend who turns out to be Sam Rockwell!
Sam‘s character evidently owes Rick a favor, but he’s now sober and found religion, so he’s not interested in getting drunk with Rick.
“I also wanted to bring you what you asked for,” Sam‘s character said, as he slid a duffel bag to Rick’s feet. “Hope you don’t have to use that.”
He then went on to explain why he’s in Thailand.
“I took the partying thing as far as it could go,” Sam‘s character said.
“I moved here because I had to leave the States but I picked Thailand because I always had a thing for Asian girls and when I got here I was like a kid in a candy store. I got money, no attachments, nothing to do,” he continued. “I started partying. It got wild, I was picking up girls every night, always different ones, petite ones, chubby ones, older ones, sometimes multiple ladies a night. I was out of control, I became insatiable and after about a thousand nights like I started to lose it. I started wondering where am I going with this. Why do I feel the need to f–k all of these women. What is desire?”
He then goes on to explain to Rick that he decided to let men have sex with him so that he can feel like “one of these Asian girls.”
“We all have our Achilles heel. Why are some of us attracted to the opposite form? Sex is a poetic act, it’s a metaphor,” Sam‘s character continued. “Then I realized I gotta stop. I got into Buddism, which is all about spirit versus form, detaching from self, getting off the never-ending carousel of lust and suffering. Being sober isn’t so hard, being celibate that’s tough.”
If you were unaware, Sam‘s real-life partner Leslie Bibb also stars on season 3 of The White Lotus playing Kate.
New episodes of The White Lotus air on Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on HBO.
