The Cast of ‘The White Lotus’ Season 3 And Where We Know Them From

The White Lotus Season 3 cast is star-studded just like previous seasons, but where have we seen them before?

Another set of guests and staff are set to wreak havoc at a brand new White Lotus location in the third season of the critically acclaimed show. The White Lotus Season 3, which is set to start production right here in Thailand this coming February, has a pretty stacked cast which also includes some Thai talent. If you’re wondering where you’ve seen them before or where you can watch them before you see them kill/be killed/get up to chaotic hijinks in Season 3, here’s a handy list.

Where you’ve seen The White Lotus Season 3 cast before

Jason Isaacs

The sixty-year-old English actor has been in several films and shows you probably already know. In the 2000s, he had roles in The Patriot and Black Hawk Down. He played the deliciously villainous and silver-haired Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter series, and on TV, he was the captain of the USS Discovery in Star Trek: Discovery. But you’ve probably also heard his voice in a lot of things and weren’t aware of it, like his portrayal of Admiral Zhao in the last season of Avatar and his work on Star Wars Rebels as the Grand Inquisitor. He recently lent his voice talents to Enver Gortash in Baldur’s Gate 3. 

Leslie Bibb

Fans of the MCU will probably recognise Bibb as Christine Everheart, the reporter who first appeared in Iron Man and later appeared in Iron Man 2 and What If…? She also played Lady Liberty in the short-lived Netflix superhero series Jupiter’s Legacy. But some might remember her as Carley, Ricky Bobby’s wife in Talladega Nights who leaves him for his best friend when he goes on a downward spiral. 

Parker Posey

Posey’s filmography goes all the way back to 1993 when she had a role in Coneheads, the film adaptation of the popular SNL sketch. She’s since starred in many indie films but has also had roles in big blockbusters like 2006’s Superman Returns. More recently, she was in Ari Aster’s film Beau is Afraid. As for TV, she played Dr. Smith in Netflix’s Lost in Space remake, which ended in 2021. Aside from The White Lotus, she’s also set to appear in Prime Video’s reboot of Mr. & Mrs. Smith. 

Michelle Monaghan

In films, Monaghan has had a recurring role in the Mission Impossible franchise as Ethan Hunt’s now ex-wife. In TV, she had a role in Netflix’s Messiah and another miniseries titled Echoes. Her other films include Maid of Honor, which also starred Patrick Dempsey, and the thriller Eagle Eye where she co-starred with Shia LaBeouf. However, those of us who are old enough may recognise her from her role as Harmony Lane in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, where she co-starred with Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer.    

Dom Hetrakul

Aside from being a businessman, Hetrakul’s acting career includes plenty of local and a handful of foreign projects. He’s been in three of the King Naresuan movies and in Bangkok Dangerous, which starred Nicolas Cage. He’s also appeared in a number of TV shows here in Thailand. 

Tayme Thapthimthong

Thapthimthong has had small roles in foreign film productions set in Thailand like Farang and Skin Trade. He’s also appeared in Mechanic: Resurrection, which starred Jason Statham, Jessica Alba, and Michelle Yeoh. 

Natasha Rothwell

Before she was Belinda in Season 1, Rothwell served as a writer on SNL before becoming a writer, supervising producer, and series regular on Insecure, a series co-created by Issa Rae. She’s set to reprise her role as the spa manager, which made her an Emmy nominee, in the upcoming third season.

Carrie Coon

Coon is another cast member of the new season with an extensive career in the industry. She’s starred in hits like Gone Girl, Widows, and the Oscar Best Picture nominee film The Post directed by Steven Spielberg. She was also the motion capture and voice actor for Proxima Midnight, one of Thanos’ children in Avengers: Infinity War. She’s also a Tony Award winner for her role in the 2012 revival of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? More recently, she portrayed Egon Spengler’s daughter Callie in Ghostbusters: Afterlife and its upcoming sequel in 2024. She’s also currently in another HBO show, The Gilded Age. 

Aimee Lou Wood

Relatively new to the industry but definitely no longer an unknown, Wood became a fan-favourite for her role as Aimee in Netflix’s Sex Education. She won a British Academy Television Award for Best Female Comedy Performance in 2021. She’s also starred in the movie The Electrical Life of Louis Wain with Benedict Cumberbatch and was a lead Living opposite Bill Nighy. Wood was also part of a production of Chekov’s Uncle Vanya, which was recorded during the pandemic. 

Walton Goggins

Goggins has an extensive filmography that showcases just how much range he has as a performer. He’s starred in Spielberg’s Lincoln, has become a regular in Tarantino’s films, and is actually an Oscar award winner thanks to The Accountant, a short he co-produced that won Best Live Action Short Film in 2001. He’s also set to appear in Prime Video’s adaptation of the critically acclaimed video game Fallout.
