Australian actors made unexpected appearances in The White Lotus this week.
Appearing in S3E4, mostly as chilled (or bogan) Aussies holidaying in Thailand, were Rob Carlton (Boy Swallows Universe, C*A*U*G*H*T*, North Shore, Last King of the Cross, Black Snow, Paper Giants: Magazine Wars),
Liddy Clark (Tangle, Wentworth, Fire, Prisoner, A Country Practice, The Flying Doctors) and Wendy Strehlow (Hardball, Hyde & Seek, Here Come the Habibs!, A Country Practice).
Carlton described the role as a dream gig, spending 3 weeks in Phuket, working alongside Parker Posey and Jason Isaacs, with tight security meaning he only read the scenes he was in.
He landed the role after sending a self-tape to producers, insisting, “Nobody does suspicious Aussie blokes better then me!”
Seems The White Lotus team agreed.
The White Lotus is now screening on Showcase and Binge.
