‘The White Lotus’ - who do you want to see cast on season 4?

¡Froy!

(I just wanted to type that.)

"Andrew Shue is a revelation!"

Yeah Ratboy is too busy filming The Kardashians.

Hart Bochner

Jackée Harry

Simone Kessell, Pamela Rabe, Marianne Jean Baptiste, Sandra Oh, Vincent Pastore, Mickey Rourke

I'd die to hear Jackee say, "Mmm. Beliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinda!"

Parker Stevenson.

He was my gay awakening on The Hardy Boys and is still a hot daddy. He needs to reawaken my loins to complete the circle of lust.

White Lotus: Galveston

Hotel Manager & Staff: Aya Cash, Edi Patterson, Marcello Hernandez

Parker Posey (if she survives tonight) reluctantly visiting her sister Galveston local sister Juliette Lewis and her old man oil tycoon husband Don Johnson

Aaron Paul & Annie Murphy: director takes his lead to scout location and find her "character" in movie he's making about 1900 hurricane

Russell Tovey & Tramell Tillman married couple who bring along their volatile twink third Jack Dylan Grazer.

Matthew Rhys & Archie Panjabi who comes to the Island to locate their medical student daughter who hasn't been returning their calls

Eric Balfour

Tara Reid.

Brian J. Smith

Demi Moore

Billie Lourd

Mary Louise Parker (who should have pkayed Parker Posey’s role)

Patricia Clarkson

Charles Dance

Colin Salmon

Lambert Wilson

Monica Bellucci

Vicki Lawrence

Lee Greenwood, Mel Gibson, and Justine Bateman in

White Lotus: Mar-a-Lago

Ione Skye

fucking Brad Pitt

Julia Roberts

A Listers.

All of them.

Martha Plimpton

Debra Winger

Daryl Hannah

Sean Young

Alec Baldwin (could redeem his reputation)

Patrick Dempsey

Emilio Estevez

Jennifer Tilly is quite literally the only name I’ve seen mentioned who would be amazing casting. She would be phenomenal on a this show.

Cooper Koch would actually be really good on a show like this too.

James McAvoy

The Farrows: Mia, Ronan, and Dylan

Preferably if they can be put in the suite next to Woody and Soon-Yi Allen...

Maybe Brooke Shields or Vanessa Williams?

Ethel Merman

Carol Channing

Della Reese

Ann Miller

They can all be the mothers of other guests, and be there to perform a song like "What I Did for Love" with Sritala.

R28 two good casting choices

Lyndsay Lohan

Theresa Russell

Dana Delany

Actually, Sam Nivola’s father Alessandro would be great on this show

As would Sam’s mum Emily Mortimer.

Laura Dern

Fun fact, she already had a very brief “cameo” in season two as the (ex?) wife of the Italian-American patriarch

[quote] Cooper Koch would actually be really good on a show like this too.

🙄

Annette Bening and Rosie O’Donnell as former lovers and co-founders of a popular social conscious snack empire sort of like a lesbian Ben and Jerry. They’re entertaining an offer to sell the company to the big conglomerate and have come to the white lotus with their younger girlfriends (played by Greta Lee and Anok Yai) to vacation and decide what the next step is.

Laura Dern doesn’t belong on here. I’m over her being forced into everything. Same with Nicole, who is begging to be on season 4. No thanks.

Olivia Munn

Jennifer Tilley

Alessandro Nivola

Tatum O’Neal

Shemar Moore

Cooper Koch

Michele Morrone

There are a few right here who would work well on this series (depending on location).

Jason Ritter

Wouldn't mind to see any of the leads of Desperate Housewives make a comeback. Except maybe Eva Longoria - seems she never went away.

R40 actually, I agree with that. I would love to see any of the women from that show beyond this.

Be on*

Harry and Meghan.

One of the best things about all 3 series is Mike White's casting many actors I never heard of in roles they are perfect for.

I'll let White do the casting.

Lisa Kudrow

Melanie Lynskey

[quote]I would love Jennifer Tilly cast.

OP - I agree, but you do realize she does not look anything like that anymore. In fact, she'd barely fit into that frame/

Charlie Sheen, Molly Ringwald, Sean Bean, Matthew Fox

Joyce DeWitt

Honestly, Pamela Anderson

R36 = NAC

Erika Jayne.

Heather Locklear. It's time

Tina Yothers, or perhaps DL fave, Susan Dey

Jennifer Jason Leigh.

Jessica Harper.

Dennis Boutsakaris.

Actors who have fallen off the radar but still recognizable and need the work.

Armie Hammer

Kim Cattral so SJP can plotz on Perry Street

Austin Abrams

Duncan Lacroix

Lucy Liu

Christina Hendricks

Freddy Rodriguez

Gary Carr

Alexa Demie

Sandra Bernhard

Thoughts?

Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman. Michael Cimino.

Michael Carbanaro.

Joanna Lumley

I want to see Julia Louis-Dreyfus back on my TV again, being neurotic or chewing someone out at the hotel VEEP style.

And I love R9's idea of casting Annie Murphy.

Michael C Hall would be amazing

Brat Packers!

Jon Crier, Anthony Michael Hall, Molly Ringwald, James Spader, Andrew McCarthey, Alan Ruck, Mia Sara

JOHN fucking EARLY, PLEASE!

Toni Collette

Meryl and Jessica as a lesbian couple whose sons Jonathan Groff and Penn Badgley are a mess.

Bill Nighy

Betty Gilpin

January Jones probably needs a job.

Amy Sedaris

Damn, R73. Good call.

Alexander Skarsgård, Jeremy Strong, Kieran Culkin, Matthew MacFadyen, Arian Moayed, Rob Yang, Holly Hunter, Brian Cox, Cherry Jones, Sarah Snook, Fisher Stevens, Eric Bogosian, Nicholas Braun, Alan Ruck, J. Smith-Cameron, Justine Lupe, David Rasche, Peter Friedman, Hiam Abbass, Hariet Walter...

See where I'm going with this?

It's funny so many of you are listing once-famous senior citizens since White so rarely has them on this show.

He's not interested in bringing back once-famous elderly stars, like Ryan Murphy is: he's more interested in finding known actors (middle-aged or younger, with a few exceptions) who continue to have decent working careers but who are not hugely famous, and then giving them a chance to shine.

Cherry Jones - yes!

Joan Collins

Pamela Bellwood

Pamela Sue Martin

Karen Celliini

Kathleen Beller

Lea Michele, Chris Colfer, Matthew Morrison, Jane Lynch

Liza Minnelli as the batty old hotel matriarch.

Jeff Goldblum as a sleazebag on the make, but also a retired orthodontist from Syosset taking his bratty family on vacation.

Sarah Michelle Gellar as a divorcee on a girls renewal trip with her alcoholic sister, Denise Richards.

[quote]He's not interested in bringing back once-famous elderly stars

Yes we'd be veering eerily into Fantasy Island territory with the silver dream cast you bitches are demanding

Dana Delany and Mike White must reunite.

Eva Marie Saint

Dick van Dyke

'Tippi' Hedren

Mel Brooks

June Lockhart

Rosemary Harris

Whoopi as the sage widowed hotel owner. In each episode, she can share a few pearls of bewildering wisdom, as she does on 'The View'.

Jenilee Harrison

Phylicia Rashad as a retired lawyer who is struggling with the fact that her husband has been accused of multiple rapes and the realization that she was a horrible mother.

Lisa Wechel is a devout christian attending a private school reunion that awakens her long repressed feelings for a schoolmate (played by Nancy McKeon).

Janet Hubert as a wife and mother who has discovered that another woman has taken her place.

Tiffani Thiessen and Nick Offerman - She is a former model/actress and he’s her agent/ husband, They’ve come to rekindle their marriage.

The actors should probably not only look like successful people with a lot of money, but fit the stereotypes the audience has about wealthy people.

Alan Tudyk

Rashida Jones

Alessandro Nivola

Chloe Sevigny

Laurie Metcalf, Catherine O'Hara, Madeline Stowe, Gary Busey, Wes Bentley, Josh Hartnett, James Marsden

As I said in another thread, an AbFab reunion would be good if it fit with the tone of the show. They could play original characters instead of just reprising the old ones.

Alison Arngrim

Mindy Cohn

Eve Plumb

Jennifer Tilly, Dakota Fanning, Don Johnson, Bobby Cannavale, Gwyneth Paltrow, Hugh Grant, and Judy Davis.

R89 Chloe can keep her talentless ass on Ryan Murphy shows. She can’t act for shit.

R76 his casts aren’t as young as you claim bud. Look up the ages of most of who he casts.

He usually has mixed groups. Most of them aren’t past their 50s but they aren’t all 20 either like you’re making it sound.

Academy Award winner F. Murray Abraham isn’t elder?

The only season that DIDNt have a senior character was season one. Season three had two.

R97 who was the senior character on season 3?

Rose Byrne

Sharon Stone

GLENN!

Rosie Perez!

Jon Hamm

Cast me cocksuckers!

Jennifer Aniston. The role she would have been best suitable for is the repressed lesbian hotel manager.

Tina Yothers, Lara Jill Miller, Rob Stone, Tiffany Brisette, Danny Ponce, Jeremy Miller

The guests seem to consist of parents in their late-40s to early-60s and their college age adult kids/employees.

[QUOTE] Mary Louise Parker (who should have pkayed Parker Posey’s role)

Are you the same person who keeps posting this in every single White Lotus thread?

Listen, I absolutely love Mary-Louise Parker (you missed the hyphen in her name so a huge OH, DEAR for that, by the way), but Parker Posey went viral with her performance and was wonderful in the role as Victoria.

Seriously, let it go. Let Parker have her flowers.

David Hyde Pierce.

R93 Bobby would've been a great Rick.

What about Glenn and Meryl for that collapsing lesbian couple storyline?

r37 I find Greta Lee annoying AF on The Morning Show

How about Wendi McLendon-Covey? She can do anything. I've loved her since Reno 911!

Glenn Close

MISS Helen Lawson, of course.

I’d watch r9’s.

Bette Midler or Patti Lupone

He should cast two straight, Gen X heartthrobs as a long married gay couple, maybe they've been open for years but one of them wants to get back into monogamy. And make them do gay stuff together. For instance:

Josh Hartnett and Justin Long

Topher Grace and John Cho

Mekhi Phifer and Donald Faison

Justin Long and Topher Grace! Not doing a gay for pay role, but in some other kind of story line. Maybe throw in Ralph Macchio too.

I would like to see Raviv (Ricky) Ullman. I haven’t seen him since his nudes leaked.

Kevin Bacon, preferably with an older or younger gay husband. He deserves a good role and still looks hot for this.

Jinkx Monsoon

Charlotte Rampling, Michael Gandolfini, Jessica Hecht, BD Wong, Lucy Fry

Wow, I love the Charlotte Rampling suggestion.

Charlotte Rampling was really good in the movie 45 Years, she would be great on this show

Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russle

BrendaD Ickson

Either one of the Sprouse twins.

I'd be curious to hear who from a previous season you would want back and in what kind of situation? I'd want to see Meghan Fahy back. I think about her performance more than I should. "I voted... Didn't I."

Tandie Newton

R124 Is reading her weekly edition of Woman’s World.

Judith Light

Carla Gugino

Leslie Grossman

Chris Messina

Max Greenfield

Dominic West

Tom Pelphrey should be a star of this level by now. Plus it could lead to a guest spot for Kaley the same way the Sam & Leslie thing worked out.

The problem with seniors like Rampling is that you know their subplot would be a suicide pact.

anyone who Ryan Murphy couldn't get to sleep with him

R98 Sritala and her husband

r128 that skinny little bitch

Lady Bunny, wow that would be awesome

Lisa Kudrow is a good choice. She can do kooky, funny and dark equally well.

Vera Farmiga

Phoebe Dynevor

R133 that means Nicholas A. Chavez is out of the question…

Veronica Cartwright

Good call for Vera Farmiga r138.

Though the obvious issue with DL’s choices is that the main cast of guests are teens/20-somethings and their parents in their 50s.

And most of our choices are 60+.

The White Lotus corporation purchases the Solana resort in Benidorm.

R142 what show did you watch?

Elizabeth Perkins

Lindsey lohan

I love the Carla Gugino suggestion upthread.

She should have been nominated for an Oscar for Gerald’s Game.

Speaking of Italian, how about Gina Carano? A lot of guys and lesbians would tune in to see her.

George Takei and William Shatner play an eldergay couple who are having issues when they meet a young college student from North Carolina named Lochlan played by Sam Nivola who is interning for the White Lotus corp.

Meghan Markle

^^ Mehgan thee Sussex

I agree with Jennifer Tilly. I get the impression she wouldn't need to act too hard either, considering her recent comments on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills about calling and asking someone how much she spent on a handbag, buying a unique bracelet that must have been worth a small country and how she gets royalty money from The Simpsons every year.

She seemed nice enough, but if I was that wealthy there's no way I'd casually talk about large purchases like that on TV. But it's definitely something a White Lotus character wouldn't think twice about doing!

I would like to see Ellie Kemper on The White Lotus. Kemper comes from a wealthy banking family, but most of her acting roles are always poor people and orphans. I would love to see her in some of dark comedy role as a rich woman.

Heather Locklear beloved fallen star to resurrect her career

Arnie Hammer just a fallen movie star

Matthew Bomer

Armie Hammer will not be allowed anywhere near this show. He is an untouchable now.

Walton Goggins needs to be cast as the ghost of White Lotus Past, giving advice and snarls to the next guests

Regina King

Billy Magnussoen

Billy Mumy. Seriously, Billy Mumy and The Robot.!HOW ABOUT THIS? Set it in the future WHITE LOTUS 3OOO. set it on Mars or a space station resort.

Yes white lotus in space featuring Chewbacca, the ALIEN, Lieutenant Uhura, HAL as the manager, ALF, the Jetson family and Jennifer Coolidge as Tanya the Hutt.

Chloe is a slightly more seasoned version of Amy Lou Wood. Unique and chic!

Who is Chloe?

Chloe Sevigny as a mysterious solo traveler.

Kiernan Shipka as a wayward 20-something finding herself with an out-of-touch best friend played by Lily Rose Depp.

Debra Messing and Patricia Heaton as over-the-hill divorcees on a girls trip.

Bette Midler as the resort's brassy owner...and her henpecked husband, Martin Short, who harbors a very dirty secret.

Thank god none of you are casting agents or screenwriters. JFC.

Marie Osmond as a wealthy Mormon widow, with a gay son played by Adam Archuleta.

R160 “Tanya the Hutt@ R160, you’re funny.

Billy Bob Thornton.

Jesse Watters, in his first television nude scene with 2 teenagers, both male of course.

Chloe Sevigny can’t act. I’m sick of her being shoved on us by Ryan Murphy yet alone Mike White. Leave her with Murphy

There is a rumor the next season may be in Morocco

Lorna Luft. I'd really love to see her play an eccentric, wealthy character. And not with a backstory that includes singing or anything like that. Just a straightforward, dramatic part. I think she'd be very good. Plus she's not A-list, yet brings a pedigree that would add an interesting dimension to the show. I think she'd fit into an ensemble cast.

Adam Scott

Has Hannah Waddingham been mentioned?

I can only see a former character realistically coming back if they had a good time while they stayed at a White Lotus resort before, so that would let out 99% of all the previous cast members. Everyone always has a terrible time there.

Lindsay Lohan as a washed-up former-famous glamour-girl.

Kate Jackson

Tyne Daly

Jane Curtin

Lens

Someone very very campy

Joan Crawford and Bette Davis

Nancy Pelosi

Queen Camilla

The next pope

Joyce DeWitt

Don Rickles

Luke Evans

Simon van Kempen as the manager and the entire Season 1 Cast of RHONY as the guests.
