What 20 Actors Look Like in Real Life

“The White Lotus” has become an internet obsession. If you have yet to see it, it’s a comedy-drama about a group of spoiled visitors and a worn-out staff at a posh hotel in Hawaii.

Written and directed by Mike White of the critically praised HBO series “Enlightened,” the hit show is full of dark comedy and hilariously cringe-worthy figures, instantly making it renowned with audiences and critics.

If you are curious about the artists who participated in Mike White’s Emmy-winning social satire, we have you covered. This overview will include all you need to discover about “The White Lotus” cast beyond the tropical retreat.
