"The White Lotus" is back to add some chaos to the TV schedule, and there’s already an early favorite casting choice to talk about: Parker Posey! Since Season 3 of The White Lotus premiered over the weekend, I haven’t stopped thinking about her being a hilarious addition as the wife of a wealthy financier, who is secretly getting in big trouble amidst their Thailand family vacation. After talking to the cast, I’m not the only one who thinks she’s going to be a standout this season.
00:00I mean, for me, I think Parker was really funny to watch live on the day.
00:06But then, of course, I had a lot of scenes with Amy Lou.
00:10And I think that she's brilliant and so funny and hilarious.
00:13And their dynamic is so off and odd and distraught.
00:18But she's great.
00:20Yeah, I was so excited to meet her.
00:21And I think more than being able to meet her, to watch her work was something that I was so nervous of the meeting part.
00:29I didn't even realize I'd have that opportunity, you know, in reality.
00:34And she's a force.
00:35You know, she's such a student and a master of the craft.
00:39And to see her transform into Victoria, I think audiences are going to be really taken with her.
00:47Victoria has, like, the craziest.
00:51Yeah, the crazy vibe and, like, the craziest, like, lines.
00:54Like, she says the craziest stuff.
00:56And I just, I can just, like, she's going to be everywhere.
00:58Like, the memes that are going to be made used, like, with whatever she says.
01:03Yeah.
01:03Like, it's going to go, like, just above and beyond.
01:08I don't know.
01:08I feel like Victoria.
01:09But also, I don't know.
01:10Who do you think?
01:11I mean, like, Chelsea as well.
01:13I think Victoria.
01:14I think you're right.
01:14I mean, well, I mean, Lalisa, obviously, is already so huge that it's kind of impossible to rival that.
01:24But, yeah, I think Victoria, I mean, her voice is, even just, like, hearing her talk.
01:29Like, her being in character on set was just the funniest thing in the world.
01:33I also, like, just, I haven't, we haven't really, like, said this in any interview yet.
01:38But, like, I think it was really smart of Mike to pluck Parker because it kind of felt like, who's, like, another, like, 90s star that people love?
01:47Yeah.
01:48Because now that Jennifer's gone, like, because I feel like they were kind of from the same time, like, as far as, like, with their careers go.
01:55So I thought that was, like, kind of clever, like, and brilliant of him to bring along Parker Posey.
01:59Yeah, you're right.
02:00I hadn't thought about that either.
02:01Yeah, yeah, they kind of feel like they fit in the same universe, you know.
