Walton Goggins opens up about landing a role in The White Lotus season 3.
The Fallout star shared his conversation with his agent during an interview with Los Angeles Times.
He shared, “They said, ‘Before we do anything, we have to tell you something. You just got an offer for The White Lotus, and it’s a very good role.’ I said, ‘Could you say that again?’ They said, ‘Mike wants you.’”
Walton continued, “I said, ‘Could you excuse me a minute?’ I walked outside and I start bawling. Crying uncontrollably. I called my wife (Nadia Conners), shaking, and she said, ‘I fucking knew it!’ When we were watching it one time, she had said, ‘Why don’t you do The White Lotus? You’d be perfect for it.’”
During the same conversation, Walton also revealed his early career struggles.
The star noted, “I was talking to my agent and asked him, ‘Why is it so hard?’. And he said, ‘It isn’t hard, Walton. You’re exactly where you’re supposed to be. There is no one job, no silver bullet for your career.”
The White Lotus season 3 is expected to air in 2025.
