White has famously featured former Survivor players from his first appearance on the reality show (season 37) in every installment of the beloved HBO drama. Alec Merlino joined season one not for a cameo, but in the recurring role of Hutch, a waiter and bartender at the hotel. Angelina Keeley (who White also competed against on Survivor 50) and Kara Kay popped up in season two, while Natalie Cole and Carl Boudreaux appeared in season three.
Both Davis and Karthigesu join an already star-studded slate that White has assembled for The White Lotus season four. They’ll be joined by the likes of Laura Dern, Kumail Nanjiani, Rosie Perez, Steve Coogan, Sandra Bernhard, Laura Smet and many more.
