Leslie Bibb reveals how Sam Rockwell’s The White Lotus cameo happened

During an interview, the actress from Jupiter’s Legacy revealed the circumstances that led her husband, Sam Rockwell, to make a guest appearance in The White Lotus.

Rockwell made a surprise appearance in Season 3, Episode 5, titled “Full-Moon Party,” as Walton Goggins’ character Rick’s friend, Frank. The Iron Man 2 actor showed up unexpectedly, and his monologue became one of the most memorable parts of the episode.

When asked whether she helped Rockwell get the cameo, Leslie Bibb told Entertainment Weekly, “No, they came to me and they were like, ‘We’re going to offer this to Sam.’ I was on the treadmill and Dave Bernad came to me.” She also shared that she was unsure whether Rockwell would agree to do the cameo.

Bibb added, “That was a big arc to do that quickly. And (Sam Rockwell) literally went from one (project) to the next, so I said, ‘You can’t get mad at me if he says no. What if he says no?’ I was so scared! Then Mike (creator of The White Lotus) was like, ‘No, no, no, we won’t get mad at you.”

In simpler terms, Leslie Bibb stated that it was quite enjoyable having her co-star Sam Rockwell on the set of The White Lotus. She also commended his acting skills as Frank, saying he was exceptional and perfectly embodied the role. Additionally, she mentioned that everyone on set was pleased to have him there.
