In Season 3, Episode 5 of The White Lotus, Sam Rockwell made a surprising cameo as Frank, thanks to a last-minute offer from creator Mike White. His partner, Leslie Bibb, shared her initial concerns about the timing, particularly since Rockwell was filming in South Africa at the time. After some negotiation and on-set preparation, Rockwell embraced the role, which included an impactful monologue reflecting the season's themes. Bibb emphasized the importance of his character's moment while expressing pride in his performance.
"I said to them when they offered it to him, I was like, 'If he doesn't do it, don't get mad at me.'"
"He was not sure about it, about doing it, just because he didn't have proper prep time, so we went on safari in South Africa and I was like, 'I'll get you off book, I'll get you off book.'"
