Spoilers ahead for the fifth episode of “The White Lotus” Season 3.Sam Rockwell has checked in.The Oscar winner, 56, joined “The White Lotus” Season 3 in the fifth episode as a surprise guest star.
In the story, Rockwell’s character is a friend of Rick’s (Walton Goggins). When Rick meets him in Bangkok, Thailand, as part of his complicated quest involving his dead father, Rockwell’s character launches into a bizarre monologue about his sex life.
He describes how he moved to Thailand and used to spend a “thousand” nights having sex with random women, before he decided, “Maybe what I really want is to be one of these Asian girls.” “So I put out an ad… found a guy who looked a lot like me,” Rockwell’s character says.
He continues, “I put on some lingerie and perfume, I made myself look like one of those girls. I thought I looked pretty hot.” Rockwell’s character describes how some nights, three to four men would come “rail the sh-t” out of him, and, “at the same time, I’d hire an Asian girl to just sit there and watch the whole thing….I’d look into her eyes while some guy was f–-king me and I’d think, I am her, and I’m f–-king me.” As Rick looks bewildered and unsure how to respond except to say, “uh-huh…right…” Rockwell’s character talks about how this experience pushed him into finding Buddhism, and how it made him want to get off “the never-ending carousel of lust and suffering.” Rockwell’s presence in the show isn’t just to have an Oscar-winning actor deliver an absurd and explicit monologue.
