One of the students, David, played by Andrew Dismukes, called his acting “a little distracting. ” Hernández’s character recalled his resumé to show he was qualified, name-dropping TV shows including The White Lotus. “And who’s the expert here?

You, with zero acting credits or me with three?” Hernández’s character fired back. “Number 1, Wipeout. Busted my face on a big red ball,” he said. “Number 2, What Would You Do?

with John Quiñónes. Did not help and was racist.” He continued, “Number 3, White Lotus. Auditioned for the incest scene with my biological brother, and I didn’t hate it.” David asks the teacher, “So you didn’t get the part and you made out with your brother?” Of course, SNL referred to one of the buzziest storylines of The White Lotus, where the Ratliff Brothers, played by Patrick Schwarzenegger and Sam Nivola, have a threesome on the show.
