In a twist no one saw coming, The White Lotus fans are buzzing over an unexpected cameo by Oscar-winner Sam Rockwell! The actress Leslie Bibb’s real-life partner made quite the impression in Season 3, and it’s safe to say his appearance left viewers flabbergasted.
Rockwell debuted as Frank in episode 5, and boy, did he deliver! The plot took a thrilling turn when Walton Goggins’ character, Rick, jetted off to Bangkok from the lavish White Lotus beach resort, aiming to confront the owner he believes is tied to his father’s mysterious death.
In a gripping hotel lobby rendezvous, Frank and Rick caught up over drinks. But don’t be fooled — Frank opted for chamomile tea and unveiled a shocking truth: he’s been 10 months sober after a wild past with partying and newfound faith.

But it was when Frank slid Rick a black bag — later unveiled to hold a gun — that things spiraled into the absurd. As the monologue unfolded, it became painfully clear: Frank's wild days of booze and love-making are behind him.
“I was out of control. I became insatiable. And, you know, after about a thousand nights like that, you start to lose it,” he shared with Rick, his words echoing the depths of despair. “Where am I going with this? Why do I feel the need to f--- all these women? What is desire? The form of this cute Asian girl, why does it have such a grip on me?”
The moment was so jaw-dropping that Walton’s reaction became a viral meme! “Maybe what I really want is to be one of these Asian girls,” Frank revealed, with Rick stunned into silence.

Things got surreal as Frank opened up about his s----- escapades, saying he even dressed as an Asian woman to truly experience life through her eyes. “Then I got addicted to that,” he explained, a reflection of his tortured soul.
Frank eventually turned his back on that chaotic life and embraced Buddhism, trading his chaotic lifestyle for detachment lessons and spiritual growth.
As their night ended, the two friends exchanged lighter moments about future favors, teasing the potential for some wild role play. By the next episode’s preview, fans can expect to see Frank and Rick again — hinting at a continuing storyline for Rockwell.
