This message contains spoilers For “The White Lotus” season 3.
Can someone give Walton Goggin a price for having acted almost entirely with their eyes? He did it in the episode last week of “The White Lotus”, when his Hit-Hitman depressed Rick seated through an incredibly unexpected monologue of an old boyfriend played by Sam Rockwell. This week, he is back while the season comes at the end of the game – which will undoubtedly have something to do with the man known as Jim Hollinger. Hollinger entered a shot at the end of episode 5, and the hour ends with an almost impeccably agitated Look of Goggins.
The big torsion here can be easily deducted, but we will have to wait until next week that the show confirms or denies it. Rick had previously said he knew The owner of the hotel (Patravadi Mejudhon) killed his father When he was on what seemed to be a humanitarian trip to Thailand, but the man we hear about at the end of episode 5 has a pretty A distinct American accent that corresponds to clean goggins. This would explain the gaze “oh s ** t” on Rick’s face when he sees the man he is there to visit under false pretexts; It may not be the guy who killed his father-maybe that East His father.
While we theorize, it is worth unpacking the cast of Jim Hollinger, because the character will probably play in the last episodes of the season. Based on his voice and his vague setting, I was reasonably confident that he would be revealed as Billy Bob Thornton (this season has “Fargo” vibrations, after all), but the end of the episode has proven me.
Here is where you have already seen Scott Glenn
The voice actually belonged to none other than the actor of character Scott Glenn, making a return (hopefully) triumphant to the network which gave him one of his greatest roles. Glenn played the stubborn and erratic family patriarch Kevin Garvey Sr. on HBO Magnificent existential drama “The Leftovers” From 2014 to 2017. His other recent television roles include a heartbreaking part on The short-term emission of Stephen King-Version “Castle Rock”, “ A tour on the new Apple TV + dark “Bad Monkey” comedy and the game game, a mentor figure for Matt Murdock on the Netflix version of “Daredevil” by Marvel.
Return further and you can find Glenn in some of the best films of the 20th century, from “Apocalypse Now” to “Nashville”. He played himself in Robert Altman’s “The Player”, presented himself in the action blockbuster “The Bourne Ultimatum”, and was a priest in “The Virgin Suicides” and a cop became a drug trafficker in the “training day” of the favorite of Denzel Washington. He also played several characters in the deeply polarizing Zack Snyder project “Sucker Punch”. Glenn often plays figures of authority, although they almost always have an advantage. In “Apocalypse Now”, he was the captain who sparked Willard’s mission when he defected in Colonel Kurtz’s army. He also played the boss of the FBI Jack Crawford in the winner of an Oscar from 1991 “Le Silence des Lambes”.
Glenn started working on television in the 1960s (his first role was on “The Patty Duke Show”), but for several decades from the 1970s, he did not act on the small screen at all. In fact, before “The Leftovers”, his only television series role visible since 1975 was in a two -part episode of “Monk” in 2008. We are fortunate to see him again; His turns on “Castle Rock” and “The Leftovers” were superb, and he will undoubtedly blow the roof of the place in “The White Lotus”. Frankly, Glenn is one of the best players of his generation who has not yet obtained the Emmy he deserves. “Each centimeter of his face is memorable and photographers,” said director Mimi Leder Tell Indiewire in 2017. “The folds on his cheeks and his eyes – everything he does is very real and very visceral. Working with him is one of the great experiences.”
In other words, it will be a amazing Scene partner for Goggins when the pair is finally face to face on “The White Lotus”. New episodes of the first Sunday program at 9 p.m. HE on HBO.
