Jon Gries as Greg, aka "Gary"

Surprise, surprise! This was a fun reveal from episode 1. Greg, who was probably responsible for the death of his wife Tanya, has found his way to Thailand with his girlfriend Chloe. You know him from seasons 1 and 2, but you also know him from his roles in Napoleon Dynamite, and Men in Black.

In a fun cameo, Academy Award winner Ke Huy Quan supplied the voice of Kenny, the former business partner of Timothy Ratliff's who involved him in a money laundering scheme. This cameo was a total surprise. You know him from Everything Everywhere All at Once, The Goonies, and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

Sweet, sweet Gaitok. Tayme's path to acting was a bit different than many of his costars. He was in the Royal Thai Army before becoming an actor. Fun fact, he was also a security guard in real life!

Arnas Fedaravičius as Valentin

There's something fishy about Valentin, and now we know it's that he was probably involved in a robbery. We know basically nothing about him other than the fact that he's Russian. The actor playing him, however, is Lithuanian. And aside from being a boxer, you might recongize Arnas from The Last Kingdom on Netflix, or The Wheel of Time on Amazon.

Nicholas Duvernay as Zion

It's still too early to tell what Belinda's son's role will be in the final plot, but he obviously experiences something harrowing towards the end of the season (even though we saw it first.) Nicholas is best known for his work in Bel-Air and Purple Hearts.

Dom Hetrakul as Pornchai

And the title of "hottest spa manager on Earth" goes to Pornchai, played by Thai actor Dom Hetrakul. I am really hoping things heat up between him and Belinda. It's what she deserves! You might recognize Dom from his work in Taken 2 and Bangkok Dangerous.

Christian Friedel as Fabian

I love Fabian, our slightly desperate White Lotus resort manager. Unlike the last few seasons where the hotel managers played a huge role in the plot, Fabian seems to exist mostly for cringe comedy. It's basically the opposite type of performance for what most Americans know Christian Friedel for, his role as Rudolf Höss in The Zone of Interest.
