Who Plays Quentin and Jack in The White Lotus Season 2?
Quentin — Tom Hollander
British, BAFTA-winning actor Tom Hollander portrays Quentin in The White Lotus.
Quentin is a wealthy, gay, English expat living in Sicily, who has ventured to The White Lotus resort with a group of friends for a small break. There, he befriends Tanya and her assistant Portia (Haley Lu Richardson), turning their holiday around.
Audiences will most likely recognize Hollander for his role as Lord Cutler Beckett in Pirates of the Caribbean, Dr. George in Taboo, and for his BAFTA-winning performance as Corky in The Night Manager.
His other well-known credits include Harry in About Time, Jim Beach in Bohemian Rhapsody, Mr. Collins in Pride & Prejudice, Gary in Bird Box, and George V/Wilhelm II/Nicholas II in The King's Man.
Hollander is also known for his stage career, receiving Oliver and Tony award nominations for his role in Tom Stoppard's play Travesties.
Jack — Leo Woodall
Leo Woodall portrays Jack in The White Lotus season 2, Quentin's alleged nephew.
Jack is a cheeky chap from Essex who is infatuated with Tanya's assistant, Portia.
However, at the end of Episode 5, in a jaw-dropping twist, it is revealed Jack is involved in a sexual relationship with Quentin, who is believed to be his uncle.
Speaking to ET Online about the jaw-dropping sex scene which Tanya accidentally stumbled in on, Woodall said of the twist: "I couldn't believe it. I haven't told a single soul. So, to see the look on their face 'cause it's such a shock anyway in the story."
Are Leo and Quentin really who they are? Are they grifters looking to take advantage of Tanya's wealth? All will be revealed in the final two episodes, Woodall said.
The White Lotus is Woodall's biggest acting role to date. His previous film credits include Apple TV+'s military movie Cherry, where he starred opposite Tom Holland, and as Ben in NOMAD.
Audiences may also recognize Woodall from his role as Adrian Ivashkov in Vampire Academy.
Woodall will next be seen in Netflix's series adaption of David Nicholls's best-selling novel One Day, starring alongside This Is Going to Hurt's Ambika Mod.
To prepare for the role of Jack in The White Lotus, Woodall told GQ that he watched British reality star Joey Essex in The Only Way is Essex.
He joked: "[While filming] they all had no idea what I was saying half the time. All the Americans in the cast, Mike [White, the showrunner], the Italians. No one really knew what I was saying.'
The White Lotus season 2 airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on HBO and HBO Max.
