2. What were your auditions like for The White Lotus Season 2?
Aubrey:
I actually didn’t have to audition. I somehow skipped that part, because I knew (Mike White, the show’s creator). Mike and I were friends before this. So he kind of knew enough about me that he just kind of scooted me right in there. So yeah, I was fortunate to not have to do that. But I would have done it, if they asked me.
Will:
I got asked to tape for it. In the first round, I just kind of did it as well as I could, but didn’t really think anything of it. So it was shot in the dark. And I was surprised to get to do it again, more thoroughly. Finally, I read through it with Mike and the producers. And then even when they offered it to me, I still sort of felt like they made some sort of mistake (laughs).
3. So, your characters appear to be caught in some kind of financial or economic narrative that, to me, felt like a bigger wink at society as a whole. Can you explain the dynamic of your relationship this season?
