Before his Emmy-winning role on season one of "The White Lotus," Murray Bartlett played Dr. Paul Edmonds on the Marvel and Netflix series "Iron Fist."
Bartlett starred as Armond, the manager of the White Lotus Resort in Hawaii, on HBO's hit anthology series.
"The White Lotus" breakout star Natasha Rothwell had a minor role in the DC Comics film "Wonder Woman 1984."

Sydney Sweeney, who earned an Emmy nomination for her role as Olivia Mossbacher on season one of "The White Lotus," is set to star in Sony and Marvel's "Spider-Man" upcoming spin-off film "Madame Web."
It's unclear who she'll play in "Madame Web," but fans have speculated that Sweeney will portray Julia Carpenter. In the comics, the character is the second Spider-Woman and later, the second Madame Web.
Sweeney hasn't revealed much about her involvement in "Madame Web," but told The Hollywood Reporter she "liked the personal struggles that the character goes through."
The actress also told Variety that she was reading the comics in preparation.
"Madame Web," which stars Dakota Johnson as the titular character, is set for release on February 16, 2024.
Fred Hechinger, who played Sweeney's on-screen brother Quinn on "The White Lotus," will reportedly portray a villain in Marvel and Sony's "Kraven the Hunter" film.
In February, multiple publications reported that Hechinger joined the "Spider-Man" spin-off film.
Unconfirmed sources said that the actor will portray Chameleon, the Spidey villain and half-brother of Aaron Taylor-Johnson's Sergei Kravinoff/Kraven the Hunter.
"The White Lotus" star F. Murray Abraham voiced the Egyptian god named Khonshu on Marvel's Disney+ series "Moon Knight."
On season two of "The White Lotus," Abraham plays a character named Bert Di Grasso, who travels to Italy with his son and grandson to get in touch with their family's roots and connect with their relatives.
"The White Lotus" season two actress Aubrey Plaza (Harper), will star in Marvel's upcoming "WandaVision" spin-off series "Agatha: Coven of Chaos."
Details about Plaza's role on the show, which stars Kathryn Hahn as the witch named Agatha, have been kept under wraps but she's rumored to be playing a villain.
In an interview with Backstage, Plaza said that she plays a "fun character" on the upcoming Disney+ series.
She also raved about working with Hahn, saying, "To be able to get on screen with her and go toe-to-toe with her is what's driving me. I think it's cool that it's Marvel and all that, but I'm really just interested to work with Kathryn Hahn."
"Agatha: Coven of Chaos" is expected to release on Disney+ in winter 2023.
Tom Hollander who plays the mysterious Quentin on season two of "The White Lotus," also voices Bruce Wayne's butler named Alfred on HBO Max's animated series "Harley Quinn."
The true intentions of Hollander's "White Lotus" character will likely be revealed during the finale, which will release on Sunday, December 11.
