Actor Patrick Schwarzenegger, 31, is making waves in the entertainment industry after landing a role on HBO’s “The White Lotus” season three. The show’s creator, Mike White, has launched the careers of numerous young actors in the past.
Schwarzenegger spoke about his experience on set, saying it was a “really interesting bonding experience” and likened it to summer camp. He also praised the cast and crew for their professionalism and camaraderie.
To play the character of Saxon, Schwarzenegger had to psych himself up due to the role’s objectifying nature. However, he said he trusted Mike White and was willing to take on the challenge.
Schwarzenegger expressed relief that his career boost would allow him to focus on his craft rather than just his personal goals. He emphasized the importance of working with great directors and writers, saying he would be picky about projects but open to opportunities.
The young actor has been taking acting classes for nine years, including theater every Thursday night, and feels validated by his new role. With this experience, Schwarzenegger is gaining exposure to a wider audience and looking forward to the next project that comes his way.
