Walton Goggins chatted with Variety about the mood of The White Lotus cast before going into the 2025 Emmys with 23 nominations. The actor said not only he but the entire ensemble is filled with “a whole lot of love” and support for each other, divulging that many of them are even staying at the same hotel for the soiree. Goggins further shared that many of the cast members caught up in the city, while also crediting Mike White for orchestrating the show that brings them together.

Ball admitted that it nearly made him sick with nerves, but within weeks, the demanding production already felt like home. Notably, while The Pitt, which reportedly cast real nurses, has 13 Emmy nominations, Ball does not have any to his name.
