Add Jennie Garth to the list of actors who have attempted to check into The White Lotus, which is moving to Saint-Tropez, France for Season 4.
The actress recently revealed that she was up for a part in the Thailand-set third season of Mike White’s 6x Emmy-winning HBO anthology series, although she did not say the character for which she auditioned.
“For me, one of the roles that I have recently not gotten that I was bummed about was one of the characters on White Lotus,” she said on her I Choose Me podcast. “And they shot that season in Thailand, which I would have really loved. So I was bummed about that. I’m not gonna lie.”
