Who is Arnas Fedaravičius? Meet The White Lotus and The Last Kingdom star
The actor could be one of the show's latest breakout stars.
The White Lotus is no stranger to eye candy, with earlier seasons building major storylines out of stolen glances and scandalous affairs – and season 3 is poised to be no different.
The latest episodes move the action to Thailand, where a new group of guests (plus one familiar face) get ready for the holiday of a lifetime (that they might not actually survive).
One of the key players in The White Lotus season 3 cast is Arnas Fedaravičius, who will be well-known to any fans of Netflix's gone-but-not-forgotten historical drama The Last Kingdom.
He plays one of the hotel's staff members and wellness experts Valentin, whose interesting backstory and flirty banter with Laurie (Carrie Coon), Jaclyn (Michelle Monaghan) and Kate (Leslie Bibb) are likely to grab the attention of viewers.
Here's everything you need to know about the actor as The White Lotus season 3 finally premieres. (You can also check out our review here).
