Who is Nicholas Duvernay? The White Lotus star playing Belinda's son Zion
The return of season 3's cold open star can only mean the end is nigh!
The White Lotus season 3 episode 6 welcomes up-and-coming actor Nicholas Duvernay back to the cast, following his dramatic first appearance in the flash-forward opening scene.
In that pivotal moment, he was having a therapy session with The White Lotus staff member Amrita (played by Shalini Peiris) when gunshots rang out from somewhere in the resort.
Fearing that his mother, season 1 spa manager Belinda (Natasha Rothwell) could be in danger, he wades through the water to find her, but actually encounters a still-to-be-identified dead body.
When the flashback began, Duvernay was still in the US focusing on his exams, but he's now arrived for a post-study break – and that means that time is almost up for one unfortunate guest.

What has Nicholas Duvernay said about The White Lotus season 3?
In an interview with Esquire prior to the season 3 premiere, Duvernay teased: "There's not much I can say, but what I will say [is] it's the biggest season, it's the baddest season, and it's the messiest season.
"It's like all the seasons kind of culminated into one, in the best but worst way, if that makes sense. Just expect to see The White Lotus on steroids this season."
On filming in Thailand with the star-studded cast, he added: "It's really an actor's dream. I started acting when I was a kid, so it's everything that I could have expected and more, down to working in Thailand and being overseas for six months.
"Being embedded in a culture that I've never been in before was unbelievable... And then working with Mike [White], who's such an unbelievable director and writer, it was the Super Bowl of everything I've done so far, for sure."
