The White Lotus creator Mike White made a rare appearance at HBO Max’s Nominee Celebration on Sunday to celebrate season three’s 23 Emmy nominations and shed some light on his unique process.

Joined by stars Parker Posey , Jason Isaacs , Natasha Rothwell, Sam Rockwell, casting director Meredith Tucker and a virtual Carrie Coon, White explained that when he’s putting together the group of actors for a new season, “It feels like it works best when it’s sort of like an orchestra, and you want different voices and you want a whole variety.

It’s like if you’re a connoisseur of taste, you want a little a taste of this, a little taste of that.”
