The White Lotus Season 3's all-star cast gets even starrier in episode 2, thanks to a voice-over cameo from none other than Academy Award winner Ke Huy Quan (Everything Everywhere All at Once).

Quan has an uncredited role as Timothy Ratliff's (Jason Isaacs) former business partner Kenneth Nguyen, who is under investigation for some shady dealings the two carried out in Brunei. He calls Timothy towards the end of episode 2, and in the discussion that follows, he reveals that the FBI has raided his house and that Timothy is implicated in the investigation. Kenny's advice to Timothy? Get a lawyer.

All in all, not a great start to a wellness-focused vacation!

Quan's appearance isn't the first time The White Lotus creator Mike White has brought an Oscar winner into the fold for a voice-over cameo. In Season 2, Laura Dern (Marriage Story), who also worked with White on Enlightened, voiced Dominic Di Grasso's (Michael Imperioli) wife Abby. You may remember her absolutely tearing him to pieces and sobbing over the phone.

On top of these voice-over appearances, White has made a habit of bringing his Survivor: David vs. Goliath castmates to The White Lotus for quick cameos. So be sure to keep your eyes peeled and your ears wide open when you watch the show — you never know who you might catch onscreen.

The White Lotus Season 3 is now streaming on Max, with new episodes every Sunday at 9 p.m. ET on HBO and Max.
