to Lisa Kudrow, but the Friends alum isn't too keen to join the show.
Among the many recognisable TV stars are the two most famous actresses, Parker Posey and Lisa Kudrow. In a recent interview with Variety, the two talked about the sharp social satire, 'The White Lotus,' and '1994 'sitcom Friends, in which Lisa starred as the quirky Phoebe Buffay.
While conversing with the No Good Deed star, Posey suggested that she should star in the upcoming season 4 of the 'White Lotus' series. Although Lisa expressed her desire to collaborate with Mike White, she believes that she would not be the creator's cup of tea. The Comeback star also commended White, saying she thought some of his projects were fantastic.
'Would you enter the White Lotus world?' the You've Got Mail actress continued to press Kudrow during their conversation. In response, the sitcom star went on to say, 'Work with Mike White? Yes. I love Mike White. I've hung out with him at a party.'
Additionally, Kudrow mentioned that she emailed White to let him know how much she liked Brad's Status. She continued saying that 'The White Lotus' showrunner is quite outgoing.
Posey yet again pitched to the actress. She said, 'Oh, Lisa, you should be in Season 4. If there's a big enough TikTok campaign, then it'll happen.'
To which she replied, 'And I might not be his cup of tea, which is allowed to happen too. But I do get nervous about inhabiting things that are too dark; I try to avoid that. But you didn't really have to, except for the scenes where your head's blown off. But it's pretend.'
Lisa Kudrow rose to fame after ten years of playing the witty Phoebe Buffay on the NBC comedy Friends, alongside famous actors like Jennifer Aniston, Matt LeBlanc, Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer, and the late Matthew Perry.
As for Posey, the actress played Jack's rival in a number of Will & Grace episodes. In addition, the actress played Victoria Ratliff in the series' debut season.
