The actor chats with The Hollywood Reporter about why his character will fare better than the rest of the financially-ruined Ratliff family — and why he's shocked people have questions about the fatal smoothie.

Nivola spoke with Variety shortly after the latest season of “The White Lotus” ended with the Ratliffs’ bidding farewell to the resort and sailing off to an uncertain future where Tim’s financial misdeeds mean that they are about to get used to fewer creature comforts.

The White Lotus season 3 finale included three deaths, as well as one near-death experience when Sam Nivola’s character, Lochlan Ratliff, used a blender with a poisoned piña colada to make a smoothie.
