Aside from Jennifer Coolidge, John Gries is the only other actor returning to "The White Lotus" from Season 1. During the show's first go-around, he played Greg, a charming man who wooed Tanya. By the time Season 2 begins, the two are married, but Greg seems a bit meaner than he used to. "I can't speculate how you're gonna feel, but Greg has his own complexities and we'll get to see and know those a little bit better," Gries teased to Collider. "He's also got his demons."

The actor been around Hollywood for a long time. He played Shawn on 54 episodes of Martin Lawrence's sitcom, "Martin," starred in "The Pretender," and perhaps most famously played Uncle Rico in "Napoleon Dynamite." Looking back at the role years later, he told Shock Ya! that his manager was surprised to find out he wanted to be in the film despite there being little financial reward for it. "This script spoke to me, I heard the voice, and called my manager back, and said 'yeah, we're doing this, absolutely," he recalled. "I'm going to drive myself there to Idaho to do this ... I don't care what they pay me, I want to do this."

In an interview with Newsweek, Gries said he's not sure how he's been able to sustain his career. "If I could package it and sell it, I might be rich, but I don't know," he said. "In a weird way, it requires luck."
