'We got to make this happen'

Gage, who memorably played 'White Lotus' resort staff member Dillon for five episodes, including the 'White Lotus' season 1 finale, recently spoke with People at a tequila launch party. During their conversation, he revealed that he would love to play the attorney, saying, "I could bring that role to life. I would love to." He went on to say that Ryan Murphy should make the trial into a miniseries.

"Give me the opportunity to play this role. This is what I'm talking about when people confuse actors for their real-life characters. Of course, I'm not equipped to be a lawyer and be in this case, but God, I could bring that role to life. I would love to. Me and that blue suit. Can you see it? A little wig on, a little makeup, and just the way that [she] and Gwen had chemistry with each other, that whole case was beautiful to watch. I loved it, I wish it was longer. Listen, Ryan Murphy, we got to make this series. We got to make this happen."

Lukas Gage in other series

Gage has also increased his cachet in the industry considerably since his appearance on 'The White Lotus'. In addition to appearances on 'Queer as Folk,' and 'Angelyne,' the star joined the 'You' season 4 cast, becoming a major facet of the hit Netflix stalker series. He also has prominent roles coming soon in 'Fargo' and 'The Other Two,' continuing his ascent into the television star stratosphere and giving him much more control over the future roles he could potentially take.
