LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Sometimes some people are fated to play a certain role, and sometimes people make opportunities, Lukas Gage seems to be the one who belongs to the second criterion. Furthermore, Lukas Gage and Chris Appleton put on a loved-up display recently as they stepped out together in New York City. The 27-year-old White Lotus star and 39-year-old hairstylist to Kim Kardashian were dressed casually as they walked and took the subway. Not many know this but the 'The White Lotus,' and 'You' star has also appeared in 'American Vandal,' and Zendaya's 'Euphoria'. Speaking of Zendaya, she was recently spotted with her beau, Tom Holland in India for an event, NMACC where there were several other Hollywood A-listers, starting from Priyanka Chopra, and Nick Jonas to Gigi Hadid.

'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.
