Scott Glenn Plays Sritala’s Husband, Jim - Where You Know Him From
Glenn Has Been In Numerous Big Productions Throughout His Decade-Long Career
ThoughDavid Carradine has been trending on Google with audiences thinking that he or his brother Keith Carradine would play Jim Hollinger,Scott Glenn appears as Sritala’s mysterious husband. David Carradine passed away in 2009, making it impossible for him to play the role, but the two actors do actually look somewhat similar, so the confusion makes sense. While Jim may not be played by Carradine, Glenn himself is likely a familiar face to audiences, as he has been in many successful movies and shows since the 1960s.

Will We See Scott Glenn’s Jim Again In The White Lotus Season 3?
Rick’s Story With Jim Seems Over Now
Jim Hollinger is largely introduced as the focus of Rick’s revenge plot, thoughRick ultimately chooses to leave Jim alive. Since the character was always understood through the lens of Rick’s story, it seems like Glenn’s role inThe White Lotusmight be done. Rick has found his peace and is ready to get back to Chelsea, and the episode’s ending does not set up any further reveals between the characters. Likewise, Jim seems to be fairly frail, so it is unlikely that he would be interested in going after Rick.
However, this isThe White Lotus, so it is impossible to rule out Jim’s return in the finale. Especially because of Sritala’s position at the hotel and Jim’s wealth, it is always possible that there could be another twist left in the season that sees him interacting with Rick again back in Ko Samui. Even if Scott Glenn’s Jim Hollinger does not appear again inThe White Lotusseason 3’s conclusion, the excellent casting choice is on par with the rest of the show.
