Gold Derby can exclusively reveal that Will Sharpe is entering the “The White Lotus” episode “Arrivederci” as his 2023 Emmy Award submission for Best Drama Supporting Actor. “Arrivederci” aired on December 11, 2022, and is the seventh and final episode of the HBO drama’s second season. It’s the 13th episode of the series overall.
In “Arrivederci”: Hoping to help Lucia (Simona Tabasco), Albie (Adam DeMarco) asks Dominic (Michael Imperioli) for a karmic payment. With Portia (Haley Lu Richardson) still unreachable, Tanya (Jennifer Coolidge) grows increasingly wary of Quentin’s (Tom Hollander) motives. Consumed with doubts, Ethan (Will Sharpe) confronts Cam (Theo James) and gets unexpected advice from Daphne (Meghann Fahy). After an eventful night, Valentina (Sabrina Impacciatore) gives Mia (Beatrice Granno) a chance. “Arrivederci” was written and directed by “White Lotus” creator-showrunner Mike White.
This year marks the first Emmy nomination for Sharpe, who won a SAG Award as part of the “White Lotus” ensemble earlier this year. For this 2023 contest, Sharpe is competing against “Succession” castmates Matthew Macfadyen, Alan Ruck, Nicholas Braun and Alexander Skarsgard as well as his fellow “The White Lotus” players Michael Imperioli, F. Murray Abraham and Theo James.
“The White Lotus” received 23 Emmy nominations this year, including Best Drama Series, along with nods for nine of its supporting acting regulars as well as writing and directing bids for White. The series has earned a total of 44 Emmy nominations in its two seasons and won 10 trophies in 2022 while competing as a limited series.
