‘The White Lotus' Season Three Highlights Luxury Timekeeping With Gold Rolex Watches and Bejeweled Timepieces
While fans of 'The White Lotus' are counting down to the Season Three finale episode, which will premiere on Sunday on both Max and HBO, WWD is taking a closer look at the watches seen on the show throughout the season. From Victoria (Parker Posey) and Timothy Ratliff (Jason Isaacs) coordinating in gold Rolex watches to the luxurious Jacob & Co. Fleurs de Jardin worn by Sritala Hollinger (Lek Patravadi), here are some of the timepieces catching the viewers' attention with their bling.
Jaclyn (Michelle Monaghan) is seen wearing the Nantucket watch by Hermès in the first episode of Season Three. The timepiece features a 17mm rose gold case with an anti-glare sapphire crystal, a white mother-of-pearl dial and quartz movement. It's currently available at hermes.com for $15,850.

Victoria Ratliff (Parker Posey) is almost always seen with her Rolex in the show. The style chosen for the character is the Day-Date II, also known as the President's watch, which can be purchased with different dials and bezels. The Rolex Caliber 3156 movement powers it and offers a power reserve of approximately 48 hours. The style features the President bracelet, characterized by its semi-circular three-piece links. A similar 18-karat yellow gold version of the watch with a champagne diamond dial is on sale for $36,800 at luxury jewelry and watch retailer Avi&Co.
Like his wife in the show, Timothy Ratliff (Jason Isaacs) also has a penchant for Rolex, always wearing the Rolex Day-Date 40. Introduced in 2015, the style features a 40mm Oyster case crafted from 18-karat yellow gold, Everose gold or platinum. It comes with a fluted bezel and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, as well as Cyclops lens. It's powered by the Rolex Caliber 3255 and boasts a 70-hour power reserve. The style is available in various dial designs, including champagne, chocolate with diamonds or blue. Retailer Luxury of Watches sells a similar style by $49,995.00.
The Cartier Baignoire worn by Laurie (Carrie Coon) was first conceptualized in 1912 and named 'Baignoire' (French for 'bathtub') in 1973. This watch features a distinctive oval-shaped case, quartz movement, a beaded crown set with a sapphire cabochon, a sapphire crystal case and a black varnished calfskin leather strap. Cartier currently sells the watch for $7,250.
Saxon Ratliff (Patrick Schwarzenegger) has worn different watches throughout the season, including the Rolex Milgauss. Launched in 1956, the Milgauss was the first watch to resist magnetic fields up to 1,000 gauss, thanks to its innovative ferromagnetic shield inside the case. The name 'Milgauss' derives from 'mille' (French for thousand) and 'gauss,' a unit of magnetic measurement. Key features include a 40mm Oystersteel case and the striking lightning-bolt-shaped orange seconds hand. A pre-owned model can be found for $8,891.00 at Bloomingdale's.
Lochlan Ratliff (Sam Nivola) wears the Swatch x Omega Moonswatch 'Mission to Saturn' in the show. The watch is part of the Bioceramic MoonSwatch collection, inspired by the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch. This model features a 42mm bioceramic case in sandy beige and a brown Velcro strap. The brown dial includes distinctive subdials, with the seconds subdial at 6 o'clock uniquely depicting Saturn's rings. The tachymeter bezel showcases the 'dot over ninety' detail, a signature Speedmaster element. The watch is priced at $270 at swatch.com.
Sritala Hollinger (Lek Patravadi) wears the Jacob & Co. Fleurs de Jardin, designed to evoke a blooming garden on your wrist. This timepiece features a 42.5mm case crafted from 18-karat rose gold or white gold, with options for intricate gem settings including rainbow sapphires and diamonds. It features a manually wound JCAM31 caliber, boasting 444 components, 43 jewels and a 48-hour power reserve. The Fleurs de Jardin is on sale for $380,000 at Jacob & Co.
Fabien (Christian Friedel) is seen in the show wearing the Tag Heuer Carrera Chronograph watch. Introduced in 1963, the Carrera was named after the grueling Carrera Panamericana road race, reflecting its roots in precision and endurance. The modern collection features various models, including the 44mm steel chronograph (Ref. CBN2A1B.BA0643). Powered by the in-house Caliber TH20-00 automatic movement, the Carrera Chronograph offers an 80-hour power reserve and operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz). The watch is available at tagheuer.com for $22,400.00.

One of Tijuana's Most Legendary Taco Spots Opens in San Diego
The opening of Tacos El Franc, one of Tijuana's most famous taquerias, is the moment San Diegans have been waiting for. The taqueria opens on June 11 inside Westfield Plaza Bonita in National City from the founding Valadez family, along with partners Roberto Kelly and Salvador Lombroso. The legendary taquería illuminates a wide stretch of Sánchez Taboada and beckons a steady flow of diners looking for Tijuana-style carne asada and spicy adobada on handmade corn tortillas. Tacos El Franc has big expansion plans in the U.S., with a second location coming to San Diego's Gaslamp in just a few weeks. Tacos El Franc founder Don Javier Valadez started serving tacos from a street cart in Tijuana's Colonia El Soler in 1974, saving up to open a first brick-and-mortar taquería called Tacos La Glorieta just a few blocks away. The red-and-white checkerboard tiled fonda remains one of the city's most respected old-school destinations for tacos in Tijuana. Then came Tacos El Francés in 1986, advertising Mexican flavors with a French twist to hint to the French ancestry in the Valadez family tree (the 'A' in the storefront sign forms an Eiffel Tower). Tacos El Francés eventually moved to its current location in Playas de Tijuana, but the business really took off with Tacos El Franc on Sánchez Taboada, near the intersection of downtown Tijuana and Zona Río. Tacos El Franc has been recommended in the Michelin Guide and was featured on Netflix's Taco Chronicles . Tijuana taco culture continues to proliferate in the U.S., with a nationwide Tijuana-style beef birria frenzy that began in Los Angeles in the 2010s. Chains that serve guacamole-covered carne asada and adobada, like Tacomasa, Tijuanazo (and its sister restaurant Tacos Frontera), and Tacos 1986, continue to expand across Southern California. In Las Vegas, Tacos El Gordo serves more than 4,000 tacos a day. With the Westfield Plaza Bonita opening, Tacos El Franc joins hometown competitors Tacos El Gordo, with seven U.S. locations, including in San Diego, Chula Vista, and Las Vegas, and, most recently, Tijuanazo, which expanded in East Los Angeles and Hillcrest in 2024. The restaurant design features red-and-white tile walls and counters that recall the original Tacos La Glorieta, as well as brick walls in the dining area. The stainless steel kitchen area is filled with cooks working shoulder-to-shoulder, smoke and steam billowing out between them as they move swiftly. The taquería may be inside a suburban mall, but the show behind the counter is pure Tijuana. For Kelly, this opportunity has been 23 years in the making. 'I've been a customer since I was a teenager and always wanted to get Don Javier to open in San Diego,' says Kelly, who grew up working in his mother's Tijuana restaurant and is now an entrepreneur. 'Once I felt ready, I approached Don Javier with a plan.' Don Javier is supervising the project to ensure his tacos, mulitas, quesadillas, vampiros, and tostadas are filled with quality ingredients. Steaks must be cooked over mesquite, and the kitchen team must work in a traditional taco brigade system. 'We will have two trompos with taqueros, another on the tacos de fritanga station, one for the steamed meats, and a master taquero on carne asada supported by a pair of expeditors,' explains Kelly. Don Javier trained the taqueros in the new National City location, while a team traveled to Tijuana to learn the salsas, vegetable preparation, and marinades. Westfield Plaza Bonita's Tacos El Franc uses top sirloin for its tacos de carne asada and pork picnic roast for adobada that will be sliced from the trompos. Each trompo can hold more than 200 pounds of meat. From the tacos de fritanga station, cuts like suadero and tripas are fried in fat along the inside rim of a stainless steel disc. The last part of the kitchen steams beef head and tongue, just as in Tijuana. Tacos de carne asada are served with hand-pressed corn tortillas, while premade tortillas sourced from a San Diego tortillería are used for all other tacos. Kelly says any taco can be upgraded to a handmade one for an additional charge. The menu also includes simple vasos de frijol (whole beans), or prepared cups of beans with meat and cheese. The U.S. Tacos El Franc team promises the full Tijuana experience in terms of speedy service and flavor, but they also hope to mix in a little bit of San Diego with the menu additions of carne asada and adobada fries. 'We have plans to expand to Las Vegas, but for now we are focused on these pair of San Diego openings,' says Kelly, who knows Don Javier was approached with many offers to open in the U.S. but ultimately chose to partner with him. 'I'm shocked every day that this is even happening, that Don Javier agreed to work with me and fulfill my dream.' Tacos El Franc opens on June 11 and will serve daily from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., Westfield Plaza Bonita, 3030 Plaza Bonita Road, Space 1108, National City, CA 91950.

Sam Nivola and Cooper Koch Confront Nepo Baby Criticism and Being Accused of Playing Sexual Deviant Brothers: ‘You Still Have to Love Your Character'
Sam Nivola and Cooper Koch both played brothers in complicated fraternal relationships this past year. Nivola, as Lochlan Ratliff on 'The White Lotus,' yearned to impress elder sibling Saxon (Patrick Schwarzenegger), but ended up in an intoxicated tryst with him. Koch, as Erik Menendez on 'Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,' had to deliver a prismatic performance, illuminating all the ways that commentators and intimates saw the case of two brothers accused and later convicted of killing their parents. Both actors also had to deliver showpiece moments: Nivola in Lochlan's season-ending near-death experience and Koch in a one-take episode in which Erik explains to his attorney the abuse within the Menendez household. Sam Nivola: This is our first time meeting. More from Variety Parker Posey Tells Lisa Kudrow to Star in 'The White Lotus' Season 4 as They Bond Over Sitcom Struggles and Why Phoebe on 'Friends' Was 'A Lot of Work' Seth Rogen and Jason Segel Relive 27 Years of Friendship: Smoking Before 'The Matrix,' Peeing Next to Scorsese and Harrison Ford Watching Segel Naked 'Monsters' Star Cooper Koch Read His One-Take Episode Script 'Almost Every Day' for Eight Months: 'I Would Write Out All of the Words' Cooper Koch: But I feel like we've known each other — you kind of are my brother. Nivola: We should have been in each other's shows. Koch: It should have just been us. So what's the beginning for you? Where did it all start? Nivola: I'm from Brooklyn, New York. I grew up with two parents who were both actors — [Alessandro Nivola and Emily Mortimer]. Koch: OK. Nivola: Do you have parents in the industry? Koch: I don't have actor parents, but my grandfather was a producer. Nivola: I constantly get the question. Koch: Nepo baby. Nivola: Yeah, nepo baby. My whole thing was that my parents really didn't want me to be an actor, which I totally get — I don't know if I'd want my kid to be an actor. It's a really mentally tough career to be in. And even if I had no success, I would want to be doing it. But they really didn't want me to do it. Koch: And then, of course, you're like, 'Sorry, I'm doing it, guys.' Nivola: You did a lot of theater in high school? Koch: Since I was 5 years old. We had two musicals a year. I see my life as a constant. You start a show, and you have the rehearsals. And then you do the show, and it's over, and then what's the next one? And then you go again. What were you doing before you got that first job? Did you do any theater? Nivola: I did. I did all the school plays that I could do. I was just really into watching movies. I initially got a Criterion Channel subscription to impress this girl that I was courting. She's like, 'I wear berets, and I'm really into France at the moment.' And I was like, 'OK, I can get behind that.' And then I had a period of ultimate pretension and fell in love with cinema: That audition was for 'White Noise.' [I said], 'This is an opportunity to be on the set of one of the greatest directors of all time,' but my parents really wanted me to go to college, which I understand. Koch: Did you not go to college? Nivola: I went to college for one semester. Koch: I love that. How did you land this crazy part that … Nivola: … changed my life? I fear it's not going to be as interesting as you think it is, because it's literally like, did a self-tape, did a callback, booked it. My callback was with Mike [White]. The one thing that was different is that his writing is just unbelievably natural and real. Not that other writing I've worked with in the past isn't, but there's something I specifically love about the way he writes that made it so I didn't have to do any work to prepare for the audition. What about your audition process? What's Ryan Murphy's vibe? Koch: We actually didn't know that he was going to be there. They didn't tell us. We just thought it was going to be casting directors. But then he just waltzes in the room. He was like, 'How much do you know?' And I was like, 'I know everything.' Nivola: Referring to the lines? Koch: No, referring to the story. We sat down and had this amazing conversation about it all. It really calmed the nerves. We went upstairs and did the callback for two hours. We did three scenes and had conversations in between. It was very collaborative — one of the best audition experiences I've ever had. Nivola: 'What do you know?' That's amazing. You were like, 'All of it.' Koch: 'I know everything!' Because I've been with this story for so long. My second audition ever was for the 'Law & Order' series about them in 2017. And then I also had an audition for the Lifetime movie that they were doing the same year. I just felt this insane cosmic thing that was like, 'I have to play this part.' And this immense empathy. There are all of these weird parallels. We both went to Calabasas High School. Nivola: Holy shit. Koch: Yeah. So it's been a long ride. And I still care so deeply about both of them. They're going to parole board in June; that looks very positive. Nivola: Did you watch tons of videos to try to impersonate the way he speaks and the way he walks? What level of impersonating were you doing? Part of what I love so much about the show is that there's a lot of ambiguity, and so you have to make some hard-and-fast choices. Koch: I listened to him every night before I went to bed. I had him on in the car when I was driving. I really did want to get his voice and mannerisms, because they all further support that he was being sexually abused by his father. I know there's so many perspectives, but I always wanted the audience to sympathize with him. Nivola: I have to ask you about the one-take episode. How many takes did you do? Koch: I had eight months with it, so I just read it every day, and I would visualize what he was saying and create those images so clearly, so that when we went to do it, it would emotionally affect me. We did eight takes, four on the first day, four on the second day, and they chose the very last one. Nivola: This was near the end of the shoot? Koch: Yeah — I had a really long time with it, and it was the backbone of my whole character. That was my backstory; I didn't have to write one. They wrote it for me. Let me turn it back on you. How did you get your relationship down? You and Patrick had such an interesting dichotomy. Nivola: We talked to each other a lot about it. Part of the nature of that show that makes it such a dream as an actor is that you're living with the people that are your family in the show, and you're spending all your time with them. They've shut the hotels down so there's no one else there to distract you. The time difference with New York was 12 hours, so I was hardly in touch with anyone. Koch: You're really in that bubble. Nivola: And you feel like your character, in a lot of ways, because you're sleeping in the same bed. We talked with Mike a lot about the siblings, getting the dynamic of those two on opposite ends of this spectrum of morality. I think something we've both had to deal with is lots of people being like, 'Your character's kind of a creep.' Koch: It's so funny. I didn't feel that way at all. At the end, when you're like, 'I'm a people pleaser, I just want to make everybody happy, I'm in a family of narcissists,' I fully was like, 'Yes. That's what this is.' What do people say? Nivola: Well, they're just saying he's a sexual deviant of some sort. In your case as well, let's say they were murderers who killed in cold blood and there was no reason for it. Or let's say my character is a pervert. You still have to find a way as an actor to love your character. I get really protective over my characters. Koch: As you should. That's the only way. Nivola: You can tell, watching, how much you love Erik, and that's a beautiful thing. Koch: So to bring it around to death, what was that like? Nivola: It was really emotional. Before going to Thailand, I would speak very disparagingly about actors coming back from a shoot and being like, 'I really lost myself in the character.' 'Fuck you!' But when I was there, I was like, 'I get it now.' I felt like Jason Isaacs was my dad, bringing such raw realness to that scene: I'm in this moment, and I'm dying. Koch: I really thought you were gone. Nivola: I did too.

Natasha Rothwell and Sterling K. Brown Get Honest About ‘White Lotus' Rewrites, Doomsday and Being No. 1 on the Call Sheet: ‘For the Longest Time I Thought It Meant Something'
Natasha Rothwell is seeking a friend for the end of the world. A beloved and fiery social media presence, the writer-actor-producer-showrunner hit a professional high this year with a triumphant return to HBO's 'The White Lotus.' She reprises her role as Belinda Lindsey, a masseuse trying to move on from the broken Season 1 promises of Jennifer Coolidge's flaky heiress. But in real life, she confesses to Sterling K. Brown that she's been researching underground doomsday vaults, given the state of global politics. More from Variety Sam Nivola and Cooper Koch Confront Nepo Baby Criticism and Being Accused of Playing Sexual Deviant Brothers: 'You Still Have to Love Your Character' Parker Posey Tells Lisa Kudrow to Star in 'The White Lotus' Season 4 as They Bond Over Sitcom Struggles and Why Phoebe on 'Friends' Was 'A Lot of Work' Seth Rogen and Jason Segel Relive 27 Years of Friendship: Smoking Before 'The Matrix,' Peeing Next to Scorsese and Harrison Ford Watching Segel Naked It's the perfect topic for Brown, a three-time Emmy winner for projects like 'The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story' and 'This Is Us.' Teaming again with creator Dan Fogelman on Hulu's streaming hit 'Paradise,' Brown plays a Secret Service agent living in a city-sized bunker beneath a mountain in Colorado after a catastrophe on Earth. He's investigating the murder of the U.S. president and trying to find signs of his missing wife aboveground. Survival is a common thread between the pair, as they've navigated a business full of inequities and unstable opportunities for work on-screen and behind the camera. There's plenty of joy to be had, however, as the two unpack their first time meeting on Issa Rae's seminal HBO comedy 'Insecure.' They also set some healthy boundaries, as Rothwell notes that Brown's appeal to mature women can sometimes lead to friction — even between her own mother and father. Sterling K. Brown: You're so demure and refined. I was [shocked] by the way that you dropped into your wild character on 'Insecure' when we first met. You started on that show as a writer? Natasha Rothwell: Yes. I was called into the office one day, and I thought I was getting in trouble for making too many dick jokes. I remember texting [Issa Rae], 'I think I just fucked up.' But they told me they wanted me to play my character Kelli, and I burst into tears. But you — you're so charismatic and easy to watch. You almost broke up my parents' marriage. [My mother] loved 'Army Wives.' Brown: Give me the story. Rothwell: I thought, 'If [Sterling] comes up here and ruins 47 years of marriage, I'm going to be upset.' Brown: I'm big with a certain set. The older Black women and me, we got a thing. But let's talk about 'The White Lotus.' It's white; we're Black. It's all good. Rothwell: I was in the HBO family because of 'Insecure,' but it was 2020 — peak COVID, pre-vaccination. They were just like, 'Who is dumb enough to leave their house right now?' I had a meeting with Mike White, and I'd been a fan of his from 'Chuck & Buck' and 'Freaks and Geeks.' But I want to talk about 'Paradise.' Are you as scared for the fate of humanity as I am? If you look at my Google search history, you might see a bunker company or two. Brown: My wife and I have a bunker in our home. I think a lot of midcentury-modern homes have them, because they were built right after World War II. We sealed it up so the kids wouldn't be playing down there. It can hold about 30 people. Rothwell: You have my number, right? Brown: I got you. Rothwell: It's wild how your show flirts with what's happening now. How close it seems we are to an extinction-level event that is a consequence of humanity. Brown: Dan Fogelman created it, as he did 'This Is Us.' He told me he was writing something with my voice in mind, and said, 'Take a look.' If I responded to it, great; if not, no big deal. I wrote him back saying, 'Amen.' He thought I said 'Amen' because Black people just randomly say 'Amen.' He asked what that meant, and I said, 'I'm in, dumbass.' Rothwell: Did he loosely pitch this to you or did you get eyes on the page? Brown: This is a Fogelman thing, and he's explained [his process] to me on a podcast that we do for 'This Is Us': He always writes the first one, and then he shows it to the studio. Either they like it or they don't. His feeling is 'I don't want notes. This is the thing that I've conceived. Do you like it or do you not like it? If you don't, then I can move on.' Rothwell: 'Paradise' is so tonally different from 'This Is Us.' To have that kind of artistry expressed by the same man, were you kind of caught off guard by that? Or did you know he had the capacity? Brown: I knew he had the capacity for anything; he can write his ass off. He's done 'Crazy, Stupid, Love.,' 'Life Itself' — dude is all over the place. He, like me, is eager to have opportunities to show the diversity of what he can do. Rothwell: I was texting with Mr. James Marsden this morning. I asked him about his experience with you, or even for something innocuous that feels like it says a lot about your character. He told me a little anecdote about how you've passed up being No. 1 on the call sheet many times because for you it's not about the numbers but about the work. And so I'll just reflect that back to you. I think for me, for the longest time, I thought it meant something. After Season 1 of 'The White Lotus' wrapped, I pulled Mike White aside and I got emotional. I went to school for acting like you did — we contain multitudes — but my entry point into the industry was comedy writing for 'Saturday Night Live.' It's been so hard to get the industry to see all of me. And they can be really entrenched in 'She's the funny, fat Black lady. We're going to put her in this corner, and that's the box she's in.' For Mike to give me Belinda, it was like he opened a cage that I felt the edges of. Now I can imagine the freedom of being able to show all of yourself when you see a role that can unlock something in you. And as [a writer], I feel authorship I didn't have for a long time. I had relegated myself as No. 12 on the call sheet in my real life. Do you know what I mean? Brown: I do. I look at this acting thing as sort of controlled schizophrenia, in that there's so many people inside of me, and each character gives me an opportunity to let one aspect of myself out. Rothwell: I feel that when I write. The best quote is 'Writing is awful, but it's wonderful to have written.' The process can be painful — it feels like an exorcism of sorts, for me to be able to put pen to paper and to allow aspects of my personality to bleed in all the characters. It's also such an exercise in control, because you have to be restrained and not just be indulgent and make it all about you — it has to be about the subtext of what you're exploring. Brown: Is there joy in just acting, because you wear so many hats? And being on location so far removed from everybody? Rothwell: I was in post for [my Hulu series] 'How to Die Alone' when I went to Thailand. I felt like, 'I don't got to worry about nothing. Something wrong with catering? Don't care.' For Season 3 of 'Lotus,' I'm just protecting Belinda; I'm holding her safe. Brown: We are blessed. What is it like for you to be working? Because we all have friends that are in this business and not as blessed right now. There's been a contraction. How is your community reflecting that contraction back to you? Rothwell: The contraction is not just being observed, it's felt. 'How to Die Alone' only had one season. I see my friends who are caterers, costumers, makeup artists. I want to make sure they're going to survive this great contraction. I just got back from the TED conference in Vancouver, and it's terrifying about what we're up against as artists to protect our work and to make sure that AI isn't just generating versions of talents that have been curated over years and years of study and apprenticeship. Brown: I think we're made of strong stuff. I also remind myself that the industry is just 100 years old. When I first started, there was a thing called pilot season. There was many a network drama. There was many a serialized. There were 22 to 24 episodes. Now we're doing six or eight. And so much has left Los Angeles. Rothwell: There was a game show shooting near us in Thailand. Brown: I was just working in Australia, and there were seven other productions living in my hotel. Rothwell: There's a little bit of 'Molly, you in danger, girl' about it all. Brown: Speaking of Belinda and the last 'White Lotus,' she's in a moral conundrum because she's [avoiding] a man she knows by another name who was not good to his wife. You ultimately wind up approaching him, and he hits you with an indecent proposal. What would Natasha do in Belinda's situation? Take the money and run? Rothwell: I think that Belinda saw an opportunity to get something she fundamentally believed she deserved. She's a moral center for the show. I'm scared for her, because I do think karma is real and the money is blood money. That storyline was my pitch. Brown: Was it really? Rothwell: It was my pitch. Listen, this is why I love Mike White. Originally it was Belinda's son, Zion, running the show. I told Mike I really wanted to see Belinda have agency in this moment. Can she take over the negotiation in some way? What is an authentic way for her to show that she's pushing her chips in along with her son? Being able to show that turn, she sees that she has power over a white man — the kind of man that she's been rubbing the backs of for a long time. Brown: Is she breaking bad? Rothwell: I don't know that she's breaking bad, but I think she feels that there's an opportunity here. I also come from a place of great empathy. I remember when I was first able to not think about money 24/7. I used to carry around a check in my wallet when I was fucking broke. I wrote it for the amount of my student loans just to say, 'Someday I'm going to be able to [pay this].' Brown: Did the money Belinda got also quell her on the idea of going into partnership with Pornchai [played by Dom Hetrakul]? Rothwell: That pisses me off. People are just like, 'Oh, you just left Pornchai on the side of the road.' She fucked the dude one night. She had a one-night stand. She owed him nothing. Belinda had an opportunity to betray herself again, but no. Circumstances changed. For you, your performance contains so much vulnerability and selflessness in moments. How do you find that, when I think so often the really human default is fear and 'I got to save me'? Brown: My character is someone who's been without his best friend and partner for three years. He's incomplete. And he's raising two children by himself, knowing that this wasn't how it was supposed to be. When he's introduced to the idea that his family could be reunited — Rothwell: He paused when he was in that shower with your co-star Sarah Shahi. I really need to let you know … [Rothwell shows her leg suggestively] Brown: Peloton. I'm 49 years old, and the fact that anybody wants to see 49-year-old booty, it makes me happy.
