Sam Niwola surprised the audience with his brilliant performance in the White Lotus season 3. The actor is the son of popular actors Alesandro Nivola and British actress Emily Mortimmer and hence she is often labeled as Napo Kid. However, the young star revealed that he was proud to play an important role in the HBO show, all of them.
Nivola depicts the role of Lochalan Ratalife with some experienced actors, such as Jason Isak, Walton Gogins, Patrick Schwarzenegger and Michel Monaghan.
Sam Niwola is being tagged a Nepo child
In conversation with diversity, the actor talked about brother -in -law and about tagging as a Napo child. Niwola said, “Apart from my genes, I don’t think I can give my success a lot of credit for my parents. I feel proud that I have done it for myself, and sometimes despite them.”
He said, “(with my first role) I did not find my father’s agent so much to call. I did it by myself. I did not want to give anyone an excuse to be able to say that what I have achieved is because of anyone else but I am proud of him.”
Talking about his popular parents, the actor claimed that he was upset with the news of his exit to pursue acting. Sam explained, “My parents were upset. It was completely intimidating them, which makes sense. I was not happy at the time because I could not dedicate everything to me to act. And I have a problem with authority data.”
Meanwhile, although Nivola grew up in the spotlight, he was not ready for the fame that presented herself after his performance of his The White Lotus.
The actor said, “When the white lotus was at its peak, I could not literally walk on the road in Brooklyn – my hometown – without a herd.”
All the white lotus seasons are available to stream on HBO.
