While most people slowed down during the pandemic, Jake Lacy's schedule accelerated. It began with filming "The White Lotus" for HBO, where his portrayal of an entitled newlywed dissatisfied with his honeymoon hotel room earned Lacy his first Emmy nomination. "Since 'White Lotus,' I feel like I haven't stopped moving. If I'm home between now and New Year's, that'll be the longest we've been in one place in two plus years," said Lacy, 38, over Zoom from his home in Connecticut. But he's also quick to note his good fortune because "My love for this work fires every one of my cylinders. When it's good, it's good. There's just nothing better for me (besides) my family and this work. Maybe reading books. That's it." Lacy has been recognizable for more than a decade, popping up, for instance, on the final season of "The Office" as Pete, a new salesman at Dunder Mifflin, or as a suitor for Rooney Mara in "Carol." There was also a recurring role as Lena Dunham's good-guy boyfriend, Fran, in HBO's "Girls." Although he was "working consistently," Lacy said doubt about that next job would creep in. "I felt like, 'I don't know how I'm going to have two kids and buy a house and do this, like it just might not happen'... then a job would come along and buoy me long enough to not feel that way anymore." When "White Lotus" began production, Lacy said the set was energized by having cameras roll again. "I think because of the pandemic, none of us had filmed in a year or eight months at best. There was a real enthusiasm and kind of gnawing excitement to be like, 'Get me out there, let's do this."⁠ ⁠ Tap link in bio for more on @EDGEmedianetwork ⁠ ????
