Lacy was known for playing nice guys on TV – then came the first season of The White Lotus, and now he’s in a new series with Sarah Snook

You may know him for playing the douchey rich husband from The White Lotus season one, but Jake Lacy is venturing further afield. He’s been making waves for starring in the new Peacock series, All Her Fault.
Featuring Lacy, Dakota Fanning and Succession’s Sarah Snook, All Her Fault had viewers gripping the edge of their seats throughout the eight-episode thriller. Adapted from Andrea Mara’s 2021 bestselling thriller book of the same name, the show follows Snook and Lacy as Marissa and Peter Irvine, whose five-year-old son, Milo, is abducted.

Jameson “Jake” Griffin Lacy was born on Valentine’s Day in 1986, and raised in Vermont. While attending high school at Otter Valley Union High School, Lacy began taking vocational theatre classes; soon, high school acting roles occupied more of his time than activities like sports, per the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. He also recalled being told that with acting, “it takes more work than you think it does”.
