Up, Close & Personal with Actor, Lou Diamond Phillips
You likely remember him as Ritchie Valens in the biographical drama film La Bamba (1987). And for Stand and Deliver (1988) for which he was nominated for a Golden Globe Award and won an Independent Spirit Award.
He then made his Broadway debut with the 1996 revival of The King and I, earning a Tony Award nomination for his portrayal of King Mongkut of Siam. His other notable films include Young Guns (1988), Young Guns II (1990), Courage Under Fire (1996), The Big Hit (1998), Brokedown Palace (1999), Che (2008), and The 33 (2015). In the television series Longmire, he played a main character Henry Standing Bear. He also portrayed New York City Police Lieutenant Gil Arroyo on Prodigal Son on FOX from 2019 to 2021.
Most recently he was Mantis on The Masked Singer.
He’s Lou Diamond Phillips. I caught up with Lou recently in Niagara Falls, ON at Niagara Falls Comic Con.
We had a terrific chat about his Filipino background, playing Latino role, the huge successes & lulls of his acting career that span decades, things most people don’t realize about actors, and lots more!
