Summary

Lou Diamond Phillips has an old-school, theater-based work ethic, which is why there’s almost nothing he can’t or won’t do—from appearing on The Masked Singer to imitating the look of Buffalo Bill Cody for his newest film Get Fast, now available on VOD. He doesn’t mind that people still talk to him about playing Ritchie Valens in La Bamba because he’s (justly) proud of the film and his performance in it, as you will hear. Leonard and Jessie also have a personal connection to this gracious and talented man.
