Tony, Emmy, and Golden Globe-nominated actor Lou Diamond Phillips talks to Josh Johnson about starring in the new film “Gangland.” They discuss what draws him to making westerns and how this film shows an evolution of the neo-western genre by centering Indigenous stories and talent, both in front of and behind the camera. Phillips also shares what still excites him about the creative process as an actor, speaks to his mission as a recently re-elected governor of the Actors Branch of The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to seek out and uplift new talent, and encourages young artists not to build their careers on fleeting trends that might be a “foundation of sand.” #DailyShow #LouDiamondPhillips #Western

Forever thankful you introduced a lot of us 70s and 80s kids to Ritchie Valens. (yes, many of our parents did play his music for us. But, they couldn’t do it like that. They introduced the music many times, but he told the story!)
What a treat,thank you TDS
Diamond 💎 Lou 😊
“Indigenous talent”? I don’t get it? 40,000 years ago there was nobody in America. It’s only inhabited now because immigration at different times. Why do you get to be “indigenous” by the fact your ancestors emigrated there 20,000 years ago rather than 500 years ago? Oh, I see. The power of victimhood. Got it.
Loved him forever and I have high expectations and he has never let me down every show every movie better for him acting in it
🪶👏🏼
GREAT interview! I always liked LDP, but I never knew how funny and normal he is!
I saw Phillips in the King and I. He is a marvelous actor and a thrill to see him perform.
