\u201cMy saving grace was the theater department. I was in a place where there was a massive amount of acceptance because we were all sort of fringe people. All of a sudden, you're not the only outsider.\u201d\nThe legendary Louis Diamond Phillips is an actor and film director. Known to audiences globally as the breakout star in La Bamba and Young Guns, and his deceptively effortless work in the brilliant Stand and Deliver, Phillips is a face that we all recognize (ironically), moreso for his work playing non-Asian roles\u2026until now.\nLou Diamond Phillips appears in a cameo role as himself in the new film EASTER SUNDAY about a man returning home for an Easter celebration with his riotous, bickering, eating, drinking, laughing, loving family in this love letter to his Filipino- American community. Stand-up comedy sensation JO KOY leads an all-star comedic cast: JIMMY O. YANG (Silicon Valley series), TIA CARRERE (True Lies, Wayne\u2019s World films), BRANDON WARDELL (Curb Your Enthusiasm series), Tony nominee and Grammy Award winner EVA NOBLEZADA (Broadway\u2019s Hadestown), LYDIA GASTON (Broadway\u2019s The King and I), ASIF ALI (WandaVision), RODNEY TO (Parks and Recreation series), EUGENE CORDERO (The Good Place), JAY CHANDRASEKHAR (Super Troopers series) and of course Lou himself.\nLou chats with us about experiencing racism for the first time as an actor, juxtaposed with the excitement he has now for playing a Filipino on screen for the first time. We were so excited for the opportunity to speak with Lou and we know you\u2019re going to love hearing about the moments that brought him to where he is today!\nLEARN MORE ABOUT:\n\nLou Diamond Philips: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lou_Diamond_Phillips\n\n\nEaster Sunday (Trailer): https://youtu.be/YIixb42aJPg\n\n\nFollow on social: @eastersunday @loudphillips\n\nMENTIONS\n\nFILM: EASTER SUNDAY https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_Sunday_(film)\n\n\nFILM: LA BAMBA https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093378/\n\n\nMUSICAL: KING & I https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_King_and_I\n\n\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
