Lou Diamond Phillips (placeholder)

I used to take acting classes with him when we both lived in Dallas. One day, we were hanging around the school and he was talking about some movie he got cast in called La Bamba and we all wondered if anything would ever come of it. It’s kind of funny to see him in films with Kiefer Sutherland and all those people because I am used to those people being actors. I am used to Lou being Lou. It’s almost as if he is only pretending to be an actor. Which would make him a person who was pretending to be a person who was pretending to be a person… Hmmm. That’s kind of like one of those sets of mirrors where you look in the mirror and see yourself reflected in the mirror in front of you, but also see your reflection of your reflection in the mirror behind you, which really has nothing to do with Lou, does it? Only I did see him look in a mirror once…

When I was in college, some classmates and I were downtown for a project when we stumbled across a movie being shot on a street. It turned out Lou Diamond Phillips and Kieffer Sutherland were the stars. While we were hanging around, we saw Lou who, when my friend approached saying “Mr Phillips may we get our photo taken with you?” graciously replied “No, please, Lou.” Then he allowed us to take a couple group photos with him. All in all a really nice guy!
