Phillips' 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).

Early life

[edit]

Born Lou Diamond Upchurch on February 17, 1962, at the Subic Bay Naval Station in the Philippines, he is the son of Lucita Umayam Aranas and Gerald Amon Upchurch (1935–1963),[2] a Marine KC-130 crew chief.[3] His mother was Filipino. His father was an American of Scots-Irish and Cherokee descent. Phillips has said "I never claimed to be a Native actor, but I do have Native blood."[4][5][6]

The boy's first and middle name were in honor of US Marine Leland "Lou" Diamond.[7][8]

After his father's death when Louis was very young, his mother remarried. The boy was adopted by his stepfather ("the only dad" he really had) and his surname was changed to Phillips.[9][10][11]

Phillips was raised in Texas. He graduated from Flour Bluff High School in Corpus Christi in 1980 and from the University of Texas at Arlington with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Drama.[12]

Career

[edit]

1980s

[edit]

The first low-budget film in which he starred was called Trespasses. Phillips's big break came with the starring role in La Bamba (1987) in which he played early rocker Ritchie Valens. Prior to his cinematic breakthrough, he starred in the Miami Vice episode "Red Tape" (March 13, 1987), portraying detective Bobby Diaz.

In 1988, Phillips co-starred with Edward James Olmos in the inner-city high school drama Stand and Deliver, in a role for which he was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor – Motion Picture.[13] He won the Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Male.[14] He plays Angel David Guzman, a cholo gangster who is inspired by his math teacher, Jaime Escalante, to excel at calculus. Working to master the subject, he develops a friendship with his teacher. Stand and Deliver was filmed before La Bamba, but it was released a year later.

The commander works from Earth to bring the crew home, often coming into conflict with the shipborne command characters.

2010s

[edit]

Phillips hosted the weekly series An Officer and a Movie (2011-2013)on The Military Channel. This series features various theatrical World War II dramas, with discussion breaks during the film in which Phillips interviews members of the US military and intelligence communities about details of the events that inspired each film.
