Of the entire cast of Stargate Universe, perhaps no cast member has more long-term name and face recognition then actor Lou Diamond Phillips. Phillips, who portrays “Colonel David Telford” on the series, has maintained a major presence in the Hollywood industry for over 25 years after shooting to stardom with a string of theatrical blockbusters in the late 1980′s. It’s a presence he continues to finesse and tinker with now, even as he is finishing up work on production of the last of the episodes for Season Two of SGU.
GateWorld caught up with Phillips over the phone earlier this month while the actor was enjoying some downtime with his family, and he was gracious enough to chat extendedly about his career — both past and present. In our discussion, he discusses his big break, his most well-known movies, both seasons of SGU, what makes Telford tick, the love of a card game, and much more!
GateWorld’s interview with Lou Diamond Phillips runs almost 40 minutes and is available in audio for your easy listening. It is also transcribed [at link].
