Lou Diamond Phillips on SGU, La Bamba and Wolf Lake

Stargate Universe has come with it's fair share of mind-stretching casting choices, from the man who was Begbie in Trainspotting to the man who was Richie Valens in La Bamba, there's no shortage of big screen firepower, or small screen 'wow - did NOT see that coming'.

We were lucky enough to speak with Lou Diamond Phillips (or LDP, as he's known on the Vancouver set of SGU) on Skype, who was more than happy to share his thoughts (and a few impersonations) on the show, his career and the fun he and the cast have making SCI FI's new hit show.

Awesome to see you in the SG traffic again.

I was in 8th grade when 9/11 happened, and my family and I couldn't watch the reruns of watching those towers fall again and again after two days. I wish I would have been able to watch Wolf Lake, because it would have been a wonderful escape from the reality of the time. I Love LDP.

Thanks for sharing this with us!

LDP comes across as such a nice and down-to-earth kind of guy. Its a joy for me to see such a nice guy and great actor have a role in a brilliant show like SGU. Hopefully...Season 2...more from LDP.
