LOU DIAMOND PHILLIPS Signing a Daybill Movie Poster for Renegades

Lou Diamond Phillips was a popular guest at the Hollywood Show in Feb 2018. He signed a number of photos for patrons and one Australian Daybill for Renegades, the film he starred in with Keifer Sutherland. Autographed daybills are quite scarce as the actors rarely see them. He said he had wonderful memories of his time in Australia where he starred in the stage production of The King and I. Lou is one of the few actors who is able to master an Australian accent which was very impressive!
