Lou Diamond Phillips Plays A Native American..


even though he's actually a Filipino. He managed to pull it off though. He did look really native in this movie.

The more I study it, the greater the puzzle becomes.

Lou is not a hundred percent Filipino and he does have Native American blood. Here's a quote about his parentage from Wikipedia:

His father was an American of Scottish-Irish and one-quarter Cherokee descent, and his mother, a native of Candelaria, Zambales, is of Filipino Spanish descent.


He has played Native Americans many times throughout his career.

He was a Native American and Mexican in the movie. All rather confusing.
