An alluring amalgam of Cherokee, English, and Filipino Chinese ancestry, Lou Diamond Phillips was born to a Filipina mother and a United States Navy officer at the Subic Bay U.S. Naval Station in Zambales, Philippines. The family later moved to Texas, where Lou was raised and acquired his Lone Star twang before graduating from the University of Texas at Arlington with a degree in Drama. After a few small parts, Lou’s first starring role was in the low-budget revenge thriller Trespasses (1986). The next year Lou appeared in an episode of Miami Vice and his career finally took off when he was cast as doomed rock and roll pioneer Ritchie Valens in the smash hit biopic La Bamba (1987). Now how about letting us see that La Mamba, Lou? In 1988, Lou appeared in another career-defining role when he co-starred with Edward James Olmos in the fact-based inner-city high school tearjerker Stand and Deliver. He earned a nomination for a Golden Globe Award for "Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture" for his portrayal of Angel “Web-head” Guzman, a bad ass gangster-turned-calculus whiz. Here’s a math problem for you, Lou. You plus Us equals sex squared! The sexy, soft-spoken actor finally made his nude debut, baring his butt during a steamy sex scene in Dangerous Touch (1993). Now that’s an ass that will have you touching yourself! Lou teased the slightest bit of skin in the films Shadow of the Wolf (1992) and Boulevard (1994) before he bust out his behind again while changing in a locker room in the comedy The Big Hit (1998). Lou’s biggest hit came in his penis-showing, butt-baring scene in the thriller El Cortez (2006). And proving that age hasn’t slowed him down, the talented actor shared a look at his posterior in the action flick Transparency (2010). Mr. Man would like to look for the diamond in that rough!
