Veteran actor Lou Diamond Phillips (La Bamba, Young Guns) has revealed to Entertainment Weekly that he’s got behind the camera to direct an episode of the upcoming sixth season of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D..
“I got the call when I was directing Fear of the Walking Dead down in Austin: ‘Would you direct an episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.?’ ‘Yeah, done,’” said Phillips. “Instant answer, because of the world, because it’s Marvel. It’s big. It’s comic-book stuff. It’s action. It’s mythology. It’s science-fiction. It’s all of that rolled into one. And of course my old friend Ming-Na Wen was on it. That’s crazy, that’s wonderful!”
In addition to Fear the Walking Dead, Phillips recently directed an episode of Longmire, while his past credits include The Outer Limits, The Twilight Zone and the feature films Dangerous Touch and Sioux City.
