PRODIGAL SON: Lou Diamond Phillips on Gil’s Paternal Relationship with the Team, ‘Complex’ History with Jessica

As PRODIGAL SON’s Bright (Tom Payne) embraces his calling as criminal profiler, his new team is still trying to get a handle on him and his unconventional methods.

Luckily for him, he has his boss, Gil (Lou Diamond Phillips), in his corner—at least most of the time. “He’s just like a dad with a bunch of kids,” Phillips jokes. “And you can’t say that any one of them is his favorite; he’s trying to be supportive of all of them.”

Phillips, whose recent television credits includes LONGMIRE and BLUE BLOODS, had previously turned down a number of cop boss roles in the past. “I don’t want to be that guy who’s always saying, ‘You’re a loose cannon, mister!'” he says of why he passed on similar title roles prior to this. “All of this stuff is so typical. [But] they perform a function in procedurals.”

Instead, in Gil, he found a man who is “paternal and protective, and yet is comfortable in his own skin”…and with a sense of humor.

But, of course, he may also have some secrets up his sleeve.

Phillips dives into the team’s at-times complicated dynamic, Gil’s “loaded” history with Jessica (Bellamy Young), whether fans might see a Gil-focused episode in the near future, and more…
