Just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?

It's got a nice sound.

You've got to say all three, you know.

Or you can go like LDP.

Where does Diamond come from?

I was actually named after Gunnery Sergeant Lou Ellen Diamond in World War II.

Yeah, he was a kind of Marines Marine, Audie Murphy of the Pacific Theater.

And my dad, Gerald Upchurch, was in the Navy and read a biography on the man, liked the name.

My paternal grandmother, her name was Luella, so I guess he was partial to Lou.

And so he named me Lou Diamond.

And then my biological father passed, and my mother remarried George Phillips.

Hence the Phillips.

So all of it is actually legit and authentic.

How old were you when your biological dad passed?

Like less than a year old, yeah.

Oh, that young?

Yeah, it was quick.

So he was really young.

Yeah, he was young.

How did he pass?
