L.A. GUNS vocalist Phil Lewis' is the star of a new film, entitled, "Witchmaster General". The film was directed by Jim Haggerty ("I Dream of Dracula", "The Slasher").
Haggerty commented: "Growing up listening to L.A. GUNS and being a longtime fan of Phil's, it was so amazing to have the opportunity to work with him and have him be the star of my film," he said. "And what's really great is he's an amazing actor, a complete professional and a perfect gentleman. He was always kind, considerate, and dedicated to what we were doing. There was not a hint of ego he really was ready to go to any lengths to make the scenes work and nail everything exactly how I wanted it."
"Phil's performance was a joy to behold. It amazed us all that he really hasn't done very much acting before. I think every single actor and crew person on set had to ask me if he'd done this before because he was so good. Casting Phil as Dr. Gorgon is one of the best decisions I've ever made."
The film also features Sopranos actor Vic Martino. "The scenes with Phil and Vic are great," Haggerty says. "There's just these great moments of this real hard-boiled, sarcastic cop tangling with the wily, sneering evil witchdoctor. It really works Vic is probably doing the best work of his career and Phil is so on-target. It's really the right guys for the roles and they have a field day with it. I can't wait until this movie sees the light of day."
