Hey, y’all Erica here. No, I didn’t watch the Tonys Sunday night. I’d been waiting for weeks to watch Lou Diamond Phillips portray serial killer Richard Ramirez in “The Night Stalker,’ which showed on Lifetime Movie Network of all places.
Phillips did some mighty fine acting. I mean I forgot it was him. Co-star Bellamy Young was equally as good, and the dynamic between them was everything you’d want it to be.
I’ll stop here because *spoilers*, but YOU SHOULD WATCH.
