Actor Simon Phillips talks about strippers fighting werewolves, spending a month in a HUSTLER Club and working with Arnold Schwarzenegger in the new Netflix series FUBAR.
Simon Phillips has long been an actor in good company. In the past decade-plus, he has worked with everyone from Bruce Willis to Wayne Newton to Mark Hamill, Robert Englund, Rutger Hauer, Richard E. Grant and even Jean-Claude Van Damme.
Phillips’ latest project sees him paired with Arnold Schwarzenegger in the Terminator star’s first ever TV show, the Netflix series FUBAR. HUSTLERMagazine.com caught up with Simon via Zoom to discuss his dream co-star, how he chooses his roles and what it was like to spend a month (a whole month!) in a HUSTLER Club surrounded by strippers and werewolves.
HUSTLERMagazine.com: Are you okay being interviewed by us?
Simon Phillips: Yes. Of course. As a matter of fact I have a good HUSTLER Magazine story.
Do tell.
I’ve worked for HUSTLER before. Back in London there is a strip club called Larry Flynt’s HUSTLER Club. I’m sure you are familiar with it. I filmed a whole movie in that HUSTLER Club called Strippers vs Werewolves with Freddie Krueger himself [actor Robert Englund]. We spent four weeks inside the HUSTLER Club in Croydon in South London making this movie about ten years ago. It’s not a movie I talk about very often because I’m a credible actor now. (Laughs.) The movie wasn’t pornographic in nature. Which was very upsetting to people, because the title was Strippers vs Werewolves and there were no naked women in it. Imagine the reviews that got.
