Phillip Lewitski
from Nyota Issue 20
Phillip Lewitski knew he wanted to be an actor after participating in a theatre production as a kid. Now he can be seen on the small screen in “Utopia Falls”, a Hulu show about a group of teens living in a future colony who find a forbidden archive of historical, cultural, and musical relics and use the power of music to create change. Lewitski comes to life on screen playing the calm-natured Apollo who not only discovers the truth about his colony but discovers things about himself along the way.
What drew you to “Utopia Falls”?
Many things drew me to “Utopia Falls”, but a major one was the character I was going out for. Apollo felt very close to me and there was just this indescribable deep-rooted knowing that I had to explore him a certain way. The show’s concept as a whole was also unlike anything I had ever seen before which was very intriguing. They were pretty general when speaking about the show before we signed contracts and got cast, but we did know one thing: they wanted to represent different cultures and dive deep into their pasts and what that looked like. This was especially important as my ancestors and family history is something I hold very dear to me.
