“Warrior” Lacrosse Movie: Interview With Actor Chris Cole, Sr. Middie Lacrosse Player From Foothill High School

Chris Cole, a Senior Middie from 2-Time Defending Southern Section CIF Champion Foothill High School (Santa Ana, CA), has lived every student-athlete’s dream by getting serious action in front of the camera on the set of “Warrior”, a lacrosse movie to be released later this year. Starring Kellan Lutz (90210), the movie is set in New York but filmed in Los Angeles County, near Magic Mountain. LaxBuzz asked Chris to share his experience:

LaxBuzz: “What was being on the set of “Warrior” like?

Chris:“I enjoyed being on the set, it was exciting. I had a great time with the cast and crew and especially enjoyed hanging out with Xander Ritz and Kyle Harrison. I also enjoyed seeing the movie making process. I played lacrosse all day which is what I love doing the most and got paid.  It doesn’t get much better than that.”

LaxBuzz: “What characters did you play and what were their roles?”

Chris:“My favorite role was being the lacrosse stunt double for #24 who’s name in the movie is Dupree. I also was #5 for Brierfield and played a student. In addition, I was #11 for the West Coast Cardinal team, #27 for the Sierra Team and an injured player on the side line. At the end of the movie I was #17 for Navy. I also was in some locker room and weight room scenes.”

LaxBuzz: What were your favorite scenes?

Chris: ”If I answered that it would give away the end of the movie.  I will give you my second favorite and that would be when Connor played by Kellan breaks the trophy case at school.  I also liked the scene where I run through the tunnel dressed as a player from Navy.”
