Personal Quote:

Ten percent of the actors work and the rest are unemployed...I don't know why actors aren't half dead with ulcers. But for some reason they can bite the bullet. You can get so many rejections you learn to hold it in. See more »

Trivia:

In his series Tales of the 77th Bengal Lancers, the story of the British Cavalry unit, Phil's lead character was made Canadian instead of British because the New Jersey-born actor had difficulty perfecting an English accent. See more »
