Philip Forman
- Actor
Philip Forman was selected by Matthew Modine and Todd Field to
represent their co-directorial debut; in a short film entitled "When I
Was A Boy" (1993); to which Forman portrayed both the lead and
narrator. This obscure short film was showcased at both The Sundance
Film Festival and The Museum of Modern Art's New Directors/New Films
Series. The results were such, that Matthew Modine decided to Produce
and Direct another short film entitled "Smoking" (1994); again casting
Philip Forman as the lead. This collaboration marked the second
consecutive year in which their efforts would be showcased at The
Sundance Film Festival.
Philip Forman trained extensively under Stella Adler in NYC (1981-84); was selected by Sanford Meisner to be among the 16 charter students to train in The West Indies, at his island home in Bequia (1985); was also trained under Robert Lewis, co-founder of The Actor's Studio in NYC (1987). Paul Newman, during his tenure as President of The Actor's Studio, invited Forman to become a Working Observer (1988). In the summer of 1990, Forman concluded his training in London at Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA).
Forman's Screen Actor's Guild card lists him as being Philip Munro Forman; being that another actor by the name of Philip Forman had gained membership just 6 months earlier, in 1991.
