He was a regular cast member along with Laraine Newman of SNL fame, in a interstitial program called "The Dr. Pepper Canned Film Festival" where he got his AFTRA card. Later that year he booked his first network role on "The Cosby Show". During the early 2000's, Phil did the bi-coastal stint between NYC and L.A. performing stand up and and comedy improv with the group "Cold Tofu". Phil got off the road and signed with the New York-based About Artists Agency and has recently appeared on "Marvel's The Defenders", "House of Cards", and "Kevin Can Wait".
