Biography

Philip's professional journey commenced as a street performer, showcasing his remarkable skills as a silent clown and juggler in the vibrant city of New York, where he was born and raised. Initially, his passion was to entertain crowds on the streets, but his trajectory took a dramatic turn when he landed a pivotal role as Woody Allen's assassin in the critically acclaimed film, Stardust Memories. This significant break paved the way for his subsequent appearances on the big screen, including the role of Salieri's Servant in Milos Forman's Academy Award-winning masterpiece, Amadeus, as well as a notable part in Forman's biographical drama, Man on the Moon, and Fritz in James Ivory's offbeat comedy, Slaves of NY.

Notable among his extensive body of work is his stint in Prague, where he took on the captivating role of The Guild Agent in the mini-series adaptation of Frank Herbert's revered science fiction novel, Dune. His impressive acting prowess was also showcased in the historical action film, A Knight's Tale, where he brought to life a memorable character. Furthermore, he has had the opportunity to work on an international scale, appearing in the French production of Napoleon, playing the intriguing character of Cipriani.

In recent years, he has been seen in a variety of projects, including the heartwarming holiday film, A Boy Called Christmas, and the poignant drama, White Bird. Additionally, he has appeared in S. Africa, a film that allowed him to tap into his darker side, as he portrayed the complex and unsettling character of Cole, a psycho killer, in the thriller, Supernova.

Philip's impressive professional portfolio extends far beyond his notable contributions to the world of cinema, as he has also established himself as a talented television performer, boasting an impressive array of credits that include the critically acclaimed medical drama ER, the popular crime-solving procedural NCIS, the thought-provoking family drama Judging Amy, and the provocative and often controversial comedy-drama Californication.

Currently, Philip calls the vibrant and culturally rich city of Warsaw, Poland his home, where he continues to hone his craft, appearing in a diverse range of films and television shows that showcase his impressive versatility as a performer.

Notable among his extensive list of credits in Warsaw is the lead role of Jack in the feature film "HEL", a performance that showcased his impressive range and versatility as an actor. He has also delivered standout performances in other notable films, including "Diversion End" where he played the complex and intriguing character of Wrona, and "The Coldest Game" where he brought to life the character of Bronson with depth and nuance. Furthermore, his extensive filmography also includes a role in the thought-provoking "Ziaro Prawdy".

In addition to his work in film, he has also made a significant impact in the world of television, appearing in a number of critically acclaimed serials. One such example is the thought-provoking "Paradoks", a show that pushed the boundaries of storytelling and explored complex themes and ideas. He has also appeared in the action-packed "Baron 24", bringing a sense of excitement and energy to the screen. Lastly, his performance in "M Jak Milosc" was a testament to his ability to convey a sense of vulnerability and emotion, drawing the audience in and holding their attention throughout.
