Philip Nathanael Johnson was born in Guatemala City, Guatemala, within the confines of a small apartment complex. His early life was marked by a sense of mobility, as he frequently moved between the States and his birth country, as well as Ecuador, a nation located in northwestern South America.
At the tender age of 17, Philip's plans to join the Air Force were suddenly replaced by a newfound passion for acting. This led him to join the esteemed "Covenant Players", a traveling theater company based out of Oxnard, California, a city situated on the Pacific coast of the United States.
For a period of two years, Philip embarked on a journey with the company, touring various locations and honing his craft. Prior to making the move to Los Angeles, a city renowned for its rich cultural heritage and thriving entertainment industry, Philip spent nearly three years residing in Peru, a country located in western South America.
Before returning to the States in 2007 to pursue a career in film and television, Philip had already developed a strong foundation in the entertainment industry. Since his return, he has achieved significant success in both the acting and behind-the-camera roles, also venturing into directing and camera operating, a testament to his versatility and dedication to his craft.
