Having become a distinguished classical actor in his own country, Australia, Philip has worked in the UK in all forms of theatre from the RSC to the National, from Theatre in Education to the West End, television, film and musicals.

Philip now lives in England because of Trevor Nunn. Trevor auditioned him replete with crutches and a leg in plaster (Philip) for Les Misérables in Australia in 1987. He recalls Trevor taking his own jacket off and draping it over his shoulders to see what he would look like in the now famous Javert coat. “I guess that was the beginning of it all… wearing Trevor Nunn’s clothes meant I had to move to England to work with him again”.

Three English children later, Philip got the opportunity last year in South Pacific for which he won his third Olivier Award. Philip says “I know Trevor gets embarrassed when he is praised, extolled and lauded but for an actor there is no greater pleasure than his rehearsal room. It is safe and caring and loving and allows you to sing and praise, extol and laud in a way that has repercussions in everything you do and for each and every audience member who is lucky enough to see his work”.
