Phil Morris was born in Iowa, but raised in Southern California, with his two sisters, Iona and Linda. His mother Lee, was a beautiful singer/songwriter/mom, and his father, Greg Morris was known to audiences for his role as “Barney Collier”, the electronics wizard in the ground breaking suspense/drama, “Mission: Impossible”. Ironically, Phil was to take on the role of Barney’s son, Grant Collier in the remake, “The New Mission: Impossible”. It was a surreal dream come true for Phil, who had starred in “The Young and The Restless” prior to that, as another ground breaking character, “Tyrone Jackson”, who went undercover as a white man to break up the local syndicate, in fictitious Genoa City.

But it was the out of the box character of “Jackie Chiles”, in “Seinfeld”, that has brought Phil his greatest recognition to date. The brash, fast-talking lawyer, has struck a chord with the public, and continues to thrill a new generation of television viewers. Phil has had a long and varied career, with guest star roles on the shows “Knight Rider”, “Melrose Place” and “Girlfriends”, “Smallville” and “Blackish”. Phil has continued to guest in high-profile series such as, “#BlackAF”, “Bless This Mess” and “Angie Tribecca”. And starring roles in series from “The New Love Boat”, “Wanda at Large” and “Marble Head Manor” to “Love That Girl”. His current projects range from playing the manipulative genius father of Cyborg, Silas Stone, in the DC Universe superhero drama, “Doom Patrol” to the sports obsessed father in ABC/Freeform TV, “Same Time Next Christmas”. Current projects are: “Bosch: Legacy” and a hilarious campaign as the lawyer, Jackie Chiles, for the pretzel co. Snyder’s of Hanover, “pretzel pieces”. Seems the world just can’t get enough of that guy.

The movies, “Black Dynamite”, “Meet the Spartans”, and “Clay Pigeons” can also be added to Phil’s CV. The list of credits is an IMDB addicts dream. A new film, “The Ghosts of The Ozarks”, and the character of Matthew, is Phil’s most current dramatic outing on the big screen. A role and film that he is incredibly proud of. Voice over and MOCAP video game work has been a big part of Phil’s varied career path, with roles in, “Justice League: The New Frontier”, and “Justice League: Doom”, “The Secret Saturdays”, “Green Lantern”, “Spider-Man” and “The Legion of Super Heroes” to name a very few. Most recent is the HBO MAX series, “Young Justice”, where Phil voiced not only the nemesis of Superman; General Zod, but also his 16 year old son, Lor Zod. Phil had the amazing experience of voicing the first animated African-American character, in a Disney film as “Joshua Sweet”, for “Atlantis: The Lost Empire”. The recently released, “Star Wars: Squadrons” is a video game that Phil stars in as an iconic commander, in the SW universe. The complex, Lindon Javes. As a life-long comic book fan, Phil’s animated adventures, have been a thrill for him, every time he steps behind the mic. A devotee of Wing Chun Kung Fu, Phil credits his long time master, Hawkins Cheung, with any skill he might have developed in the more than 30 years he’s practiced this beautiful, yet deadly art. Acting continues to be a driving force, but the world of production is occupying much of Phil’s time, as well, with several projects that are in varying states of development.
