Stunt Coordinator
Phil became a Stunt Coordinator in 2018 after spending 10 years as an Assistant Stunt Coordinator to a large number of established Stunt Coordinators.
In that time he learnt the many things that are required of a modern Coordinator. Not only how to do the stunts safely but breaking down scripts, doing stunt budgets and risk assessments.
He enjoys practical stunts and achieving the look in camera, and lives by the motto of his long time mentor Spike Cherrie - “ There is no such thing as problems, only solutions”.

Stunt Performer
As with most Australian Stunt Performers, Phil is an all round stuntman. He has worked across Films, TV series and TVCs as a Stunt Double, Stunt Performer and Stunt Driver in all types of stunt work.
His big breakout role was in 2006 as a lead Stunt Double on “Where The Wild Things Are”. This changed his career and he has been working consistently world wide ever since.
Phil’s background was a rural one growing up on properties in country NSW where he honed his skills. Vehicles have been a large part of his stunt career but he excelled in all other areas as a result of his natural athleticism.
