Acting gives me a chance to be someone l wouldn't normally be, to have experiences l wouldn't ordinarily have. An outstanding role is not necessarily a big part, he said. I look at large and small parts in the same lightg it is someone l have to become. Phillips had participated in over 20 shows including the school productions of When Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown and The Drnnknrd. Phillips also used his acting skills other places besides the theatre. He portrayed the Nutcracker Prince in Ballet Arkansas' production of The Nutcracker Sulte. Phillips planned to continue his stage career and become a successful actor. You can't measure success in the theatre by making money, he said.
