Philip Holmes embarked his life's journey on December 20th, 1976, in the vibrant city of Newcastle Upon Tyne, a place where his earliest memories were forged. However, his formative years took a turn when he was just a few short months old, as his family relocated to the picturesque town of Penrith, nestled in the heart of Cumbria.
Interestingly, Philip's cousin, Gary Gilchrist, also followed in his footsteps and pursued a career in the acting world, with notable roles in films such as the critically acclaimed "Rob Roy", the epic "Gladiator", and the iconic "Chariots of Fire".
Fast-forward to the present day, Philip has traded in his acting aspirations for a more practical and stable profession, having qualified as a skilled electrician. He now resides back in the North-East of England, where he continues to thrive in his chosen field.
