Biography

Simon Phillips is a renowned British actor, widely recognized for his captivating performances in various notable projects, including the Netflix series FUBAR alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger and The Witcher Season 3.

Notably, Phillips has received critical acclaim for his unsettling portrayal of Santa Claus in the Christmas horror features Once Upon A Time At Christmas and The Nights Before Christmas, earning him prestigious awards for his chilling performances.

His feature film, Butchers, garnered widespread praise from The Guardian Newspaper, with the publication stating, "It's Phillips' performance that keeps the film's pulse going. His Owen is exhilarating, unpredictable, alternating between moments of meticulous villainy and sheer lunacy - one moment he will be refitting a spooky music box while eyeing his oblivious prey, next he will be whacking his victim bloodily, channeling a kind of biblical righteousness that makes him slippery, fascinating, and, most importantly, terrifying to watch."

Throughout his illustrious career, Phillips has had the privilege of sharing the screen with a diverse range of talented actors, including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Mark Hamill, Robert Englund, Rutger Hauer, Richard E. Grant, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, John Malkovich, and Mel Gibson.
