Phillips began his on-screen acting career in 1999, with a role on the popular Australian soap opera Neighbours. His television career was later followed by roles in Child Star: The Shirley Temple Story, Blue Heelers, Something in the Air and The Saddle Club. In 2002, he made his feature film debut with a role in Warriors of Virtue: The Return to Tao and his next role as the lead in Australian Rules earned him a nomination for the Film Critics Circle of Australia's Best Actor award.
Phillips has since enjoyed a thriving film career, starring in Australian movies such as Take Away, One Perfect Day and Under the Radar. In 2005, hit horror film Wolf Creek introduced him to an international audience, helping to launch his US film career with roles in Snakes on a Plane and Redline. However, Phillips has not abandoned his Australian roots and is currently working on the small-budget drama West, in Sydney.
