Ross Philips

Actor Ross Philips advanced quickly from guest performer on television to a recurring character on two well-liked primetime series: "Hart of Dixie" (The CW 2011-15) and "Enlisted" (Fox 2014-14). The Stowe, Vermont native fell in love with acting at a young age and pursued it as a profession after training at Carnegie Mellon. Upon his arrival in Los Angeles, Philips' youthful charm and ease with comic material earned him guest spots on sitcoms, which led to his recurring role as a small-town local on "Hart of Dixie." The Southern-set comedy-drama developed a faithful following which cited Philips' character as one of its favorites on the show, which helped the actor land a second recurring role on the military sitcom "Enlisted." Philips' rapid rise from obscurity to regular work on the small screen seemed to indicate that his career was bound for bigger projects in the near future.
