David J. Phillips hails from the land of Canada, where he started his adult life as a 9th grade math and geography teacher in his hometown of Brampton Ontario, the back-up option for his entertainment career. Luckily, that only lasted a short while before he was cast as the host of the popular Canadian kid’s video game show, Video and Arcade Top Ten. From there, he was accepted into the acting company at The Stratford Festival, and did Shakespeare and classical plays for three years. In 2009, he nabbed the part of Dagen in the Canadian film Shark City. And in 2010, he started his career as a producer. His first three films were L!fe Happens (2011) with Kate Bosworth and Rachel Bilson, the Christmas movie A Holiday Heist (2011) with Lacey Chabert that still airs every holiday season, and Boy Toy (2011) starring Morgan Fairchild. You can also see David in this last flick; he often shows up in uncredited or small roles in the films he produces. In fact, his role as the bachelor in Amateur Night (2016) is where you can see him spinning naked in a chair, his bare bottom getting spanked every time he rotates, creating a cherry bloom upon each cheek. He also co-produced the movie, so don’t feel bad for him; he created his own fate. He also helped create the thriller Hot Seat(2022) with Mel Gibson and Shannen Doherty, for which he served as executive producer, as well as the comedy Dear Elizabeth (2023) with Elisha Cuthbert and Tony Hale, where he was producer. See? You really don’t need all that math…
