Ethan Phillips stars as Neelix, an alien never-before-encountered in Star Trek: Voyager, produced by Paramount Network Television for broadcast on UPN. When the Starship U.S.S. Voyager is caught up in a strange occurrence that takes it to the far reaches of the galaxy, the crew encounters Neelix, a charming yet scraggly scavenger who quickly worms his way onto the ship as its mess officer.
Born and raised on Long Island, Phillips grew up as the only boy of six children. He received a Jesuit education in New York, and attended Boston University, where he graduated with a degree in English Literature. He went on to study at Cornell University, eventually getting a Master of Fine Arts degree.
Phillips began his acting career in the theater, appearing in such Broadway and Off-Broadway productions as "My Favorite Year" at Lincoln Center, "Measure For Measure" at the Delacorte, "Lips Together, Teeth Apart" at the Lucille Lortel and "Modigliani" at The Astor Place, along with new productions for Playwrites Horizons Ensemble Studio Theater, Hudson Guild Theater, and others. He has also played leading roles for many of the regional theaters in the country.
While he may have "cut his acting teeth" while trodding the boards, Phillips is perhaps best known for his extensive television work. Audiences will most likely remember him from his five seasons as Pete Downey, the Governor's press aide on the hit television sitcom Benson. In addition, he had a recurring role in the nighttime drama Werewolf, and guest starred on numerous shows, including NYPD Blue, L.A. Law, Murphy Brown, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Law and Order and The Mommies.
Phillips is no stranger to feature films, either. He recently completed work on the new movie "Jeffrey," in which he plays a sexaholic attending a 12-step group meeting. In addition, Phillips can be seen in the movies "The Shadow," "Wagons East," "Man Without A Face," "Green Card," "Bloodhounds of Broadway," "Glory," "Lean On Me," and others. In addition to acting in stage, television and movie projects, Phillips is also a published and produced playwright. His original work, "Penguin Blues," was published by the Sam French company, and has been produced more than 150 times throughout the U.S. and Canada.
Phillips currently lives with his wife, fashion magazine stylist Patricia Cresswell, and their West Highland terrier, Frank, in Los Angeles. In his spare time he is a devoted back packer and rockclimber, and fancies himself an amateur ornothologist and botonist. He dreams of someday hiking thw Appalachian trail from end-to-end.
