One thing that jumped out at me was in his listed of groups and associations he belongs to he listed SAG which I recognized as the screen actors guild. So I looked him up in the IMDB just to see if it was true, and sure enough he is listed as being on Survivor as himself, no surprise there, BUT he was also listed as a grip in the 1990 movie Soultaker
From Wikipedia the definition of a grip In the U.S. and Canada, grips are lighting and rigging technicians in the film and video industries. They make up their own department on a film set and are directed by a key grip. Grips have two main functions. The first is to work closely with the camera department to provide camera support, especially if the camera is mounted to a dolly, crane, or in an unusual position, such as the top of a ladder. Some grips may specialize in operating camera dollies or camera cranes. The second main function of grips is to work closely with the electrical department to create lighting set-ups necessary for a shot under the direction of the Director of Photography.
And here is an article on how to become a grip which sounds like it takes some time to be good enough to be hired on a movie set, one would think that Phillip would have had to have had previous work experience.
The film was credited to have finished filming in July 1989, it was a very low budget film roughly $242,000 so not sure how to estimate the filming time. But 1989 was listed on Linkedin as the last year that Phillip was working as a special agent. Seems real odd to me that he would moonlight on a movie set while being a special agent.
I also found it odd that he has 2 completely different companies that he was working for during the same 4 year period from 1990-1994 however further research yields that one company merged with the other in 1992, so why list it twice?
