- All Boomer Phillips ever wanted to be was a firefighter but after obtaining a degree in Mechanical Engineering and graduating the Texas A&M University Fire Academy, a shortage of firefighter jobs made him reconsider his dreams.
Boomer first stepped on a stand-up comedy stage in August of 2005. Within a year he was a finalist in three high profile comedy competitions: Yuk Yuks Toronto Laugh off, Yuk Yuks Ajax Laugh Off and the Hog town Comedy Festivals Ed Pollack Competition.
In 2006 his goal was to get off the comedy stage and transfer into TV/Film. Since then he's worked on over 60 commercials, has made over 200 television appearances and has had multiple roles in various feature films.
Recent credits include guest spots on Crave TVs hit comedy "Letterkenny", Hulu's "A Handmaids Tale" and FXs "The Strain".
