Philip McDonald(X)
- Actor
- Producer
Phil McDonald was born in Saginaw, MI to parents Brian, an electrical
engineer, and Janice, a teacher and later bank executive. The family
lived briefly in Königstein im Taunus, Hesse, Germany but eventually
returned to Michigan. Phil decided to pursue a career in medicine,
earning his bachelor's degree in biology at Wayne State University.
While living in downtown Detroit, he had the pleasure of witnessing a
revitalization made possible in part by the many production companies
which took advantage of the state's film incentive program. "Red Dawn,"
"LOL," and "Vamps" were just a few of the projects filmed outside his
apartment. In the rare moments between patient care and research, Phil
continues to seek out roles in this exciting industry. He graduated
from the Wayne State University School of Medicine in May 2013 and is
currently an Internal Medicine resident at the Detroit Medical Center.
He plans to later pursue a Fellowship in Infectious Diseases.
