Character Profile

Phill Collins

Accidental Hero. Dedicated Golfer.

Phill Collins is a recently divorced paralegal whose one reliable joy is golf, and even there he plays it safe: bogey beats triple. A complimentary vacation turns into something far bigger than he signed up for. Technically, he did sign up for it.

Creating Phill

Phill started as a simple idea: an ordinary guy in an extraordinary situation. I wanted someone relatable: flawed, funny, and just stubborn enough to keep going when things get ridiculous.

He’s the guy who reads the fine print at work and skips it on vacation, the golfer who lays up instead of going for the green, and the one person at the presentation who won’t buy anything. The flamingo shirt came early and never left. Tell me what you want to see next: Phill on the course, Phill at the presentation, or Phill meeting the concierge.
