Who Played Philip in The Philanthropist

Philip is a role in The Philanthropist, a play that opened Broadway in 2009.

Two-time Tony Award® winner Matthew Broderick (The Producers) stars in this biting comedy that turns Molieré's The Misanthrope on its cynical ear. Set at an elite British university, The Philanthropist is about nice-guy professor Philip (Broderick), who – in refusing to succumb to his colleagues' excessively critical ways – winds up destroying his own credibility in the twisted world of academia...and in the bedroom!

3 actors have played Philip in The Philanthropist.
