Graham Phillips

Birth Date: 14/04/1993

Graham David Phillips,

Princeton graduate and stage-trained American actor Graham Phillips built his reputation across Broadway and network television before making a striking video game debut in 2023. Best known for voicing Harry Osborn in Marvel's Spider-Man 2, playing Zach Florrick across 78 episodes of The Good Wife, and originating the lead role in Broadway's 13, Phillips is also a working filmmaker with two feature directorial credits.

Graham Phillips’s Breakthrough into Video Game Voice Acting

Long before stepping into a recording booth for Insomniac Games, Graham Phillips had already built a career that stretched across Broadway, network television, and independent film. His entry into voice acting came with one of the biggest PlayStation exclusives of 2023 – a debut that landed him squarely in front of millions of gaming fans worldwide.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and the Role of Harry Osborn

Insomniac Games made a deliberate casting choice when they moved toward a photo-realistic approach for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Scott Porter had voiced Harry Osborn in the original game through audio messages, but the expanded, central role in the sequel called for a younger actor who could anchor the performance both vocally and physically through motion capture. Graham Phillips got the call. His portrayal of Harry – a character whose arc drives much of the emotional weight of the game – drew on the same dramatic intensity he had refined over two decades in front of the camera. Harry’s transformation into the Venom symbiote host gave Phillips room to run the full emotional spectrum, from warmth and vulnerability to desperation and menace. The performance was widely noted as a strong video game debut from an actor not previously associated with the medium.

The Good Wife and a Career Built on Character Work

Television audiences first came to know Phillips through The Good Wife, where he played Zach Florrick across 78 episodes from 2009 to 2016. That long run on a CBS prestige drama – holding his own opposite Julianna Margulies and Chris Noth – gave him a foundation in sustained, layered character work that translates directly into the demands of voice and performance capture acting. Recurring roles on Riverdale as Nick St. Clair and on Netflix’s Atypical added further range to a screen resume that was already unusually broad for his age.

Stage Roots and the Princeton Years

Phillips’s performance instincts were shaped early. He took the lead role of Evan Goldman in the Broadway musical 13 in 2008, a production that also featured a then-unknown Ariana Grande. He later performed at the Metropolitan Opera and starred in The Little Prince at the New York City Opera. That classical stage training – combined with a degree in United States History from Princeton University, which he completed in 2017 – gives his approach to character a more considered, research-oriented edge than many actors bring to the booth.

Behind the Camera – Writing and Directing

Acting is only part of the picture with Phillips. He co-wrote and co-directed the short film The Mediator with his brother Parker while still at Princeton, winning a Best Short Film award. His feature directorial debut, The Bygone, arrived in 2019 – a neowestern he also wrote. He followed that with the Southern noir thriller Rumble Through the Dark in 2023, the same year Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 released. Few actors at 30 arrive at a major AAA game credit while simultaneously building a parallel career as a filmmaker, but that dual track defines where Phillips sits in the industry right now.
