About this listen

It’s the holidays, but The Clubhouse doesn’t leave you empty-handed. Rob heads back to the Dallas Comic Show for a special Christmas episode featuring one of the most fascinating resumes in Hollywood—actor and voice-acting legend Phil Morris.

With more than 200 IMDb credits, Phil shares incredible stories from a career that spans Mission: Impossible, Star Trek (yes, all of it), Seinfeld, Batman, Doom Patrol, Smallville, Love, Death & Robots, Fire Country, Disney animation, and beyond. Along the way, he dives into studying Wing Chun under Bruce Lee’s lineage, what it really takes to be a voice actor, why humility matters more than talent, and how manifesting your next role might actually work.

This is a deep, candid, funny, and wildly nerdy conversation—perfect for the holidays and required listening for fans of film, TV, animation, and the craft of acting.

Kick back, relax, and enjoy this extended Clubhouse Q&A with Phil Morris from Dallas Comic Show.
