Todd Phillips Actor

Todd Phillips started his acting career after college. He is best known for writing and directing films, including Road Trip (2000), Old School (2003), Starsky & Hutch (2004), The Hangover Trilogy (2009, 2011, and 2013), Due Date (2010) and War Dogs (2016). For his work on the film Borat, he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. He appeared as one of the drivers in the first seasons of Taxicab Confessions on HBO. His first documentary film, of Hated: GG Allin and the Murder Junkies, centered the life and death of controversial punk rocker GG Allin, while as a junior at NYU and it went on to become one of the highest grossing student films at the time, even getting a limited theatrical release.

He co-directed with then-partner Andrew Gurland for Frat House, a second documentary about college fraternities; it premiered at the 1998 Sundance Film Festival and won the Grand Jury Prize for documentary features. It was produced by HBO, but never aired on its channel because many of the film’s participants claimed they were paid to re-enact their activities. It was never proven either way. He has produced a third film of Bittersweet Motel centered on the jam band Phish, covering its summer and fall 1997 tours, plus footage from their 1998 spring tour of Europe. It ends at The Great Went, a two-day festival held in upstate Maine which attracted 70,000 people. While at Sundance with Frat House, Phillips met director-producer Ivan Reitman who led Phillips into writing and directing his comedy films, Road Trip and Old School, for Reitman’s Montecito Picture Company.

He has also written and directed the 2004 film Starsky & Hutch starring Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson, as well as the 2006 film School for Scoundrels, starring Billy Bob Thornton and Jon Heder. In 2005, Details Magazine cited Judd Apatow, Adam McKay and Phillips as “The Frat Pack”. He worked on Borat (2006), but he resigned his position as a director in early 2005, due to creative differences. Nevertheless, he was nominated with Oscar for being the Best Adapted Screenplay for his role in fashioning the story.

After he established the Green Hat Films in 2008, he directed and produced The Hangover, that was made for a reported $35 million and went on to become the highest-grossing R-rated comedy in 2009. Its worldwide gross currently stands at $480 million on February 3, 2012. The film went on to win the Golden Globe for Best Picture (Musical or Comedy). It also won Best Comedy at the 2009 Broadcast Film Critics Awards. He took almost no up-front salary in exchange for a large share of the film’s profits, and has said that the movie’s enormous success makes it “my Star Wars”. His share in the film made Phillips around $50 million.

In 2010, he directed, produced and co-wrote the Due Date, which starred Robert Downey, Jr. and Zach Galifianakis, that was another R-rated comedy and another box office success. It grossed $211,780,324 worldwide. In the fall of 2010, production on The Hangover Part II began in Bangkok, Thailand that Phillips directed, produced and co-wrote. The film shot for 63 days and broke various records upon its release on May 26, 2011. With the film debuting at midnight with showings in 2,600 theaters, the film earned $10.4 million, breaking the record for the biggest midnight opening for an R-rated film. The Hangover Part II went on to accrue a launch day total of $31.6 million.

On friday he doubled the Hangover’s to launch the opening of ($16.7 million) the amount broke two further records; the highest-grossing opening day for a live-action comedy and the highest-grossing opening day for an R-rated comedy film, replacing Sex and the City ($26.7 million). After three days weekend he opened accumulated amount of $85,946,294 with an average of $23,923 per theater this was the highest grossing opening weekend for a comedy film, replacing The Simpsons Movie ($74 million).

Finally, the film’s worldwide gross of $581,464,305 beat the previous R-rated comedy record holder of the Hangover to become the third-biggest R-rated comedy film of all time. He released the Hangover Part III in 2013 which grossed over $300 million, which took the Hangover Trilogy’s in a total grossing of about $1.4 billion.  In 2016, following the successes of The Hangover Trilogy, Phillips directed, produced and co-wrote War Dogs, starring Jonah Hill and Miles Teller.. In August 2017 it was reported that he will direct, co-write and co-produce an original story movie set during the 1980s for DC Comics’s supervillain, The Joker.
