Phillip "Philly" Phil is one of the main characters in Class of 3000.

About the Character

Little is known about his heritage, but he is from Philadelphia and fairly new to Atlanta. He is known to be the brilliant one and the tallest of the group and the oldest at thirteen years old. He might have a crush on Kim Chin as seen in "Nothin' to it but to Do It". Though Li'l D and the other students do not fully understand Phil's many eccentricities, they are willing to accept him as one of their own. He plays bass guitar and the upright/double bass.
