Philip Cohen appears in The Hardy Boys book series by Franklin W. Dixon.
A close friend of Frank Hardy, Phil is very artistic and a genius when it comes to electronics, in the series he often helps out the Hardys when they need a video to be digitally restored or a computer system hacked into. Phil is also skilled at painting and is a great tennis player. In The Mysterious Caravan, book #54 in the original series, it is said that he holds the county tennis championship. Helping the Hardys, Phil has faced quite a bit of danger throughout the series, but no matter what happens, always has a good sense of humour.
Phil is tall, slender, and agile with wavy brown hair, glasses and dark eyes.
Also notable is that Phil is Jewish and along with fellow Hardy Boys character Tony Prito, was one of the first fictional non-WASP characters, to be portrayed as a normal, fully assimilated teenager.

Famous quotes containing the word cohen:
“The child to be concerned about is the one who is actively unhappy, [in school].... In the long run, a child’s emotional development has a far greater impact on his life than his school performance or the curriculum’s richness, so it is wise to do everything possible to change a situation in which a child is suffering excessively.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
