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:
“Parents do not give up their children to strangers lightly. They wait in uncertain anticipation for an expression of awareness and interest in their children that is as genuine as their own. They are subject to ambivalent feelings of trust and competitiveness toward a teacher their child loves and to feelings of resentment and anger when their child suffers at her hands. They place high hopes in their children and struggle with themselves to cope with their children’s failures.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
