Former Cast
Oddo - Show rocker and wild-man, Oddo was the most aggressive and antagonistic member of the Phile. In the past Oddo involved himself in music and videogaming, but more recently had taken up a heavy addiction to poker, both on-line and off-line. Oddo was the resident voice-actor for the radio program and would occasionally grace the show with an impersonated celebrity or stereotypical foreign accent. For a number of years, he had a regular schedule of recording raunchy and embarrassing monologues as the newscaster Ted Koppel. Oddo also tended to be the cast member to participate in radio bits, including dressing up in a Viking helmet and being lassoed by Jim Philips in the parking lot and stripping for Moira on her birthday. On the program Oddo tried not to chime in on political topics, as he preferred participating in the ribbing of other cast members, normally alongside Jack Bradshaw. Oddo was terminated on April 28, 2009, due to budget cuts by Clear Channel. However, on June 9, 2009, Oddo officially returned to WTKS as a member of The BS (Buckethead Show). He stated that he is "grateful for the time and experience on The Philips Phile but that chapter is over." The BS airs Monday through Friday from 11:00am to 3:00pm.

Famous quotes containing the word cast:
“Who first seduc’d them to that fowl revolt?
Th’ infernal Serpent; he it was, whose guile
Stird up with Envy and Revenge, deceiv’d
The Mother of Mankinde, what time his Pride
Had cast him out from Heav’n, with all his Host
Of Rebel Angels,”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“I say that male and female are cast in the same mold; except for education and habits, the difference is not great.”
