The Philips Phile - Former Cast

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:

    Forgetting: that is a divine capacity. And whoever aspires to the heights and wants to fly must cast off much that is heavy and make himself light—I call it a divine capacity for lightness.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    However, our fates at least are social. Our courses do not diverge; but as the web of destiny is woven it is fulled, and we are cast more and more into the centre. Men naturally, though feebly, seek this alliance, and their actions faintly foretell it.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
