Centennial Casting review

“Vincent’s right-hand man, known only by the unfortunate nickname of Doo-Doo, Bill Phillips radiates an Ed Norton quality (the sewer worker on “The Honeymooners”). He inexplicably knows show business lingo and understands why actors list driving skills on their resumes (car chases)… a lovably tough-talking New Yorker, so sympathetic that the audience chooses to believe it… but keeping jokes so firmly in character is no small achievement.”

New York Times review of Centennial Casting

“As shop foreman and Vincent’s best friend Doo-Doo, loosey-goosey Bill Phillips, in both vocal cadence and mannerism, makes a most worthy doppelganger of Ed Norton (played by Art Carney on “The Honeymooners”).  His Italian film director is a hoot. Mr. Phillips originated the role of Doo-Doo when Penguin Rep debuted Centennial Casting 18 years ago.

A high-performing cast of actors who not only create sharply defined characters, but also interlock with each other to forge a jazz-tight ensemble… The actors’ suitability for the roles in which they’ve been cast is spot-on across the board."
