He and I were at Yale at the same time. It's safe to say that none of us (and probably including Phil) knew how good he'd get as an actor. Voice Acting is the one type of acting where how you look is immaterial to the character you can play. And that gives guys like Phil with incredible range an opportunity to do amazing things we wouldn't have gotten considered for in a face role.
