Phillip was the fifth Wiggle of the group, before they had their iconic coloured skivvies. He wrote and provided the keys for most of the songs on the Wiggles' debut album. He is the only Wiggle to not appear in a video, except for the original music videos of Get Ready To Wiggle and Dorothy the Dinosaur. He has not made an appearance in any part of the Wiggles franchise since 1992. He was the very first member ever to leave the group. According to Phillip himself, he has no idea as to why he was kicked out from the group, though claims that he started to become uncomfortable performing with the Wiggles. Their spokesperson, Dianna O'Neill, claims that he submitted a letter of resignation because he wanted to continue composing classical music. He is also the only original Wiggle who has not appeared in a movie, video, TV series and not wear a specific coloured skivvy.
