He worked on some of the earliest Mexican movies such as the silent film Santa (1931) where his work was considered expressionist.
He worked in more than 250 movies in Mexico and 150 in the United States including La mujer del puerto (1934), Aventuras de Robinson Crusoe (1952 with Luis Buñuel), La Red (1953 with Emilio Fernández).
His most well-known works include The Other One (1946), Desired (1951), En La Palma de Tu Mano (1952), and Untouched (1955).

He died on June 14, 1977, at the age of 76, due to CVST.
Phillips was born in Renfrew, Ontario.
In his youth, his family moved to Russia, but he returned to Canada because of his dislike with the czarist government.

After Christie Comedies went bankrupt, he was hired by Samuel Goldwyn while he attended evening classes.
