Phillip Ray Guevara is a classically trained actor from San Antonio, TX. He holds a B.F.A. in Acting from Texas State University, and an M.F.A. in Acting from The University of Washington. During his time at T.S.U., Phillip studied abroad with The Royal Shakespeare Company, in conjunction with The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust in Stratford-Upon-Avon, England. Classical text remains a stalwart passion of his, and he has taught multiple classes on Shakespeare's works. Some of Phillip's favorite stage works include: By the Way, Meet Vera Stark (University of Washington), The Hombres (Artist's Repertory Theatre), Julius Caesar (Titan Theatre Company), Native Gardens (Intiman Theatre), and Much Ado About Nothing (Illinois Shakespeare Festival).

Phillip can also been seen on screen in several independent projects. Most notably, Phillip played a principal role in Somebody I Used To Know with Alison Brie and others, which is now streaming on Amazon Prime! He has also appeared in ads for companies such Amazon, Microsoft, Starbucks, Brooks Running, Altra Running, AutoNation, WA Trust Bank, and more!

I'm currently based out of Portland, OR. I work a lot in Portland and Seattle doing mostly commercials and industrials but I'm making an effort to do more film work (who isn't, am I right?). If you have a project you're excited about, let's chat!

Aside from that, I am an Adjunct Faculty member at The Actors Conservatory*, I run my own private coaching sessions, AND I'm raising a family with my wife and two wonderful children. It totally makes sense I get cast as "Young Dad" a lot. It's what I do.

I was invited back this year after a successful first time visit last year during the Oregon Thespians Festival: the largest gathering of high school theatre students in the state, which convenes in Salem, OR every year to compete, celebrate, as well as share resources from the community both at a regional, and national level!
‍
This year's students were so ambitious and receptive to my sessions. I taught Intro to Commercial Acting and The Business of Acting. They asked great questions and represented themselves and their schools very well.

Thank you everyone at OTF for another wonderful time with the next generation of theatre makers!
