articles in computer graphics. He co-directed the groundbreaking short “Tony de Peltrie,” the world’s first CGI human with emotions. It closed SIGGRAPH’85, the most prestigious computer animation festival in the world. Time called it a “...breakthrough. A digitized character with whom a human audience can identify.” John Lasseter, the creative force behind Pixar, called it a “landmark piece.”
As a writer, Philippe co-wrote the critically-acclaimed CGI IMAX 3D film “Adventures in Animation” aka “The Boxer.”
As an actor, Philippe has appeared in over 50 films and TV shows, including “Iron Man 2,” “Mad Men,” “Entourage,” “E.R.,” “The Shield,” “Alias,” “Rush Hour 3,” “Contact,” and “Godzilla.” He guest starred in the first episode of “The Sopranos” final season. Recently, you’ve seen him opposite Alan Rickman in “Bottle Shock.”
As a landscape designer, Philippe created “The Forest of Mirrors,” one of the most unique gardens in the world. Built in a house once owned by Buster Keaton, it features over 50 giant hidden mirrors, but one only sees what’s inside the mirrors. The illusion is mesmerizing.
