Though '90s kids rejoiced when the hit show 'Phil of the Future' was added to Disney+, it wasn't quite enough. After enjoying the show's two seasons starting back in 2004, the tweens of yesteryear wondered, whatever happened to Phil himself?
The lead character was, of course, Phil Diffy, who was a high school kid from the future. Surprisingly, the shortlived show earned a few awards, and it made memories for Disney teens and tweens of the era.
But what happened to Phil, and, come to think of it, the rest of the cast?
Viewers of the show might remember that Phil's on-screen girlfriend was a girl named Keely, played by Alyson Michalka. They weren't the most iconic Disney couple, but fans of the show haven't forgotten them. Aly Michalka may not have made headlines much in the past decade, but she's still active in both music and acting.
As for Phil, he was portrayed by Ricky Ullman, whose real name is Raviv Ullman. Ricky is Israeli-American and rose to fame from the theater stage alongside Jesse McCartney. According to Ullman's IMDb page, his first film appearance was in a 1998 movie called 'Crossfire,' but his next role was portraying Christopher Knight as Peter Brady in 'Growing Up Brady' in 2000.
From there, Ullman went on to appear in a few TV movies and series, until he got his big break as Phil Diffy. So what happened next?
Ricky didn't quite disappear from Disney. In fact, his next few projects -- appearances on shows like 'House' and 'Cold Case' -- were interspersed with Disney projects like 'Phineas and Ferb' (he voiced a character just like many Disney A-listers). Then there was another TV series, called 'Rita Rocks,' and a few other appearances on TV series and in films.
While he hasn't landed a long-term series gig in about a decade, Ullman hasn't left Hollywood. He was in a 2018 series and acted in a yet-to-be-released film called 'Spring Break '83' most recently. That film features actors like Erik Estrada, Alan Ritchson, and Joe Pantoliano, but has been delayed for ages.
The 35-year-old actor spends the most time on stage, though, and has also released some music over the years. He even helped form a band with Zoë Kravitz, but he didn't stick around for Lolawolf's first record release.
Ullman has other projects in progress, too, but the one place fans can keep with him is on Instagram. There, Ullman goes by the name Raviv and shares a glimpse into his life today.
All the teenage and tween girls who loved Phil in the early 2000s probably still love him today (at least, judging by the comments on his Instagram), but the actor seems to only have eyes for his leading lady, Julia Pott.
Unfortunately for Phil's fans, there's no room in his time machine for them!
