Star Trek, Seinfeld, and Wing Chun: A Holiday Sit-Down with Phil Morris | The Clubhouse Podcast

It’s the holidays, but The Clubhouse doesn’t leave you empty-handed. Rob heads back to the Dallas Comic Show for a special Christmas episode featuring one of the most fascinating resumes in Hollywood—actor and voice-acting legend Phil Morris. With more than 200 IMDb credits, Phil shares incredible stories from a career that spans Mission: Impossible, Star Trek (yes, all of it), Seinfeld, Batman, Doom Patrol, Smallville, Love, Death & Robots, Fire Country, Disney animation, and beyond. Along the way, he dives into studying Wing Chun under Bruce Lee’s lineage, what it really takes to be a voice actor, why humility matters more than talent, and how manifesting your next role might actually work. This is a deep, candid, funny, and wildly nerdy conversation—perfect for the holidays and required listening for fans of film, TV, animation, and the craft of acting. Kick back, relax, and enjoy this extended Clubhouse Q&A with Phil Morris from Dallas Comic Show.  The Clubhouse christmas ⏱️ Chapters 00:00:00 - Holiday Welcome & A Special Clubhouse Q&A 00:00:58 - Introducing Phil Morris at Dallas Comic Show 00:02:17 - Working with His Father on Mission: Impossible 00:04:07 - Peter Graves, Tennis Matches & “Protegé” Stories 00:05:12 - Wing Chun, Bruce Lee, and a 35-Year Martial Arts Journey 00:07:17 - How Martial Arts Shape Acting and Discipline 00:08:47 - Seinfeld, Jackie Chiles, and Channeling Johnny Cochran 00:11:04 - Star Trek: From Childhood Roles to DS9 and Voyager 00:12:28 - Doom Patrol, Smallville, Scooby-Doo & Geek Credentials 00:14:31 - Voice Acting vs On-Camera Acting Explained 00:16:42 - Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles & Missed Potential 00:18:36 - Vandal Savage, Zod, Batman & DC Animation 00:20:06 - Advice for Aspiring Actors & Voice Performers 00:23:15 - Why Acting Is Not a Hobby 00:25:24 - Larry David, Curb, and Behind-the-Scenes Seinfeld Stories 00:28:25 - Marvel, DC, Superheroes & Childhood Influences 00:31:00 - Fire Country, Character-First Acting & Longevity 00:33:12 - Bucket List Collaborations & Manifestation 00:34:48 - Eddie Murphy, Disney, and Being Mushu Before Mushu 00:37:22 - Hard Truths About the Business & Staying Power 00:38:22 - Where to Find Phil Morris & Closing Thoughts IG: https://www.instagram.com/theclubhousepodcast/ X: https://x.com/CLUBHOUSEShow TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@clubhouseshow FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheClubhousePodcast Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfw  Instagram: sunsetloungedfw Tiktok: sunsetloungedfw X: SunsetLoungeDFW FB: Sunset Lounge DFW
