You're my Hero, Matt Bushell!

Did you know that Matt Bushell has a Heroes wiki page?  Yeah, it's kind of a slow day at the Phil Phansite. 

Cut us some slack! This stalking business works easier when you can actually *find* online information about the celebrity. Matt, why aren't you tweeting us yet?!

Check This Shit Out...Newton and Phil Together Again!!!

So our favorite Phil "Guys, I Love You Both But We Have A Plane To Catch" Dwyer and Mike "How You Likin' The Rain, Arizona" Newton are starring in a movie together that is currently in post production and will be released in 2010. Here's the official summary:

In Las Vegas, a city where most men lose their last hope, Dean arrives to discover redemption. Strung out behind him are a series of half-baked endeavors and failed relationships. He has turned his back on everything from the military to Wall Street. Now, in the dingy hotels and bars of Vegas he begins to build a life that, for the first time, he doesn't want to walk out on. He develops unlikely friendships as he builds a raggedly endearing team of "card counters". These men are not characterized by their "genius" or undeniable "con-man" potential, rather they are loyal and hard-working...blue-collar workers with a street-smart eye for detail. This is not the Vegas of penthouse suites and high-rollers, this is the unrefined glamor of every man's Sin City. The story is uniquely told by the normally faceless people behind the scenes: the bartenders, strippers, and hustlers who bond together trying to live the dream in a rough town called Las Vegas.

Sounds like a fucking winner of a movie to me! I may be more excited for this than I am for Remember Me. Ok, maybe not. Sorry Matt. But it's coming in third right behind JawPornfest 2010 (that's what I've renamed Remember Me) and Eclipse.

According to some super secret inside sources, the first trailer will be out in December and you can join the Rough Hustle facebook page here. I started to search through the 435 fans (Seriously...I was number 435! Woot!) of the movie to see if Matt has a facebook page, but gave up after about 30 seconds. Big prize to the first person who can let us know for sure (I'm for serious. I have extra copies of The Precious and I will send you one if you find me Matt's facebook page).

Newton's first line: "This is not my first rodeo, partner." Can't go wrong with that. You can also find out more about the movie at its imdb page, including the inside scoop on what looks to be a fucktastic soundtrack. ha. It's up 27% in popularity this week.

Here's a video of our two favorite humans together on the set. Prepare yourself for squees of epic proportions.



Of course we will keep you up to date on all the latest Rough Hustle news. I'm wondering when the premiere is, because I really, really think that RSM and I need to go.

Phantastic Phil / Marvelous Matt

RSM:  Hello class!
Followers:  Hello, Miss Swiss.
RSM:  Today's lesson is about the letters "P" and "H"


Howdy kids!  This is RSM (Rob's Swiss Miss) and I'm Meg's partner in crime on this Phansite.  Our goal is to lovingly place Matt Bushell onto the pedestal that he so rightly deserves. 

It's been brought to our attention that the twi-love has not been extended to the entire cast of Twilight. For shame! We twi-hards have more than enough love to go around...so it's time to embrace:

(played by actor Matt David Bushell)
(DOB 1/8/1974; Hometown - Framingham, MA)


Hereinafter referred to as Phantastic Phil, Marvelous Matt and/or Phatt.







[Time for Phatt to schlep Renee down to Florida in Twilight - 2008]




[Marvelous Matt playing Pike in Dark Blue "Venice Kings" - 2009]




[Bones - Season 4 - "The Salt in the Wounds" - Matt Bushell as a volleyball coach]





[Matt Bushell as Hobart in Mad Men - 2009]


[Matt Bushell as Curly in Leatherheads - 2008]

 
Also seen in all this stuff, but I cannot for the life of me find pics or much info online:
  • CSI: Miami "Rock and a Hard Place" - 2008 (Dan Kirkland)
  • Shelter - 2008 (Alan)
  • Notes from the Underbelly - 2008 (Cast Member)
  • The List - 2008 (Cast Member)
  • Criminal Minds "Scared to Death" - 2007 (Bill Calvert)
  • CSI: New York "Rain" - 2004 (Marvin Hummel)
  • Dark Reel (Bandana Man)
  • Headhunter (Scott)
You do all realize we owe quite a bit of gratitude to Mr. Dwyer, right? If not for him bedding down Renee and needing to travel for his minor league baseball career Bella would have never gone to Forks. Never met McSparklyPants. Never brought us the hawtness that is The Cullens. Never give me a reason so say *beefcake sandwiches* incessantly. NEVER LET US HAVE THIS FABULOUS ONLINE ALTER-REALITY!
  
Yeah, so needless to say, once Meg and I successfully track Phantastic Phil down via Twitter, agent, manager (hell - even the phone book or 411 at this point) we expect you all to serve up the appropriate amount of twi-love. He deserves it, dammit!

Welcome to Phantastic Phil's Phansite!

Phil is the hands down the best secondary character in Twilight. Think about it: If it were not for Phil, Bella would have never moved to Forks, never met Edward, and Twilight would not have happened. And we would all be died. (Side note: I am watching Twilight, natch, and the scene where Bella describes to Edward why she moves to Forks is on right now. Truth. It's a sign).



So who's the man behind the Phil? Well, none other than Matt Bushell. He has starred (or has been in) such things as: Mad Men, Bones, Raising the Bar (as the Third Fireman Witness), CSI Miami (2 episodes!), Heroes (A Henchman) and that movie Leatherheads with George Clooney and Jim from The Office.

So you can see that he has an upstanding catalog of work. If you'd like the full listing, check out his imdb page. We have yet to be able to find an address to send him Phan Mail to, although *someone* may have found his home address and phone number in the white pages and *someone* may have tried to call him, but the number *may* have been disconnected. We're working on it, though.

Three Matt Bushell campaigns that need your support:

1. Get Matt on Twitter! #MattBushell
2. Make sure that Matt's role as Phil is renewed for Breaking Dawn.
3. Get Matt cast as Alcide on True Blood (this is FireCrotch's pet project and we support her whole heartedly!).

Ok. That's all for now. Make sure to check back often as we ARE your number one site for breaking Matt Bushell news!
