Phil Gault

Welsh-Irish baritone Phil Gault figures that most people don't read these biographies for a list of roles (available on his website), so suffice to say his repertoire includes Don Giovanni, the Count (Figaro), Dandini (La Cenerentola), as well as Carmina Burana, Bach cantatas, and song cycles like Dichterliebe and Chansons Gaillardes. Interesting TV jobs include hand-doubling for Tobias Menzies on Outlander, hurdling for a soft drink advert, pretending to be Sir Chris Hoy's thighs, and being chief henchman for Karen Dunbar in MI:High. He has also broadcast opera in Welsh with Opra Cymru of the title roles in the award-nominated "Barbwr Sefil" and "Macbeth." When not singing, he enjoys running, cycling, and swimming (he completed IronMan Wales in 2018 after leading the anthem at the start in a wetsuit). In spite of this, he likes people to buy him drinks, having read this in the late Terry Pratchett's biog, and thinking it's worth a shot...
