==Career==
===Early career (1990–1996)=== Phillippe's acting career began after being signed to Cathy Parker Management in Voorhees, New Jersey. Shortly after, he made an appearance in the ABC daytime drama ''One Life to Live''. His character, Billy Douglas, whom he played from 1992 to 1993, was the first gay teenager on a daytime soap opera.<ref name="EW Harris">{{cite magazine|last=Harris|first=Mark|title='One Life' Breaks One Taboo|url=https://ew.com/article/1992/06/26/one-life-live-breaks-taboo/|magazine=Entertainment Weekly|access-date=December 14, 2012|date=June 26, 1992|archive-date=August 25, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120825081854/http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,310941,00.html|url-status=live}}</ref> After leaving the show, Phillippe moved to Los Angeles, where he appeared in a number of small parts in various television series including ''Matlock'', ''Due South'', the TV miniseries ''The Secrets of Lake Success'', and movies, including the 1995 film ''Crimson Tide'' and the 1996 film ''White Squall''.
===Rise to prominence (1997–2001)=== He was cast in the 1997 horror film, ''I Know What You Did Last Summer''. The film was a success and led to Phillippe gaining wider renown and being cast in a few more high-profile films, including ''54'' and ''Playing by Heart'' in 1998. In 1999, he starred in ''Cruel Intentions'', a modern retelling of the Choderlos de Laclos novel ''Les Liaisons dangereuses'', which also starred Phillippe's future wife, Reese Witherspoon. It was a success among its intended teenage audience, cementing Phillippe's ability to play characters that require sex appeal. Phillippe can also be seen in the Marcy Playground music video "Comin' Up From Behind", which appears on the film's soundtrack. In the years following, he appeared in the crime drama ''The Way of the Gun'', starred as a famed software engineer in the thriller ''Antitrust'', and co-starred in Robert Altman's ''Gosford Park'', which was nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture.
