Phil Hartman was born in Ontario, Canada but quickly moved to California by his early childhood and would go on to get a degree in graphic art, leading to a lucrative job designing album covers for bands in the late 1960s. But Phil aspired to have a career that was more extroverted in nature, leading to him getting involved with an improve group, The Groundlings.
Fast forward several years, Phil is a successful voice actor, who has more than 100 characters and is well known for his work on Saturday Night Live & The Simpsons, as well as NewsRadio and a variety of other TV/Movie appearances.
But Phil, the father of two children with wife Brynn, also had a life that not many were aware of, which consisted of an unhappy marriage filled with turmoil for both parties. Brynn’s insecurities and jealously of Phil’s succeed caused many fights, but would also eventually lead to a fatal night where both would end up dead.
