Biography:Pop and rock singer and musician "Phil Collins"' actually started out in the acting end of the business. A busy child performer, Collins played the Artful Dodger in the London production of Oliver and was also fleetingly seen in the "Beatles" film "A Hard Days' Night" (64). Upon joining the rock band "Genesis" in 1970, Collins abandoned acting in favor of a fruitful music-only career. In the mid-1980s, Collins began easing back before the cameras with recurring villainous appearances on the hit American TV series "Miami Vice". With 1988's "Buster", Collins made his film-starring debut, playing a notorious bank robber. Since that time, Collins has sporadically returned to films; in the opening scenes of Steven Spielberg's "Hook" (91),Collins plays the atypically businesslike role of a Scotland Yard detective. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
