Gina Philips
Gina Philips was born in Florida in May 1970. She began acting in her early twenties, during the mid 90’s, with guest spots on popular television shows including “Blossom,” “Dark Skies,” “Growing Pains,” “Silk Stalkings,” “Sliders” and “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.” These television spots led her to two recurring roles in the early 2000’s on “Ally McBeal” and “Boston Public.”

Philips first forayed into horror with a supporting role in 1995’s Deadly Invasion: The Killer Bee Nightmare. Six years later she starred in Jeepers Creepers alongside Justin Long. The movie proved to be wildly successful; taking the #1 spot at the box office and making back almost 4x its production budget. There was still more work to be done within the genre, though, and Gina followed up Jeepers Creepers with lead roles in Dead & Breakfast and Jennifer’s Shadow in 2004 and Ring Around the Rosie in 2006.

where is Gina Philips now?

Midway through the 2000’s Gina returned to television with guest spots on “Medium” and “Monk” before jumping back to the horror genre with a lead role in The Sickhouse (2010). She did the same thing in 2010, jumping from “CSI” to Chained in the same year. She also tried her hand at producing. For whatever reason, Philips left acting behind in 2012 and has been missing in action ever since. This, of course, means we need to take rumors of her return to the Jeepers Creepers franchise with a grain of salt. But here’s hoping!

Early life and education

Philips was born in Miami Beach, Florida, to an Italian father and an Ashkenazi Jewish mother. She attended the University of Pennsylvania but dropped out halfway through her senior year, in order to pursue acting. However, they allowed her to walk through graduation with the rest of her graduating class since she was only one class shy. Philips is known for her recurring roles on David E. Kelley’s Ally McBeal as Sandy Hingle and Boston Public as Jenna Miller. She has also made guest appearances on Star Trek: DS9, Sliders, ER, CSI, Medium and Monk.

Career

Philips landed her first supporting film role in Deadly Invasion: The Killer Bee Nightmare. It aired on the Fox Network on March 7, 1995. In 1996, Philips had a small role in Unforgivable as Tammy, the daughter of an abusive father. The film premiered on April 30, 1996, on CBS, and received little to no critical acclaim. In 1997, Philips played her first lead role in Born Into Exile as Holly, a 14-year-old runaway.In 2001, Philips was cast as a lead in the 2001 horror film Jeepers Creepers. The film received mixed reviews from critics. In 2003, Philips was originally going to appear again as Trish Jenner in Jeepers Creepers 2, as the plot was about her character and Patricia Belcher’s character hunting down The Creeper, but the plot changed considerably during script rewrites, with Philips turning down what had become a minor role. Her next film was the American comedy drama The Anarchist Cookbook, which received mostly negative reviews.

In 2004, she starred in the low budget horror films Dead & Breakfast and Jennifer’s Shadow. In 2006, Philips again played a lead in a low-budget horror film, Ring Around the Rosie as a young woman plagued by horrible visions and dreams of tragic past events while spending time at her grandparents’ secluded summerhouse. The next year she starred in the horror film The Sickhouse and the Lifetime television film My Baby Is Missing. The film was released as a DVD under the title Stolen Innocence on 7 January 2010.

In 2011, she began work on the Jennifer Lynch film Chained (previously titled Rabbit) a Canadian psychological thriller filmed in Regina, Saskatchewan and released in 2012.[

She reprised her previous role, in a brief cameo, in the third Jeepers Creepers film, Jeepers Creepers 3. Shooting began in Louisiana in February 2017, and the film was released in September of that year.
