Did you notice the question mark next to his occupation as former federal agent? Not even the production believes him. He really is delusional.

:duno: yes i saw that however why would he say that on something that he can clearly be called out on. Doesnt make any sense and I dont believe that the FEDS of any agency would be happy about that on National TV. It's a FEDERAL crime to impersonate any FEDERAL OFFICER in any capacity.. (:;)
Former Fed Officer :taze posting here however i'm not being treated for dry throat! ! :lol3:

This is not true. If it was, then they would arrest the casts of Criminal Minds, NCIS and all the others. In this case, he is a contract actor. The real problem is, he is not a very good actor.

ACTING on a series is not the same as being on a reality tv show and saying it's ur "professsion".
:lol: However I have been wrong in the past. Too bad that RULE was something that was drilled into me at training and written in all the manuals.
Guess we'll never know till the end or someoen that knows him comes foward! Either way that's gonna be a topic at the finale! :lol:

Maybe he was a janitor in a federal bldg.......
Producers allow contestants to over-inflate or under-inflate who they actually are. This is just another case of that. Russell Hantz was found to be making himself up more than he really is.
I forget his name, but a few seasons back, the internet millionaire really played down who he really was.
This is just another case of that. It is an "entertainment" program, produced for TV. It is not a documentary.

I have to give him the possibility that he was a federal agent. There are so many federal agents throughout the govt. I was one for 15 years so who knows. :duno:

When you hear "federal agent," you often think of someone like Jack Bauer or an FBI agent chasing down fugitives, but there are a lot of agents that are nothing but glorified paper-pushers. I'm not saying one way or another on Phillip, but you never know...
